JamesM82 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 1 hour ago, Dundee Hibernian said: Celtic and Sevco might be the most problematic in determining who gets into their games. With supports and season ticket holders of a wider geographical dispersion than other clubs countrywide, I'm not too sure the Scottish Government will be in favour of large numbers of supporters travelling distances for home fixtures any time soon. The problem with bigger clubs getting crowds back isn't necessarily to do with how widespread their support is. I think they're more concerned about (over)crowding on public transport, e.g. the subway on Ibrox matchdays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be the clubs which have to check the location of season ticket holders, and have responsibility for this, as has happened for the three trial sporting fixtures so far. Interesting, how far away do you have to live before you're not allowed to attend a game? Within the city the club plays in would simplify it, presumably? If that proves problematic for fans of a couple of clubs who - for reasons that have nothing to do with football - choose to travel from (say) Ireland, or 120+ miles away in Scotland, then they might just need to wait a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone mentioned above, the govt dont want people travelling all over the place for events and certainly not from other countries. This is probably not such a massive issue for 90% of the top flight clubs. p.s. I may - obviously - be talking shite !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure I understand this thought process. I live around 30 miles from Ibrox. Say for instance, I was to drive in my own car and park near Ibrox. In what way will I have an increased risk of spreading the virus compared to someone that lives in the city that jumps on a bus or the subway, in close proximity to lots of other people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you re 'thought process'. But there are many anomalies in all areas of the guidelines. I’m resigned to the fact that I’ll be in the last group of season holders to be accepted back to Tannadice, as it’s presently being planned on a distance basis. Suppose clubs won’t be asking supporters how they plan to get to the grounds, and it’s more practical to set out objectives based simply on home locations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't, but not everyone has a car. Plenty of fans use public transport. The guidelines have to be general otherwise they become pointless.

I appreciate why they’d be inclined to implement such a policy, but it is shortsighted and I was trying to highlight why it is flawed logic because there are many variables. I’d be fairly confident that a larger portion of fans residing in Glasgow will use public transport and increase the potential exposure of the virus compared to those travelling from out with the city. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 So, Aberdeenshire then...?No. The area covered by Aberdeen City Council, and the area covered by Aberdeenshire Council.
