Restriction levels change on Monday so would be extremely surprised if it were only the 2k.

To be fair to the Council they can only operate within the constraints put on them by the Scottish Government who set the rules. Although it might be fair to say they aren’t pushing back enough.

They will have clear instructions from scot gov what is expected. Does anyone seriously think if Edinburgh Council said its 20,000 full capacity, that scot gov would say no problem its Edinburgh Council decision

[Leitherhibs]

Heard from a non-Hibs supporting colleague that we've applied for 9k. Seems pretty unrealistic given we only had 2k in for the Arsenal game earlier this week, is this us aiming high to then negotiate a more likely 5-6k attendance?

[hibbyfraelibby]

I believe 20k would be outwith the council's remit and that kind of number would need to be approved by the Scottish Government anyway.

As I understand it the council can only approve numbers up to 5k so even this application we've apparently submitted for 9k would need to be approved by the Government.

I wonder if Hibs are basing their application of 9k on opening 4 stands and making a health and safety case for each stand in isolation?

For me, 9k across 4 stands wouldn’t present any greater risk than say 6k spread amongst 2 or 3 stands?

Is it just the council when applying for over 5k? I thought anything over that required government approval. Don’t know if changing to level zero impacts that.

That's my understanding but perhaps it's changed with the lowering of the levels.

There was definitely talk on here a couple of months ago that we would need to apply to the Government if we wanted more than 5k to attend.

Not sure how many season tickets they have sold, sure I read on here it was around 8k so looks like 70% of season ticket holders will be able to attend if that's the case. There will be as always some ticket holders who can't attend anyway so hopefully a good number who want to go will manage to get a ticket.

[Sir David Gray]

Looking at the Aberdeen twitter that's the full amount they applied for.

They initially applied for just over 8k to attend every home game until 9th August but got the knock back and now they've had agreement for just over 5,600.

I expect we'll get something similar, there was never any way we were going to get anything like 9k.

Only in scotland do we complain about not enough fans at the game the same day we learn that the UK has the highest number of reported cases in the world right now.

I think it's right to be cautious and considered but one of those considerations should be how many of those cases is resulting in hospitalisation or death. If the serious effects have been limited to similar levels of other diseases and illnesses due to vaccination then surely we can be a bit more risk averse.

Cases in Scotland are dropping now - any co-incidence this is after the Euro football games....

England cases will keep rising after the Euros..that's 1 week since the final...add another week then expect it to lower again.

Sitting outdoors at Easter Road isn't high risk - said before I will feel safer going to ER than going to the shops or to a restaurant.

Fans should be allowed back in - we have a 20,000 seated stadium - spread them out it's really not that hard.

Not everybody has the time to sit around refreshing browsers etc, usually mid morning, in the hope of acquiring tickets.

Give every season ticket holder a fair chance to attend a game, and create a system that gives us all an equal shot.

Even if it was to mean you attend this game, you miss the next one for example.

There’s not a lot of time for a ballot. It’s not on the season ticket so they’d need to give time for people to apply for the ballot and then time to buy the tickets etc. First come first serve will be a lot quicker with the short timeframes.

I agree.

I just worry that if we’re only told on Monday we won’t have time for that.

By the time you give people a deadline to apply for the tickets and then a deadline for the uptake of actually getting them and the admin that goes with that I think time would count against us.

Yup - not like they have had months to plan this :greengrin

Ballot is the best way and fairest - though would be useful for the club to know when we go back to a capacity that allows all ST holders into the stadium.

Until then all ST holders should be allowed the chance to see at least x1 game of the next 3 or 4 with reduced capacity. Rather than someone at home refreshing the log in page and getting lucky 4 times and others not getting a chance to see a game if they are able to go.

I think that's how most of the English clubs worked it when they were letting crowds of 2000 in just before Christmas. If you got a ticket for game 1, it would be someone else's shot for game 2 etc.

Very easy to get confirmation of your vaccine status, as I've just found out.

