davemclaren Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 1 minute ago, Saint Jambo said: The difference with nightclubs is that they will be able to open following the guidance. It would then be for environmental health to visit and check compliance. Whereas football clubs (looking for more than 5,000 capacity) will be required to apply in advance. That might seem like semantics but is quite a big difference in practice as well. But I assume once they get a capacity approved it won’t get any less, unless something fails. So we need to aim high.

Any judgement made in terms of Hearts would probably have to be compared with differences in terms of HMFC and other clubs with similar levels of ST sales where those other clubs get permission to have more fans inside their stadiums.

Wonder if the club can actually now come clear with what capacity we require to accommodate all fullt paid up season ticket holders assuming we cant have a full house. If they got 7k I’d suggest that’s ballpark full ST sales. I reckon the council will do token checks and allow big numbers in soon - either that or fans/media/clubs will be hounding the council.

If there are no legal requirements to limit numbers and we have a valid safety certificate, which we have, can anyone explain how any authority could limit numbers ? Just read this on the BBC Sport website. "Since 19 July, clubs have been applying to their local council to host more than the legal limit, which will be 5,000 from Monday. They have to submit an operations and risk assessment to prove they are keeping spectators safe. Clubs have to prove they have considered the potential impact on the local area in terms of a Covid-19 outbreak, as well as pressures on public transport and businesses, and whether lots of people are likely to be travelling from elsewhere in the country to the event. Crucially, previous evidence of safely hosting an event counts in favour of applicants, and so clubs who have already had applications approved are likely to be in a strong position". If the Council still need an application from the club for increased numbers then looks like the above types of things will be taken into consideration. Anyway this the first time that I have read the above anywhere, mind not looking too hard. So from a legal point of view this probably counts as deciding factors for events. 10k ST ticket holders with a large number coming from out of town, wonder how many got tickets in the previous ballots that had to travel? I never got one for any of the games and I am in deep Fife so will be interesting if there is one for the Aberdeen game, better get one for that of will be a bit miffed.

Well it starts in a few days. It will be quieter than normal (thankfully and hopefully), but it still remains a major tourist attraction, it has the all clear, and obviously the whole point about tourism is that people travel from elsewhere. As for a comparatively much smaller number of people from outside Edinburgh visiting for the afternoon to sit outside for a couple of hours and watch a football match.....well that will need to be looked at very carefully depending on the numbers.

I think the only logic to this is around large number of people travelling from one place to another at the same time and putting particular strain on public transport. So a Hearts home game wouldn't be an issue as the number of people travelling by public transport from any single place would be fairly negligible. I got the train back to Glasgow after the Celtic game and there was no issue getting a table for 4 to myself. It would make some away crowds harder to justify. Had there been 3,500 Celtic fans at the game then the trains back West afterwards would have been busy. For the Hibs v Motherwell game they may actually have been helped by the fact there was a strike on Sunday so no option for Hibs fans to travel by train.

Good luck in any future ballots, surely you cannot get three in a row This is a new issue and is unlikely to have formed part of the assessment, which I imagine will only have considered social distancing within the venue. I could be wrong, of course. There were and are legal no restrictions on movement within the UK, and now that social distancing restrictions have been removed it is free for the club to seek full capacity. Looking at the new issues that have been brought to the table, as for pressures on businesses, is that not a good thing? The shops, and pubs around Tynecastle will welcome the boost of matchday income. As for public transport, I'd imagine the percentage of people attending matches that use public transport will be much smaller than those who travel by car or walk. I may have got this wrong, but this just looks like another box ticking exercise that the club has to go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is now no legal requirement for social distancing. In court I’d imagine. We need all season ticket holders and walk-ups at games immediately. Scottish football needs the cash - St.Mirren will miss out in circa £30k because of no away fans this coming weekend. We would probably have about 5,000 walk-ups against Aberdeen. That’s probably about £150-200k of lost revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky jamboa Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The Scottish government should have made the decision on football attendances, whether that is 100%, 75% or whatever of capacity. They could even have stipulated no away fans, if that's a concern but not sure how you would police that. I've no confidence in our crappy council giving us what we'd want, whereas guaranteed celtic and rangers will be at full capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could and should go back to scottish government if there are glaring differences in permitted attendances across councils. If its costing us money what options do we have regarding taking council to court for loss of earnings etc etc? What a mess. If only those running our game could act on ALL the clubs behalf to ensure fairness and equality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
