santheman Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 So with current restrictions supposed to end on 17th does anyone think that this game will go ahead in front of a normal crowd including away fans. Personally don't think for a minute that it will but in the unlikely event restrictions are lifted, an announcement would surely have to be made at least a few days before the game to allow for ticket sales.

weeyin Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 If there are going to be 500 limits on crowds, or worse, zero crowds, I'd rather wait for a few more weeks and extend the season instead. I know there might be logistical challenges with that, but I'd rather we tried to deal with that than with playing in empty grounds. While it was great last season to have anything available at all, I'd struggle to watch similar this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance, Covid numbers are rising not falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hospital admissions, admissions to ICU and deaths will govern what happens next. If they dont rise, there will be no justifucation to limit outdoor gatherings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunderwell Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 If you look at the last two games Rossco have played they have had an abundance of shots hence the 5 at the back play to sneak a win mentality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 The Joint Review Group are telling clubs to prepare for full houses after the winter break. We are 20 days into the Omicron wave and ******'s tsunami of hospitalisations still hasn't emerged so keeping fans out for longer isn't at all justifiable.

Would that be the same hospital admissions in Scotland that have doubled since Christmas, large numbers of staff not at work due to covid, positive case numbers that are pretty much doubling every 2 or 3 days and you want no restrictions on people mixing and turning football matches into super spreader events.....stop talking shite. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hospital admissions are increasing because people are being admitted for other reasons and testing positive for asymptomatic Covid. The ICU number is currently 42. The figures from England show that sporting events make no difference. Anyone who genuinely believes that stopping football matches which are attended by less than 2% of the population for a few hours a week will reduce transmission has little grasp on Covid or arthimetic. Pushing people from an outside activity towards inside activities probably increases transmission overall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually engage your brain before you post ....so stopping hundreds of thousands of football fans mixing at and travelling to and from matches with no social distancing etc won't reduce the transmission and spread of covid ok then 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly full and/or full houses at Ibrox , Parkhead, Tynecastle, Easter Rd and Pittodrie as is the case most weeks would put the totals into the hundreds of thousands alone never mind the other 37 grounds so no problems with my counting.

Not at all I am sure the Scottish government won't want restrictions in place any longer than they need to be, so if the advice they get from the experts says no need for crowd limits after 17/1 then I'm sure they will act accordingly. What gets me though is the number of posters on here that think that going to a football match, or the pub or a nightclub etc is more important than trying to control a highly transmissible virus that kills people and leaves others with serious long term health issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those figures are from before the new restrictions. The figures for England outwith London and Scotland are pretty much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
