Talbot supporter Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 The SFA have still to give the go-ahead for training. It wasn't the Scottish Government who paused the training, it was the SFA. After the SG statement yesterday, the SFA said they would issue guidelines today which would be effective from Monday. That announcement has yet to appear today, I would expect that it's imminent.Think alot of folk waiting by the minute for this statement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Feet Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Guidance released for leisure centres states changing room facilities will still be closed. So not sure how closer we are actually going to be to getting games on at this stage. Semi pro clubs with their own facilities, possibly they might allow you to access changing rooms but only so many people allowed in at the one time? Think that's what they are doing in the professional game. In any case, we should know more soon.

Probably the Highland & Lowland as well since they're all licensed and fall under the professional game board. So should have enough in place to cover the initial regulations put in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Beat me to it [emoji3595] so training allowed but no friendlies between teams. Plus realistically need a whole pitch to train on which wouldn't have been the norm for a lot of clubs pre lockdown 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they forgotten about tier 7 ? Could be generous and say Tier 5 and Tier 6 covers all the relevant league bodies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can only wrangle so many reps for conference calls at any one time, and the different league bodies are going to have different types of questions. I'm maybe being an optimist in thinking they've just ran out of time to do it all this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Some leagues down South are saying 'home' players turn up changed - away team have both changing rooms, socially distanced. The 30 number was used by the FA, must have been a loophole to include family members - that's why clubs got hammered with crowds of 100+ turning up. Quite a bit of cleaning work to be done by clubs to meet newest FA guidelines,hope volunteers turn up ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Checked the SWPL website, clubs have done the risk assessments prior to training and playing, all looks basic cleaning, signage, one way systems along with pub style arrangements for the clubhouses. Think the majority of clubs have returned the forms, ahead of a busy September fixture list. Worth checking the leagues website for covid19 latest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
