Further up Conic Hill and Arthur’s Seat are good ones and can be done in 2 hrs max Does "Conic Hill" not just mean Hill hill? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect a high percentage of positives when you can only get a test if you have Covid symptoms, unless you work in a care home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I've got no appetite for football returning short of a return to normal btw. This desperate attempt to get some sanitised, home game only nonsense with your average jobsworth steward trying to control '2 metres!!!!!' social distancing every 15 seconds version of the experience is not doing it for me at all. Nor does the prospect of paying fifteen fucking pounds or more to watch some two-bob live stream of a Championship game. Chuck the lower and non leagues in deep freeze with similar government support to the live events industry (whenever that actually comes) until we are in Phase 4 of lifting restrictions.

A 26% increase in cases in one day, and they are only going to keep heading in one direction.

Billy Jean King Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 You'd expect a high percentage of positives when you can only get a test if you have Covid symptoms, unless you work in a care home.It was below 1% for a long time. It is rising pretty quickly given nothing has changed re test eligibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the pubs closing a couple of hours earlier will help though. Why do you keep referring to this mythical elephant when stats show it's clearly shite. You and VT keep plugging a line that the figures debunk daily. Schools are nowhere near the top vector for the current spike but you appear to be willing to perish on this mountain along with your pal from Greenock. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd personally much rather the government pay them to play BCD (Streamed, and potentially shown to small socially distanced crowd) than pays them to not play at all. Even as an armchair fan, having something to watch at the weekends is far preferable to more repeats of Come Dine With Me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convince me otherwise. If we round the capacity of my club's ground to 13,500, and accept that to maintain social distancing there has to be one empty seat to the side of you in each direction, plus the one you're sitting in, thats 9 seats per person. That means the absolute maximum crowd we could have, using every available part of the stadium, is 1,500. We'd be out of business within 5 games. It's absolutely pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as an armchair fan, having something to watch at the weekends is far preferable to more repeats of Come Dine With Me.In preparation for a season with no Falkirk games, and respecting the fact that I cannot support another football team, it might be time to start compiling a list of misfortunes I want to see happening/can really root for across the Scottish Premiership and the "Barclays". Re English football, VAR continuing to be a hilarious omnishambles is a given. The worse the decision, the happier I will be. Other suggestions are welcome, with particular focus on Old Firm misery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
