C&A not the shop Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 First game with fans back in would ideally be Airdrie at Fir Park. And we pump them. Get 21/22 season kicked off with a feel good factor. Airdrie at home East Kilbride Away Clyde at home Ayr away That would do me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is little to no chance of fans being back inside stadiums by July, Covid cases are rising sharply again. But that aside at would be good to play Airdrie again, as long as we beat them.

Is the assumption that July/August will see home fans only possibly season ticket holders only, anyone got grander expectations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I'm very hopeful that all our ST holders will be able to attend games from late July/August on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Does anyone know when the transfer window opens? If its July, quite a few clubs, including us, could be struggling to field decent teams for the opening League Cup fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&A not the shop Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Transfer window opens 9th June. Closes 31st August. Given they're having 16k at Murrayfield on June 26th which is around 1/4 of capacity I don't see why they can't have 3.5k to 4k at Fir Park for the league Cup games nearly a month later and realistically I can't see more than 4k people wanting to watch us play in a league Cup group stage game.

Not disagreeing on the numbers, it’s how it’ll be managed that’s of interest to me. Are folks that desperate to see live action they would socially distance in all four corners of the ground? That’s not a matchday experience for me & I’d wager many others will be of similar thought. Grown to like having my father sat alongside - that’s ‘our’ time. No interaction amongst the friends and regulars around me another sticking point that would see me drift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 For me, even the most stringent crowd restrictions would be better than watching a stream from an empty stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a more interesting question. I know for the play off games (well at least the Dundee vs Killie game) they had all the 500 fans in attendance in the one stand behind the goal but how it was managed beyond that I've no idea. I've kinda assumed you would both get your usual seat and with the usual folk you sit near and also that the full stadium would be utilised, clearly you can't have both. Can see people especially annoyed having to go to the South stand as the entrance is so far away from all the other stands, you can't just fall out the fir park club and end up in the queue.

ropy Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 If we are going to be seated apart from people anyway I would be happy to test different vantage points around the stadium. First preference would be my own seat though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderpig Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 QoS are a decent side but it's a very good draw for us, can't see us having much trouble with any of the teams, plus it's been a while since we played and pumped Airdrie, so here's hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more interested to see if the supposed vote to ban them in the Premiership actually happens. That would be a huge step forward. I don't worry as much about what the wee teams like Annan and Killie do. We'll be back at Hampden soon though, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
