Hendo Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 3 hours ago, Maboza said: Agreed. I’ve previously said that the 1m distancing is pretty black and white and if we’ve measured it correctly then the club can’t be criticised, .....but we’re clearly missing something when you see the attendance at other grounds. Despite reassurances that they’ve consulted with other clubs approaches as well, it would be good to clearly know what the difference is. Some are speculating that it’s the grouping/bubbling of fans at other stadiums. I can’t see that, as I don’t think it’s as easy to organise as others think. Also, I see people moaning that you see a lack of distancing or mask wearing at other stadiums. That isn’t really relevant tbh as that’s more about fans not complying with the guidelines. The H&S set up needs to be in place and approved in the first place to even allow them in the ground. That’s where we’re currently stuck. The 1m distancing isnt in black and white when you look at the Hibs end today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

div Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Interesting to see one of the journos suggesting that the relationship between the club and Renfrewshire Council is not particularly healthy right now. No reasons given why that might be but the inference is that the Council are quite happy to stiff us on the capacity issue. I did have some sympathy over the restrictions but having seen the crowd at Fir Park yesterday with large groups all sitting or standing side by side with no masks in sight it's very difficult to comprehend why we are being served such severe restrictions other than it being for petty political point scoring.

Majority of Council members probably lean towards the Glasgow Bigots. I am guessing. Probably a decent guess on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Need to to make a new requirement that anybody who wishes to be a Councillor, is a Saints fan. That should sort it. Although, any council meetings might end up like a thread on here.😄 Edited August 2, 2021 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint in exile Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Noticed the County match had 2000 at it. Nobody can convince me that their stadium is better suited to hold double ours safely. Also, the Motherwell 'ultras' or whatever they call themselves were packed together like sardines. No masks, no social distancing. Goverment and Council guidelines? Someone's taking the piss.

bazil85 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 5,000 crowds allowed from Monday without application, anything over and above still needs approval. Move the Hearts game to Monday if we can, job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maboza Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Interested to know what guidelines will be in place for determining capacity now. 1m distancing requirement is obviously gone and you would hope/expect that this was the main constraint on capacity for us and other stadiums around the country. With that in mind, the 5k limit is not driven by distancing. Hopefully it is simply for clubs to demonstrate reasonable efforts for hygiene, controlled entry/exit, and mask wearing to toilets, food stalls, etc. Given that old firm have had 20k+ crowds with 1m distancing, there should be nothing to stop every club having full houses above 5k. Demonstrating health & safety best endeavours to local authorities should be a formality if they play it right and LA’s don’t go overboard.

Monday the 9th,the post I quoted was a reply to a suggestion of move the Hearts game to the Monday = problem solved by Baz. Wont happen but seen the suggestion on twitter too.
