hueyview Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Not seen a thread on this, but an article in today's News saying talks ongoing about using Murrayfield 67,000. This would allow 2 to 3 seats between seats..... Not ideal but possibly a short term answer.... Could be in use every week by Hearts and Hibs.

Mikey1874 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Been reported as an offer by SRU to Hearts and Hibs. So SFA / SPFL haven't been in touch about using it as a hub. Edited June 5, 2020 by Mikey1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musemic Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Would need a particularly deep clean after the Lochend spoon burners had been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Murrayfield would offer a lot better options for distancing - the facilities are bigger, there are more of them, and the outside space means people could distance whilst queuing, which is something that would be difficult along Gorgie Road.

The exits are massive if you can come out that way avoiding the stairs... Which are quite wide as well..... Gives a bit of hope for matchday game and a drink after...

If it’s two metres that’s 1 person per 8 seats so just over 8k, both clubs will have more ST holders than that, who gets to go? How do you get to your seats, our for the toilet and leave without getting within two metres. Let’s save the SRU, no thanks as they would say.

As pointed out to me fans usually come with one or more other person who would be with them..... Increasing the 8k figure.. I reckon if you could get 14,000 to 16,000 it would be viable...

How about a two metre Mexican wave system , instead of standing up hands in the air , stand up and move two metres , when you hit an aisle you can go poop safely and join back in on the gap seriously though it’s a brilliant offer from the SRU, if it helps all in rugby and football staffing it’s 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. 👏🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubanjambo Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 If football crowds go back I don't think there will be social distancing, have you seen the state of some leaving Tynie - feels like I've got a rucksack on at times with the jostling. What if one or two need the bogs from the middle of your row? Do the older or infirm get the lower seats, If you have a medical condition do you get the end of a row ?which would all be justified in my mind .Just questions off the top of my head to put out there others will have other questions no doubt.

ramrod Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Won't happen , rental would be a killer . No fans will be allowed in grounds until it's safe for full capacity to be used again .
