3fingersreid Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Home fans only , aye right ? Can’t see there being a game involving the sporting division of the ira and NO celtic fans attending . If and it’s likely there are away fans , what will the punishment be ? Then there’s the guiltiest club of all getting rewarded with a crowd , why them , why can’t it be any of the teams not involved in breaking the law ?

DETTY29 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 2 hours ago, The Treasurer said: The "punishment" was to have a number of games postponed until a later date. Do you think it's fair that the likes of Hamilton, St Johnstone etc should suffer the same "punishment" when neither the clubs or any of their employees have committed any offence. Your club should have been made to fulfill their fixture, without the guilty players. The SG probably didn't help with their encouragement to postpone the games but similar to Uefa 'find 13 players' who you can guarantee have met all protocols and not 'contamibated' by the players in question or forfeit the game.

We should offer to play all our away matches at Tynecastle to help maximise crowds and income for the other clubs. A reasonable rental charge of course. Even if they let us do it it would be problematic if there are local lockdowns in place. The authorities aren't going to want any Septic fans descending on Dingwall (good luck with that), likewise St Mirren aren't likely to get the green light for any fans at their ground any time soon. The more lockdowns there are, the harder it is to see many games being played in front of fans - certainly not any with away fans. I'm still dubious anyone will get the go-ahead for the return of fans in significant numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbee647 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Can’t do links, I’m sure someone can, but there is guidance from Aberdeen re attending this weekends match, sounds awful, no chance of anyone being allowed to leave early must stay in your seats up to 5 minutes after the end of the game, no attempt to leave your seats until gangway is clear, do not face to face anyone in your row, sounds fantastic, hopefully by October the rules will be relaxed, because I have no intention of attending a stadium with those restrictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely to watch - the longer the restrictions continue, the better !! ☺️ Parkhead and Ibrox were never going to be a problem, the Cheeks have the funds to implement any COVID-19 restrictions required to meet SG protocol. The issue will be with smaller clubs with cramped facilities. Testing at Parkhead will bear no resemlance to tèsting at Ross Co. My concern is not the controlling of spectators inside the ground but how they are managed on the outside both before and after a game, especially if alcohol is added to the mix.

However taking what you are saying, the longer its delayed the more chance we can all get back to the game. Even if it is successful it will cause a third spike just as soon as the measures are relaxed, and that will cause an abrupt end to the season. Being patient is the only way we will get back. The government is in no hurry, The spfl are more interested in our money than our health. The greater Glasgow area cant stop the spread of nits, what chance do they have with covid?