Login - Customer Service (nhs.scot) (https://vacs.nhs.scot/csp)

I had a phone call, not a letter, for both appointments so didn't know my user name, but it was easy enough to register because I had a note of when my first appointment was. The website says it can take up to 14 days for the letter to arrive, but I'm confident a screen shot on my phone should be fine if proof if needed.

Not getting ahead of ourselves for the 3rd round, but heard Stuart Cosgrove on off the ball today, saying he know of the 6 opponents St Johnstone could draw in the 3rd round. Had a look on some of the wiki sites, but can’t see this, our potential opponents

[ACLeith]

There’s an option to click on forget username
You’ll need the date of your appts though

I followed that option, dead easy. Fill in basic details, including your first appt date, and everything set up, with a link to get your vaccine status.

5:30 kick off in andorra for the 2nd leg as well.

Don't know. Surely having it on your phone from the official site would be enough in this day and age.

The NHS site implies you have to request a paper copy I.e. printing from your record on screen will not be enough.

13.00 CET, but cosgrove seemed to think he knew who Saints could play

[ABZHFC]

Everyone attending Pittodrie has to have a negative test.
If that's the case, why is the capacity limited if nobody in attendance has the virus?

A great point, it is something clubs should have been pushing for since last August, but few seem to have

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

I can see the logic in keeping Celtcs numbers down. Not to cast up old talking points but a lot of their support comes from far and wide. With the right controls in place a full Pittodire or ER could be a useful test event.

What can you do if you don't have your username to find out the vaccine details?

If you know when you had the first vaccine there is a reset option on the site. After you put in your name, dob and postcode and the first vaccine date it brings up your username and from there you can request a paper copy of your confirmation.

Alternatively if you know the info I mentioned you can call 0808 196 8565 and they will send a paper copy out to you.

If like me you couldn’t remember the date you had your first vaccine or your username you can call 0800 030 8013 and they can tell you when you had the first one.

[Pretty Boy]

We should just stick a big purple cow in the west stand car park. Adam McVey himself will be round serving pies and taking tickets.

Now expecting a decision from the council until Monday at the earliest.

I assume Edinburgh council don’t do working on fridays as have been the case for a while. They certainly don’t do roadworks in a Friday afternoon.

So decision on Monday, ticket son sale from Tuesday. That’s really really tight especially if additional criteria like negative covid test required.

The idea that there will have to be a negative test before hand is nonsense tbh. Too much paper work etc to check. Hibs couldn’t do that for 9000. I reckon we will get 4000 with the same set up as arsenal.

Show proof at the turnstile matching the name on the ticket.

Happened at Ibrox today. Happening at Pittodrie. Don’t think we’ll be any different if we want more in.

Whatever happens on Thursday (numbers wise), I doubt I will make it due to a change in role at work so it is quite busy.

On the BBC website it states in the article that Celtic and Aberdeen fans will have to provide proof of a negative lateral flow test. The assumption is amongst us that we'll have to do the same. Proof of having had vaccinations is obviously a different matter and isn't mentioned in the article. We'll just have to wait with bated breath for an announcement on Monday Billy:confused:

LFT’s are utterly pointless. Everyone I know tested negative on their return from London and tested positive PCR. Only around 40% accurate when it shows negative.

They are absolutely pish. I posted on the holy ground thread that I tested positive with a pcr on Wednesday, all my lateral flows previous to that and after it and I’ve done 10/15 are all negative, every single one. They are garbage

I was the same a few weeks back, loads of negative LFT’s but a positive PCR. Same with most of the boys that were down. First person I’ve ever heard testing positive on one yesterday was someone I work with. Supposedly very accurate if it comes back positive but it never seems to! Total waste of time.

Had to test negative to get into euros games, but all you had to do was scan a test and say it was negative. Wasn’t any proving it.

[offshorehibby]

Right for the hard of hearing and understanding.

I get tested prior to going offshore and a couple of days later, all property off the company.

So to get into a game I'm expected to rock up at a test centre, knowing I'm feeling fine taking up valuable resources from the NHS just cause i have to go to a Hibs game.

No, you go into a chemist and pick up a lateral flow test, complete it in the house and register the result on the NHS website. It looks the same as the Euros though and you can insert whatever result you like, therefore it’s a completely pointless exercise.

