Although they are fucking stupid for going along with it I feel sorry for the fans, and probably players, but hard to feel sympathy for the board considering the statements they've put out so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that statement is anything like good enough and if anything only muddies the waters further. They still haven't acknowledged that they have broken the COVID rules, they seem to think the whole fuss is simply because it is George Galloway and that had it been a slightly less controversial "celebrity" we'd all be fine with it. Their actions amount to sticking two fingers up at not just our supporters but supporters of every club in the country who have been unable to attend matches. The fact the person in question is a despicable rat is unfortunately just the cherry on top of a completely laughable and inexcusable exercise. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustafa_sheet Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Other than less than 300, no sorry. I've no idea when he was given tickets. The first I knew he had been at the game was when I saw it on Saturday night. I dont think its poor from you. As a club we've been poor at PR for a long time. I dont think its wrong to expect better I’m shocked and stunned that way less than 200 fans applied for the ballot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking for myself I was looking forward to limited number of fans being allowed in. When it actually came to entering the ballot I just had no enthusiasm for it so didn't apply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I find the latest statement pretty baffling too. I suppose I can see that if 300 spectators were to be allowed and fewer than that had applied, there might be provision for the board to invite guests. That position fundamentally shifted, however, with the announcement on 19th December about the entire mainland going to Tier 4 on Boxing Day. Surely, there was no particular need to advise Galloway, given that the Tier 4 news wasn't exactly kept secret. Perhaps, as a courtesy they should have, but failing to do so doesn't adequately explain how Galloway thought he could still turn up and get in. And it sure as Hell doesn't remotely explain why on turning up, he was somehow admitted anyway. I just don't understand it. The statement still reads like it concerns an ill judged snub to supporters, rather than an absolute breach of regulations that clubs are required to adhere to. It still has me wondering if the club has acted unwisely, but somehow within their rights. Is that the case, or is it simply that they're trying to make it look that way? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible they've not heard anything yet from the Scottish Government / Police / SFA / SPFL / Local council, and are hoping they may get away with it as long as they don't admit the breach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board full of Unionists, allowing a **** like Galloway to play his immature games over Covid restrictions and rule breaking. Embarrassed to be an ex-Doonhamer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I think if it were any other club in our division bar Alloa and Arbroath then the fans would have been clamouring at the gates to get in, Covid or no Covid.This has been a long time coming and for many I fear the Galloway fiasco will be the last straw.They haven't been at ICT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making the punishment 1 point deduction/£100k fine (just withold the government grant money) for each breach seems proportionate then. I can't be the only one thinking that the Government wouldn't pay their grant to clubs that break the rules, especially not the entire sum, seems like a stupid way to use tax payers money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans aren't allowed at games in tier 4. QoS admitted fans. Its pretty open and shut tbh. ETA - According to the Herald, Police Scotland are investigating.

You have regularly commented on what is and isn't in the rules for COVID breaches across multiple threads, but I've asked you several times to point me in the direction of where these rules are and you have been unable to do so. There are three options here; a) they are publicly available and I am missing something; b) you have access to something that isn't in the public domain; or c) you are essentially just guessing as to what punishments are and are not available.
