karipidis Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Whilst I agree things are not the same without fans, I think this lockdown without football would have been incredibly difficult. It has given us something to debate, moan about and to look forward to on a Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingantti1874 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 We won’t be going back until it is safe to interact so I have zero worries about the match day experience. I actually think the demand for football will be huge. Lots of sell outs regardless of the product on the pitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now the new main stand has had the covid lockdown to contend with not so long after. Stop building main stands Hearts. Can't wait to get back to a full buzzing stadium.

Also, just prior to ww2, we were granted planning permission to build a new stadium at stenhouse. Remember seeing an article a couple of years ago about it, a 100000 capacity. If the was started a couple of years later, it would probably be built and we wouldn't be the gorgie boys, but the stennie boys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to be political got into one of those before! Not deeply interested to be honest. However going to be a very bitter pill to swallow with half as many cases and harsher restrictions. We are never going to be rid of it but by start of next season we will all be vaccinated and how we socialise should be our own decision .

sassenach Posted Wednesday at 09:21 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:21 Not wanting to get into the politics, but I would imagine that the Scottish government announcement is a bit reticent because they'll be waiting to see how the lifting of restrictions goes in England. If all goes well in England, and the 4 steps are taken on schedule, I'd expect Scotland to not be too far behind. So pubs and full grounds for next season in July if all goes to plan. If things go poorly in England, and steps are delayed or even reversed, it gives Sturgeon the opportunity to say she was right to be cautious. She can't really lose either way. What I wouldn't like is a return to "normal" but with games still messed about with if there is a case of Covid. England has already said that we're going to have to learn to live with it in the same way as we do flu, so I'd like us to be in a position where individuals with Covid don't put everyone else's lives on hold. Re my previous posts on this thread about scrapping football for now. I'm not negative about football at all, but there are bigger things. I haven't been able to see my grandkids since last Autumn, which is far more important to me. When I see footballers hugging on TV while I can't even see my grandkids, never mind hug them, something is wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But being serious, I think I probably agree with you. Which is why I would want unnecessary social interactions to be limited until things are properly under control. And contact sports are unnecessary at the moment. I just want to see my grandkids, sod football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Des' Dad Posted Wednesday at 11:43 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:43 It looks like crowds, albeit limited at first, could soon be allowed back in to football stadiums.
