That means training regimes etc etc. As long as they're training on their own, it's not going to be an issue. Players can't and won't be contractually obliged to train while they're on furlough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure their contracts won't state anything about such fitness regimes; they'll be about appearances etc. Specific fitness regimes almost certainly won't be mentioned. It would be pretty easy for a footballer to argue, especially in Scotland where contracts are usually only a year or two, that they're doing such regimes to ensure they remain employable, but that said regimes are not technically part of their terms of employment. Da , it was mentioned that training is part of the "job" of a footballer not just playing on a Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Once football does restart with fans back in the stands in say, 6 months time, I wonder how many people will have been lost to the game.We have social distancing ingrained in our psyche now that I can’t help but think a lot of people will think differently about sitting with people they don’t know in the stands and may choose to give games a miss.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd potentially lose a lot if folk had anything else to do at weekends just now, that might show some that they wouldn't really miss the football. But now I think folk are stuck with f**k all and it makes the desire for football to restart bigger. Coupled with the fact that fundraisers around the country are doing quite well and people are now more open to reconstruction I think there's a real desire to see it come back stronger, even if I don't really agree with reconstruction because of this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Aye, folk are fucking desperate for football to come back. I'd give anything to see the Rovers get gubbed on a Saturday right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Was that not part of the reason for the huge boom in attendances post-WWII? Folk were sick of being cooped up and were desperate to get out and do something social again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulloch Gorum Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) I don't think social distancing will have any real effect on football when it comes back - certainly not at this level where it's usually easy enough to get a few metres to yourself if you want them. The bigger danger for attendances (assuming the death toll isn't apocalyptic, of course) will be folk who've lost so much money from this that they can't afford extra expenses like football games. Even with the government paying a proportion of wages, that doesn't cover everyone (for instance, I am self-employed, but have been so for less than a year, so if the organisation I work with decides to cancel my contract or suspend it until things get back to normal, I'm rather stuck). That probably doesn't affect huge numbers of people, I guess, but not many people are going to come out of this better off than they were at the start.

roman_bairn Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I don't think we do.It may depend on age group to an extent but I can see a few of the older generation having second thoughts.Also a few with young kids I can see being nagged by the other half not to go for a while until things settle.However it’s great to see that we haven’t lost our enthusiasm on here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did we get from the rangers game ?????? Just shy of a quarter of a million. This was paid into the clubs Paypal account where it sat until the weekend but is no longer there. Faz asked all the players to use the popular Houseparty app so they could all do star jumps together. He used the club email address to register which is the same address linked to the Paypal account. A breach of Housepartys security saw the club and many others fall victim to a data breach which has lead to a number of users being left out of pocket. All we have left from that night at Ibrox is our memories. Grant Gallagher did not take part in the star jump session. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