Cheers just cheeked back a couple of post and saw link to Aberdeen details. Luckily i ordered up a pack of test kits a few weeks back which i haven't used in anger yet.

[Hibby70]

I assume the confirmation text/email comes back immediately once you've registered the result if we've to do them on the day?

Imagine there will be loads of folk that either don't read the requirements or have time to sort out a test prior to the game on Thursday.

As a teacher, I’ve been doing these tests for months now… they don’t get any easier or more pleasant! If you are considering going to the game and thinking this might be a requirement - I would get on the website tonight and get some ordered. I usually get mine from the school but I ordered some last week for the holidays and they came through the post the next morning.

Can't imagine tickets will be on sale until Tuesday now.

If a lft is a requirement then Hibs need to get that message out quickly and clearly so people have a chance of getting to the chemists etc. Not a lot of leeway here.

That's not what Aberdeen are saying (https://www.afc.co.uk/2021/07/16/ticket-info-faqs-bk-haken-match/)

WHY IS THE MAIN STAND UNAVAILABLE?
The Main Stand will be unavailable for this match as the internal areas of the stand form part of the ‘Red Zone’ which must be restricted to Players & Officials only as part of UEFA’s Covid-19 protocols.

I get that it’s difficult for Hibs to confirm anything given they’re still awaiting a decision. But I do think they could be a bit more open about what they’re looking for and the potential requirements around it, even as a worst case scenario type thing. Just so folk can be on the front foot.

We’re not going to get the rumoured 9k we’re after but we don’t really know what we’re after and what it’ll look like even if we get it.

Look at the SC final fiasco. On here we had people moaning about Hibs, the "GFA", the SG, etc.

It's not ideal but I think Hibs are right to make the announcement only when they have all the details, assuming that they have everything in place for things to go as smoothly as possible.

I can’t remember much moaning towards Hibs around the Cup Final. Plenty moaning about the outcome, not towards Hibs though.

I don’t see any issue with them being open about what they’re looking for. I actually think it’d get them some credit for it. I don’t feel like we’re terribly bothered about how many we get in.

So nobody has suggested Hibs are asking for tests?

We’ve no idea what Hibs are asking for full stop because they don’t say much.

But if it’s a condition for other teams getting increased attendances, fair to think it’d be similar for us.

[Eyrie]

So nobody has suggested Hibs are asking for tests?

We don't know at this stage but, as BHFC has said, it would be helpful if Hibs could give us the heads up on what might be required (eg a test, or proof of vaccination). Of course, the lack of comment may mean that nothing is required.

Looking back on the official site, there didn't seem to be any requirements for the Arsenal game.

If the seats are too narrow I meant, then you can't have social distancing- the one seat gap between two seats are too narrow. Also, the entrances and exits being old design are likely to be narrow for safe distancing.

[CapitalGreen]

Definitely 2m distancing, and if the seats are narrow then it's just more seats between people. HOWEVER as for the main stand at Pittodrie, it's not available for fans because of the use by teams and officials.

I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a slight heads up from Hibs, especially for those of us who have to arrange travel/swap shifts etc. The council may be mainly to blame for the late decision, though they may be double checking with the Scottish Government as to what is acceptable, but Hibs will have some idea now as to whether proof of testing etc will be required.

Everybody’s circumstances differ I suppose but it’s not been great so far and we are only one home friendly in.

Cue a stampede if it turns out that’s a requirement.

You said you're quite relaxed about not knowing the situation but the fact is that you have no plans to go anyway, so it's quite easy to be relaxed about something that has no effect on you whatsoever.

It's impossible for me to miss a point that I made, which was that in general, when I have no control over a situation, I don't get worked up about it - I just wait and see what happens.

I was simply giving my opinion, although it's obviously not welcomed by some.

I tried to explain to you why it's got nothing to do with it not being welcome but, by past experience, I'm not sure that anything I write/say will convince you otherwise so I'll just leave you to it.

Your opinion is welcome and don’t get huffy - it’s a bit like me having an opinion on the next French truck drivers blockade. It might make a lot of folk late for their work but I’m easily relaxed about it.

