St.Ricky Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Discussions are taking place about using larger stadiums to host games involving other teams with normally smaller crowds. This could see us play Dundee United, Hamilton Accies etc at Ibrox, Celtic Park and Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Saints Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Why, if things go as they are SD will be binned by September. Wont be justifiable if deaths and new infections at virtually zero as they should be long before September. Look at NZ rugby today, full normality.

Why not the Saints play there home games at SDA, but with no opposition supporters?I’m sure if it were either limited to season ticket holders initially spread across the four stands to maintain the social distancing and then look at allowing non season ticket holders in.Just a thought.

southsidebud Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hopefully we will get our games at the SDA - I do think some of the early ones will be behind closed doors. However, if we need to use bigger neutral venues then - from a completely selfish perspective - I would want Hampden. 15 min walk for me 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. I suggested this elsewhere. Arguments for games at a Hub venue seem to be financial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrok Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 NZ covid deaths 22, Scotland 2,447 covid deaths.I sat in disbelief watching the news and the rugby in NZ, wish we could have football back with full stadiums.I think we will still be a bit behind NZ and football in front of empty stadiums will be crap as we will see next week when the EPL starts.Why, if things go as they are SD will be binned by September.

NZ isn't part of the UK and the second follows from that. They could make and fund their own rules. Scotland is an admirer of the Wellbeing Approach to GDP adopted by NZ but isn't able to enact that approach in the present set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
