shawfield shed boy Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 If we don't get fans in the ground, the choice may not be there in a year's time. People need to switch on to the seriousness of this issue and forget about signing players and the new kits.This ^^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM. Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Social distancing in grounds could work for the likes of us and Airdrie who have white elephant grounds and a relatively small support. Wouldn't be able to maintain it at the likes of Falkirk who average about half their stadium capacity meaning plenty of fans would miss out or the 1 stand grounds like Dumbarton or East Fife where there's less space and everyone needs to congregate in the one stand. And then you have the terraced stadiums too that would need guidelines all over the terraces similar to what you get in supermarkets to makesure everybodys staying the required distance apart. I'm all for ignoring the rest of the sides next season and just having a 2 team league with us and Airdrie if it means getting to see some football again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Maybe we should demand that Clyde and Airdrie Colts be allowed into the league to keep League Two going, too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well be an important point in all of that. If we can show we can put on games where others cannot we may find ourselves in an expanded Championship. Outside chance but I think it is a small possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately if it goes to a 14 team Premier then the club will need us to step up. Anger has to be targeted elsewhere. Personally, and without calling for boycotts, I will refrain from attending as many away games and donate £10 to Clyde each time I do not go.

Airdrie, Clyde, even Montrose, could host 3 games a day on Saturday and Sunday, 1 each week night during the week. Could be a solution to getting games on . Clubs with synthetic pitches and big enough stadia , a short term solution. Would mean clubs playing at neutral venues but the “home” team makes the money , as per normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is a stadium being cleaned in between matches when you're playing 3 games a day? How are you going to balance socially distanced queueing and getting people into the stadium on time? You can't have people turning up an hour or two before kick off if there is an earlier game still going on. Who is paying for the stadium? Whether it's club or council owned, you'd have to pay to use it. What if Elgin or Peterhead aren't deemed as having suitable grounds? Are they expected to travel to Montrose to play their home games, when unnecessary travel should be at a minimum?

Links Park would be near enough empty for a Elgin or Peterhead home game, would be aswell just playing behind closed doors at their own grounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly only 1 or 2 games per day to allow for cleaning and safe movement. I didn’t say it was a perfect solution 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does specifically state in the statement : Quote This personal donation has been made without qualification or pre-condition relating to future structure or governance at the SPFL. Whether you believe that or not is up to every individual. Regarding the stadium issue, I am encouraged that we have two directors serving on the SPFL working group. I've no doubt they'll be arguing our case regarding our facilities, whilst also having a slight advantage in terms of being kept in the loop about what could be happening going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 There are changing rooms in the pod to the left of the main stand as well as the main dressing rooms. Can easily clean one and use the other and then alternate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Wardrop is a right back who plays with Dundee Utd but was on loan at Dumbarton last year and has been released by Utd plus rumours and reliable sources sounds wrong lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