I have a different outlook on this than other people but I haven't really disagreed with anyone.

I just don't understand people lining up to have a dig.

It won't stop me sleeping though.

Stop it you thrive on it. Your outlook is great, it’s welcome, it’s lovely. Vibrant and relentless. Makes me all warm and fuzzy. I don’t disagree with it much.
On this one though it’s not at all relevant as it does not affect you in any way at all.

[jeffers]

Apologies if it’s been covered already but will this be available on Hibs TV ?

[h1bs4life]

Why the #### is it taking so long for Edinburgh council to let Hibs know how many fans they will be allowed . What’s so different between Glasgow , Aberdeen and the so called councillors we have .
I had a COVID test about 2 weeks ago and picked a couple of boxes of lateral flow tests at the testing centre.
You can get them at most chemists , if you are hoping to go to the game would try and get a test kit just in case it will be the same rules as Aberdeen . Each box contains 7 tests.
As someone said earlier they are a waste of time as they depend on you putting in test result.
Each test kit in each box has its own barcode which is how you register result , if you have a barcode then you can register a result.

I'm not sure if a test will be required, as far as I'm aware Celtic haven't said anything about a test being necessary for their game on Tuesday night, they just say it's "strongly recommended".

For some reason Aberdeen have told their fans that a negative test is required to get into their match on Thursday so who knows.

A 2 times table test seems more apt there.

[jgl07]

I wonder how the security staff are going to be trained to spot a genuine test result or vaccine id.

In Scotland certificates were not issued when vaccines were given. I managed to get a certificate from the NHS due to inside knowledge as my wife is on an NHS committee and knew who to ask.

This is likely to be a complete disaster of there is any insistence on certification to get into the match.

Can get certificates fairly easily through nhs website, needed for holidays etc. Issue now is it’s too late to get one for Thursday, so there’s no chance that’ll be a stipulation.

I wondered about that. I've been double jabbed with no certificate or paperwork verifying it. I assumed you had to contact someone in authority to be issued proof of vaccination.

I flagged up the vaccination site yesterday and the letters are reasonably quick, so anyone in doubt should sign up this evening. As Iggy Pope said, there's no reason not to.


My conformation letter arrived within a few days. So if you’re quick you might get it before Thursday !

[gbhibby]

You can get it on your phone. I am sure I read one event was happy if you showed that and had photo I'd.

[Pretty Boy]

I expect I'm in a small minority but I really couldn't care less about attending the game on Thursday.

A last minute first come first served rush or some kind of ballot, designated arrival times, told to stay in your seat for 90 minutes, a sparse crowd spread out across 2 or 3 stands at best, taking an additional test to get in, stewards taking bottles of water of bairns etc etc. I'd rather not bother quite frankly.

I know we are getting to see Hibs so I should be obligated to get all flowery in language about it but it's all more bother than it's worth right now. When the league starts I might be more inclined to jump through hoops. Until then I'll leave my space for someone who will appreciate it.

That’s how I felt but decided to go to the Raith game snd I thought it was brilliant to be back. Enjoyed it far more than I was expecting to.

Desperate to go to the game on Thursday now.

[hibbysam]

Yeah you can, I just can’t see at this short notice it being a stipulation. Crowds are allowed in regardless of vaccination status so would expect it to be as stress free as possible, no tests, no certificate etc.

[CockneyRebel]

I wondered about that. I've been double jabbed with no certificate or paperwork verifying it. I assumed you had to contact someone in authority to be issued proof of vaccination.


I registered on the NHS (Scotland) site this afternoon and printed out my details page which states the dates of both my vaccinations and giving me a number 1 status. The only stumbling block is that you need one of the two appointment letters which contains your unique username (i.e. david.br005).

[Iggy Pope]

I'm also part of this small minority. I completely agree with you, I can't really get excited about going to the football with the current rules in place.

I have bought a season ticket so I will make use of it as and when I'm able to but I doubt I will be busting a gut to buy tickets for many cup games or away games any time soon.

