If something is half as deadly but twice as transmissible is it worse, better or the same? Rates are increasing at a large rate so the government can’t take risk. Even if you have little illness, if you test positive you need to isolate so that adds further pressure on to hospitals and industry. The spread has to stop.

The high transmission is having a big effect on transport and care 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bejazz1 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Yes, so why are we messing about with football?I think the SG are still are waiting on the results of the research to establish how this strain is going to behave. It would be nice to be able to wait to see how individuals are impacted but bottom line is they are not willing to take the risk. The issue here is Football is a mere sport and will not stand in the way of any public emergency…I know many posters on here have eluded to the problems and potential consequences this latest outbreak can have. Many countries are bracing themselves and locking down and I think the SG should actually be applauded certainly not criticised as if they had made the wrong call many would have plenty to complain about. Football in the grand scheme of things is not more important that life or death itself contrary to popular belief. I think it’s also good we have a government who are happy to make tough decisions irrespective of biased views. It would be great if the UK government was a bit more transparent too and maybe we would all act as one to contain the virus once and for all.

Newbornbairn Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Not going down. It'll be the usual, 1 person showing up with loads of season tickets. You could be 50th in the queue and get nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Back Post Misses Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 It shows how absolutely nuts this decision is to limit the attendance. The SS Bar open, all enclosed, people drinking and watching a game going on 50 yards from the pitch. Sturgeon and her crew have called this so wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Why not just operate the same way as the start of the season and ballot the season ticket holders. Totally appreciate that there’s little time but we’ve known about the restricted capacity for well over 24 hours and surely this could have been organised with tickets send out digitally tomorrow or Friday? First come first served (after 120 have been taken off for hospitality) doon the club shop at 9am tomorrow is crazy. If the club can provide a decent reason for handling it this way then fair enough but I am amazed this is how they’re allocating the tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it? A ballot 2/3 days before a game and i guarantee that 20% would have handed them back as they had something else on and the club would have spent a massive about of time communicating to others who missed out. IMO this is the only workable option in such a short timescale FFS think things through first 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s absolutely crazy- I’d love to see Leitch provide the evidence that it’s safer to have people packed into mates’ houses and pubs than an open air football match. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this is the only workable option in such a short timescale FFS think things through first Make it opt in, either in person or via email. Allocate tickets randomly among those who opt in. Send tickets out digitally or make them available for collection at the club shop up till kick off on Sunday. Remove those who get a ticket from the next ballot for the next game and allocate in the same way. They shouldn't have been put in this position but they've not made the best of it IMO. Makes it very difficult for anyone working at 9am on a Thursday to get a ticket. Edited December 22, 2021 by Marshmallo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people couldn’t make it they’d have passed on their season tickets to someone else and if some of the 380 seats were unused then that’s unfortunate but still hugely favourable to making it first come first served IMO. Why are they taking 120 for hospitality? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they taking 120 for hospitality? Don’t know about hospitality other than they will have paid suppliers and it was sold out? Double whammy if they closed that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had this happened before you invested some money you’d be all over it but you can’t possibly say a bad word about the club now. First come first served is the most unfair way. Also, how the f**k can you ‘guarantee’ 20% would hand them back? Another nonsense statement. Also, hospitality day trippers trumping season ticket holders Another poor call from the club but “let’s all pull together” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
