Unless Accies buy a right back, centre midfielder and at least 1 striker will be a comfortable home win. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Is the plan here for the ground, including the main stand, being fully open for people to rock up, buy a ticket in the Arena or the window in the 'new stand' and then just get in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Main Stand wont be open, but otherwise yes I think so. There should be a statement early in the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be solely the preserve of substitutes (I'm not sure why they aren't allowed in the dugout) and people more far important than the paying fans such as blazers and hangers-on, press pass holders and George Galloway and his family should he wish to make use of his season ticket *cough cough*. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'm guessing that changing rooms on both sides are still getting used, meaning that the main stand remains the preserve of subs etc, as suggested. It seems a bit daft at this stage tbh, but it's maybe not within the club's control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, fair enough. I figured it would be something like that. I'd have thought that earmarking the first few rows would be sufficient for that, but I suppose it's easier to just shut the whole thing, rather than insert complicated boundaries and restrictions when the rest of the ground can cope comfortably with the attendance. It's just frustrating that the full match experience hasn't yet returned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems absolutely nuts that players still need to maintain 2 metres distance from each other when the rest of us don't, but that's obviously not the club's doing. It's good that steps will be in place for next time. Edited August 23, 2021 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that steps will be in place for next time. Not necessarily next time. I believe it's likely to be more than a month. It certainly won't be in place for the Broomhill cup tie and will be touch and go for the Arbroath league game I imagine. It's been addressed though and the solution is out of the club's hands in terms of timing. The rest of us of course don't prevent fixtures from going ahead by being unavailable to attend them. Given the extensive number of cases across the Championship in the last fortnight it's hard to argue with the logic. The manager has already confirmed we've had several positive cases at the club in the last fortnight (including me). Morton were missing players on Saturday. Ayr were missing players. Etc. Society opens up and the young and only partially / recently vaccinated get Covid in droves. Who'd have thunk it?

Honky Tonk Man Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Only thing to point out is that recent research showed that being double jabbed didnt prevent you getting covid or even passing it on, but it lowered the likelihood of severe impacts. If that is the case, tricky to see how we will keep a league going, esp once the darker colder months lead to an inevitable increase in cases. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Society opens up and the young and only partially / recently vaccinated get Covid in droves. Who'd have thunk it? Yes, I suppose so. I was thinking of how at one point last winter, football clubs were among very few workplaces that were still soldiering on while everywhere locked down. It therefore seems odd that they're now among the most restricted working environments around. The logic around youngsters getting it and the potential Impact on matches, however, is pretty sound. Don't ever make me admit to being wrong again. D'you hear? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
