Clubs still need to apply to their LA for crowds over 5,000 (seated) or 2,000 (standing). 6 minutes ago, VinnyPar said: Unfortunately, don’t think that’s right. Still, with a base of 5k before council applications and the last derby in the flesh (at starks) having 6k you'd like to think we can get home and away fans in for this one. I never watched the announcement. I got a notification on my phone from Sky Sports which said ‘Nicola Sturgeon confirms full capacity crowds in sporting stadia to return in Scotland from August 9’ I just assumed they would be correct. I should have double checked given Sky Sports record of reporting on Scottish football… https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12371798/coronavirus-nicola-sturgeon-confirms-full-capacity-crowds-to-return-in-scotland-from-august-9 Edited August 3, 2021 by R.R.FC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The numbering status is fucking hilarious. We're on Zero which means restrictions, them move to minus Zero which means restrictions, I can't fucking wait until we're on minus 0000000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to affect ICT that much but for games like the Fife Derby and the Ayrshire Derby it would be great to have as many fans in as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The 5k stuff is without asking any questions. The club will have some hurdles to jump to get over 5000 for Aberdeen and Dunfermline, but there’s no reason at all not to make the effort. The only reason we shouldn’t have a capacity crowd at both matches is if we can’t sell enough tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Is that 5000 WITH social distancing in place? If so that's only benefitting teams with big enough stadiums to socially distance a 5k crowd - something we'd be unable to do. We'd be back to about 2000 at the most if that is the case. If social distancing is scrapped then that's fine - would suspect 5000 would be enough for the derby/Aberdeen game without having to jump through hurdles to increase it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair fucks to Hamilton, who went for it even at 4-0 down, but putting 2 untested teenagers on, even at 4-1, is not the way to see a game out. I think Mcglynn tried to stretch the game out, but Hamilton were already giving us a bit of bother - shoring it up at that point would have been wiser. That said, both lads spurned glorious chances to wrap things up. To have 2 centre backs on the bench, and not utilise either of them given the situation we were facing, was wild. Riley-Snow looked absolutely lost - looked like he got totally done for the 3rd goal, but I'd need to see it again. As much as there was a lot to be positive about today, the way in which the side totally fell apart in those 20 minutes is deeply concerning. Defending cross balls is probably the one thing you would hang your hat on an experienced defence doing. I'm also concerned about the potential psychological impact as the season goes on. No lead will feel safe. 22 minutes ago, R.R.FC said: I never watched the announcement.

The reasoning for the hurdles and what they actually entail was vague (in that it literally wasn’t mentioned!) but with no requirement for distancing I can’t imagine it’s much more than making sure there’s some sort of ventilation at toilets and concourses. I see no barrier to a normal Starks at both games, although like you I don’t actually think we’ll shift 5000 tickets in any case given they’re both on TV and for Aberdeen there’s a shite kick-off time/train strikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's mental that you need permission for additional capacity if you already have 5000 people inside the stadium not having to socially distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) That decision is a shiter for the larger supported teams (although they may get permission). But for us, other than the derby and or the cup game, it is business as usual at Stark's, which is brilliant. Even IF Fife council make more than 5k a no go, 3k gid c***s in the South Stand and 2k shite c***s in the North Stand - compared to where we have been - is going to be brilliant!

Even pre-covid 5000 would have been seen as a big crowd for us so knowing we're able to get this amount into the San Starko without jumping through hoops is a bonus. Might need to request additional capacity when we win the league mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, there's been ample opportunities as of late to get back to Starks but we couldn't even get 1800 home fans for the opening game of the season which was poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
