They did similar at Murray field two weeks earlier. Starting off small to test processes etc.. seems sensible to me then build up numbers. All moot now given the covid numbers are higher. 

it will be to do with the pinch points of people accessing and exiting the stadium. This would be the points where those people would be in closer vicinity rather than the socially distanced seating they would be allocated. How to manage that will be one of the main bits of information gained by the test events.

It would be interesting to see the testplan and results. Some stadiums will be safer than others so how they score should influence the numbers allowed.

lets just be clear, they all wanted 6 weeks of a pre-season minumum,  there is over 3 weeks to go, and most clubs are still milking furlough.  300 hundred fans at Albion Rovers compared to 300 at Parkheed.  BCD is cheaper for all apart from Division 2.

 

How many are back in full training, not many.  But more than Hamilton has sold season tickets...

The bigger clubs will be eager to get their hospitality suites open first I imagine.

How so far did the 300 meet the selection criteria, was it just a lottery draw?  If I had a season ticket for corporate, I would expect to be drawn lucky every time, even if its to sit in with the main stand.  And the rule of six plays a huge part

EFL clubs given the go-ahead with upto 1000 this week end,  bit of a slap in the face if you cant visit a loved one because it would breach the rule of 6

The 300 was meant to be a random draw. I expect no movement in crowds until numbers go down. Could be a while.

"Yes, we've been treated like shit throughout but that's not our problem."

 

Indeed. Not our problem? I could have sworn that being treated like shit led to us not having a game on Saturday while St Mirren did. It led to us being in the Championship. It led to us needing to try to sue the SPFL for £8m that we will lose this year. But apparently none of that is a problem for us now. Some posters have really jumped the shark trying to defend this one.

 

We can't influence how other clubs act. In the same way as it's not your problem if the dick walkng towards you on the street during pandemic chooses not to move slightly to the side to create space when you do or the ****wit behind you in the queue coughs and isn't wearing a mask when you are. You can only influence your own behaviour. Other people's behaviour is their problem.

 

The other clubs and the SPFL have acted like total dicks and we took them to court over it. Now we're looking after ourselves and if that means loaning a pretty mediocre keeper to St Mirren for a week then fine. People need to get some perspective here.

i agree it’s a hard sell to justify that when families can’t get together.

they still need permission to have fans and if their location is in a local lockdown they wont be allowed fans. They had to apply by today to find out if they could have fans

With the Annan game being called off I have grave concerns on our league even starting now. 

 

Surely the recent precedencies will see the league demand the teams play? I will also imagine there will be a fair amount of forefeights from teams? 3-0 wins till Christmas it is then.

 

Add to that the LC is going to be a mess.

Yep bordering on stupidity testing such a small crowd in big stadiums. 

 

I can see why Celtic are desperate to get gate money coming in with their large staff costs, but I assume League 2 clubs have minimal outgoings on players so crowd numbers are less important where they rely more on the club lottery.

And this is what we need to know what is happens in this scenario when leagues competitive games start.

 

Is there a number of positives where a game has to be deferred for say 24 hours for fresh testing and 13 negatives in place and if not, game awarded to opposition?

 

Or if this had been a competitive game would it have gone ahead if test and trace identified 13 players were not within 2 metres of a positive case for 15 minutes?

 

Or should the Protect Scotland App be compulsory for professional footballers?   

 

Plus I'd have a concern if a game was at risk of being cancelled and awarded to opposition, players lying about their whereabouts.

Top flight football playing in front of a few hundred supporters is utterly pointless and genuinely I’ve no idea what they think those sort of test crowds will achieve. 

Agreed and I think this is a political move by the SPFL to build momentum towards bigger crowds. The argument will be - look how well we did with 300, surely 3000 will be fine (at Parkhead) etc.

[Deevers]

Quite frankly the way all of this is planning out it’s pretty clear that the SPFL have absolutely no interest in anything out with the Premiership. Even there things are a shambles. All aimed at ensuring Celtic in particular eventually get to ha e paying customers through the door no matter what.

Mark Connolly finally charged by SFA.  Hearing on October 1st, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54166010

 

Still not sure what it has to do with the SFA.  Surely the police would be more apt.

Dead right.  With this new worldwide covid surge, I've pretty much written the season off now.  I have absolutely no interest in watching any of these empty stadium games and that will include Hearts.

 

I will probably watch some of the US Open, particularly if a European is in contention, but again it just won't be the same.

See Bobby saved Edouard's penalty. If only he'd done that last May 😢

 

Did he ever save a penalty for us, against anybody? I'm struggling to remember.

Nope not a single one! He has always been rank when faced with a penalty. Someone called it on here too, when the loan was announced. Haven't seen the highlights (not watched any of them) but imagine it was a very poor penalty if Bobby saved it ...

He did, but not in regulation play.

He saved from Kyle Benedictus against Raith Rovers in the penalty shoot-out in the League Cup in 2018.

Have Sky Q box and so The Sports App gives me goals from games I choose to watch (3 mins approx).  I usually watch EPL goals but have cancelled Sky and BT Sport after the sickening SPFL shambles turned me off football apart from Hearts and so, I am not really interested in even competitive football but I would have watched the Hearts v Hearts game live if it had been televised.

 

I can say that I used to watch as much football as I could now ONLY HEARTS.

Its at the point I had no idea until 10 mins ago we had clubs in Europe last night?  I did notice that Hibernians lost though which was pleasing!  yeah the other ones from Malta who have done us no harm, yet I hate them, and I cant think why

 

Its funny the SPFL and SFA have turned more people off the game altogether, just so they can serve one club.  How many people will be lost altogether, there is no product left.  I am only interested in Hearts.  I will only be interested in gloating when clubs start to fold.

I must admit that, in general, my sanctification slips on here but, on the matter of forgiveness, as I've said before, for actions putting forgiveness into "practice" there must be repentance.  On that basis I would forgive, if the SPFL, Celtic and the plethora of antagonistic and even silent but subservient sycophants came clean and admitted their "sins" and also put into action a plan to right the wrongs they've perpetrated on Hearts, Thistle, Stranraer, and the Pyramid system.

 

I don't see it happening and, while I genuinely freely hold out the offer of forgiveness to all these abusers, if they refuse and stay in Babylon the Great, they remain under Wrath!

Colin, fair play to you. Your a better man than me and im sure you'll get your just rewards in the big league in the  sky.

Yeah, a very strange decision. Shankland will get the plaudits for the volley but for me, Bobby shouldn’t be being beaten by it. He’s out of position cause his positioning from the corner is shocking. Nice guy bobby, just not a keeper at the standard we require.

I’ve never really noticed how much he never catches a shot, as he’s faced a lot with them he just pushes the ball away. Yeah he’s well out of position at the first as good as the finish is. We knew he’s shite though, had to laugh at the in the shop window nonsense.

I’ve been laughing at myself cause I thought it was the only logical reason we’d send him to St Mirren, to put him in the shop window haha! 
 

Yeah he always pushes the ball away rather than catches it. The second effort before the second United goal, he should actually hold onto but palms it away. It was always his positional sense that scared me. He’d always be lost in his 6 yard box like he had no clue where he was. Like I said, nice guy, bowfing keeper.

Gordon can play until he's 40 if he keeps himself in shape. Hopefully no need to worry about who the back-up keeper is for some time.
