Saint Jambo Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I get that Rangers and Celtic are still in Europe so might lack slots to catch-up on games, but there is no good reason for Hearts v Ross County not to be rearranged for a week of European fixtures.

Tasavallan Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 The SPFL were a tad hasty in bringing in the 500 spectators limit for games played on 26th. With the latest findings on Omicron just published they could have kept the no cuts to spectators for the 26th and use the time during new winter shutdown to appraise the situation before reopening the league on 17/18 January. This also gives time for vaccinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Cormack, if we’re shutting down after the 26th, just let the fans in for the last game… we all have to prove we’ve been double jabbed to get in, after all.

Just sounds like a bit of bitter political points scoring from Cormack again (same as keeping the crowds under 10,000). I’m sure COVID would take a day off because it’s Boxing Day and people are visiting for Christmas though and isn’t a 500 capacity perfect for Aberdeen this season anyway?

I will be gobsmacked if our game against St Johnstone goes ahead on the 18th of January with a normal 17,000 attendance. By playing behind closed doors on Boxing Day, the club are letting everyone know what they think of the 500 attendance figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
