Back in the stadium from 1st August via cardboard cutout.

As it says. Get your ugly mug on a cardboard cutout until the real thing is available.

Personally I think it won't be that long until we can attend games but in the meantime you can have a presence in the stadium.

Awfeck just wait till Shull reads this.....

Looks like a pre-set standard size.

An opportunity for the "larger" fan to look positively sylph like in their seats.

Edited - It's not set up for us yet.

Just as well, they'd run out of cardboard quickly.

Sturgeon is apparently talking about MONTHS before fans get to attend.

This feels like we are being primed to expect no fans until next year.

You'd think football grounds would be a safer environment than shops and pubs.

[munoz 8,448]

Anyway- I'm getting a picture of Anne Budge as my cardboard cutout.

Untrue.

She said that there was no set date, as they hadn't made a decision yet.

Jason Leitch did suggest otherwise, but was contradicted by her.

I'd wager, in England there will be fans allowed in long before next year.

No so sure about up here. wee Nicola seems to be trying to drive people into depression.

With our ground holding just under 8k and with between 2 and 3k ST's, surely distancing could be manageable.

They'll be hedging their bets, like they've done with education.

I think it's more to do with the sheer number of fans involved moving about in and around the stadium, as opposed to being able to space people out in seats.

Aberdeen were talking about 7500 fans presumably concentrated in and around their ground. At the moment that would seem an unnecessary risk.

Three or four weeks down the line with ever decreasing figures...………………………… let's see what happens.

Could all wear masks, sorted.

That'll be a definite, along with social distancing and good hygiene.

Even the simplest of people could manage all three of these.

No, if you go to a couple of them in Glasgow.

shull thinks a few at the club have been wearing them for years already. 

[St.Ricky 8,253]

Great idea. 

Even Wee Boaby from Arbroath can get one.

[Doakes 2,983]

Grim. Would rather fans made donations than give some third party a quick buck. Modern football 

[mattman 1,290]

To be fair it’s another revenue stream for the club, don’t really like it if honest but soon as I seen other clubs doing it, I knew we’d be in about it too.

 

Cant see me putting a pic of myself there but I do have a fair few funny pics of pals that I could send in 😆😂

I like the idea Doakes and in a perfect world I would have preferred to put monies raised into a charity.

The best bar none at all the empty stadiums in England is Leeds United.

Over 15,000 fans sent their mugshot in &!on tv , looks great

Admittedly, nobody proof checked the inbox & sent out the file for printing.

Hence why when there was a throw in , 3 rows back was Osama Bin Laden & Hitler behind him

I do love this type of humour.

Anything like this which sticks two fingers up to authority is a good thing.

Cardboard cut outs? The last time we had cardboard cut outs in the stadium was back in the mid 90s , we called them the back four, boom boom 

 

I will get my coat
