I've not seen anything mentioned on the site yet as most things seem to refer to renewing. Don't think they do mention just buying a season ticket, you'd think after the renewal window closes on the 15th July they will go on sale.

Once the renewal window closes theres usually a week or so for ST hilders to change seats if they want before new STs are up for grabs. However Im sure someone earlier on the thread said they got new STs by going into the TO. Might be worth just contacting the TO. Always worth a bash, they can only say no.

Bazzas right boot Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 The club should set up a premium help line number £1.50/ minute. You can phone the club and tell them all your concerns and some poor ******* can listen and tell them "it will go in the suggestion box" Why haven't we signed players like Killie have? Why is Robbie naw sacked? How much is Naismith getting now? When Is Budge going? How many St have we sold? Why isnae Mcinnes, Neil etc manager? Why disnae the club dae and say what I want?

It depends if the go on cases per 100k or hospital / serious cases per 100k. They need to at some point use the latter. That's the important number. Once a certain % of the population is vaccinated ( not there yet) we need to just get on with it and treat it like the flu or cold virus. By that I mean only a very small % will develop the severe symptoms as they do with other viruses. The bigger problem is not everyone is double vaccinated yet and even when we are it has to be a global effort. For example many South American and African countries are only a fraction vaccinated I think we'll see a good % allowed back in sooner rather than later but not full.

No shit Sherlock, that's why they are ORGANISED and SAFER!!!!!!!!!! That related to level 0 between 19th Juy and 8 August. During that period the normal cap on outdoor events is 2,000, with the option to negotiate higher limits with your local authority. Along with the removal of the legal requirement for physical distancing outdoors from that date, hopefully it will be possible for football clubs to negotiate significantly larger than expected crowds. To be fair to Government, they already understood that organised events were safer, that is why they had a cap at level 0 of 1,000 (standing) compared to 15 for informal gatherings at level 0. Given that no informal social gathering is likely to exceed 1,000 people removing the cap on outdoor informal social gatherings still makes sense. Today's news is great for Scottish football. Hopefully will put to bed a lot of the more pessemistic predictions of a season of watching online again and give more Hearts fans the confidence to buy season tickets.

I've said before that I thought they shoud be trying to push the start of the league season back as far as possible to allow for fans returning. I was expecting capacity crowds from the end of October at the latest (based on the previous dates for all adults to be fully vaccinated). Now the date for capacity crowds is earlier it makes even more sense. There are league games planned for 31 July and 7 August. Then a gap until 21 August. There is also a winter break planned. Postpone the first two rounds of fixtures and either find midweek dates for those games or shorten the winter break by a week to allow the games to be played then. Then push the league cup group stage back by two weeks or leave a couple of weeks between the group stage and the league starting when teams could play friendlies. There is even the option of brining the next round of the league cup forward from 14 August to 7 August (as it is hardly know for big attendances) and then organising the first round of league fixtures for 14 August instead. It just needs a bit of imagination and flexibility. 17 minutes ago, Newton51 said: 9th August is the date where all social distancing would be removed for all events.

Not sure they will allow away fans initially for travel purposes I can understand people being sceptical after the last year, but there is no way that the SFA are going to impose limits beyond what the Government require. The SFA and SPFL have been pressurising Government constantly about the return of fans. Also no reason not to allow away fans, when there are no other travel restrictions in place. Despite what some in football will have you believe, football has been given preferential treatment in a number of ways by Government (Scottish and UK). That isn't about to change as everything else returns to (almost) normal. Related but unrelated note, I see UK Government have said there will be at least 60,000 fans at the semis and finals of the Euros. Another positive step for sport in the UK.
