Specky Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I did some shopping in Cameron Toll at lunchtime and noticed there was an amateur game (one of Edinburgh South's teams presumably) on in the neighbouring Inch Park. I was half tempted, because as far as I know there is no law to stop one standing in a public park for 90 minutes, to watch the game. I can't see how that is any different from standing in Prestonfield, observing social distancing, and watching a game there.Whilst there is no law against standing in a public park to watch, the SFA instruction/guidance is that no one other than 4 officials from each team should be near the pitch. This must include a first aider and covid officer.If there are people stopping to watch then it is unfortunately the covid officers duty to ask them to move on. This is the hard bit as a) the officer may not want to cause conflict by approaching and asking them to move on and b) it takes the recipient of the instruction to actually follow the rules. Something which unfortunately I have seen ignored at kids football level as parents seem to think it's all about them getting to watch rather than actually letting their kids play footy.I would say tho that my own squads parents have been excellent but that's not being followed which is just going to lead to the closing of kids sport again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Fair enough but I wonder what constitutes as "near" the pitch. Ab reductio ad absurdium If I was sitting in the park on a bench 10 metres away from a pitch and reading a newspaper with holes cut out of it like in spy movies could I watch a game?

They still employ a lot of full-time staff and those who depend on it for their livelihoods, which is almost non-existent in non-league football. I think scale makes a huge difference but that's my opinion. If you're asking what I want, I'd say shut the pubs (and funfairs, restaurants etc). There's no chance I would go to one right now. 34 new deaths across the UK today, 714 new positives in Scotland (up 156 on Friday) and West Lothian has above average rates, 10th in Scotland, at 75 new cases. Two weeks from now it'll be at least double. Anyway, I'm not persuading anyone so I'll shut up. Anybody know what's happening with season tickets? They said they'd go on sale on Thursday but I haven't heard anything since and they're not on Fanbase. Same crowd of folk been going to the rose club on a Saturday. Glad to announce no covid outbreak. Or notifications on protect scot track app yet. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that playing fields which are side by side are an issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took a brief pull on sale of manual season tickets after having to cancel the match yesterday. Much more straightforward to refund tickets bought online so we've left that up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only picked it up by accident when I was on FB.Not sure it was advertised in advance - as possibly being trialled first?It was certainly great to watch a Rose game again. Lots of new faces to get use to also....!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dug Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Ah, no mention here or on Twitter, so I missed it. I only assume it was a trial. I didn't see any thing about it in the run up, it just popped up on Facebook when it went 'Live'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