Same for me. Been in the huff where Hibs are concerned, since last season ended the way it did, but really enjoyed being back at a game on Friday.

The lateral flow tests are a waste of space, that’s why. I wouldn’t be expected to take one to go to the shops, or a restaurant/pub, or basically any other place where I will be meeting other people. Testing negative on a lateral flow test has absolutely no bearing on whether you are negative or not as has been proven time after time.

[Iggy Pope]

I was just glad to be at ER v Arsenal. Didn’t get poetic, didn’t take any tests, enjoyed the night seeing a game with a mate that I’ve did this with for nearly 50 years, and moved out my seat more than once in the 90mins to toilets that were cleaner than normal.
It’s not that different, nothing heavy handed and heard no complaints from anyone. It’s just very quiet.

Are you meant to keep your your mask on whilst seated ?

It's more the fact that for some games it's a requirement and for others it's just a recommendation that I'm not quite getting my head around.

[bingo70]

Nobody did at the Raith game.

[Sir David Gray]

That's what Hibs said in their pre-match notes but apparently a lot of people took theirs off when in their seat and the stewards weren't bothered.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Silverstone today 140,000 people attending.


Just saying.

....and the Covid rate now twice that in Scotland and heading further north with the PM, Chancellor and Health Secretary all in isolation. Just saying like.

A lot of people will be doing the same on Thursday night i’m sure.

Takes 48hrs but they set your expectations low by telling you to allow 14days

Their rules where to wear a mask when you left your seat, other than that you didn’t have to wear one

Yes another mass spreader event after the Euro one. UK now has the most new daily cases of any country in the world.

It’s best to. Doesn’t stop you moving about though. That would be insane.

[Sir David Gray]

There seems to be different rules for different clubs with regards to the wearing of face coverings.

Aberdeen's already said that face coverings are required at all times whilst in the stadium for Thursday's match.

[Iggy Pope]

Takes 48hrs but they set yoor expectations luw bh telling you to alliw 14days

48 hrs in the current post system? Away. Am I sounding like a hun again :greengrin

I’d be surprised if the rules were more relaxed than they were for the Arsenal game. Especially with a bigger crowd likely.

I clicked on the send me my certificate button on the app on the bus coming home from the second jag, it did pop through the post within 3 or 4 days. That was several weeks back.

[jonny]

I ordered mine at about mid-day on Tuesday and it arrived in Wednesday's post.
Not saying it'll be that quick for everyone but probably within a couple of days. If you order on Monday I'd be surprised if you didn't have it by Thursday mate.

[GreenCastle]

Yes another mass spreader event after the Euro one. UK now has the most new daily cases of any country in the world.

The cases are going after the Scotland Euros peak.

England will go high this week and couple weeks after due to the Euros and the final also.

If folk don’t feel comfortable attending ER I understand that but let those who want to attend go and enjoy it. It’s outdoors…the risks are very low being outdoors and fans will be spread out in a a large area.

Wimbledon / Wembley / Silverstone / Open golf etc…people are getting back to normal with these events - Scotland is being very cautious but with many now vaccinated we should continue to move forward.

[hibbysam]

Yes another mass spreader event after the Euro one. UK now has the most new daily cases of any country in the world.

That’s because we are testing far more than any other country in Europe.

[Stairway 2 7]

English stadiums at full capacity from today

Same here, but for the Arsenal game.

I took two teenage nephews to the game and it was great just to get back, even with the limitations.

I also snuck in a bottle of water, so that definitely helped on a warm day.

[Hibby70]

So today's the day we find out. I'm going for 6,200 capacity with proof of vaccination or lft result for over 12's (neither of which will actually be checked).

[GreenCastle]

So today's the day we find out. I'm going for 6,200 capacity with proof of vaccination or lft result for over 12's (neither of which will actually be checked).

Will be the same capacity as Aberdeen.

Will the greenest club in Scotland want printing out 6,000 vaccination letters to happen with the risk they won’t arrive by Thursday ? Surely a screen shot of website will do - and like you say won’t be properly checked.

Will the full East stand be open this game ? I hope they open all areas of the stadium and have Hibs fans on all 4 sides.

[04Sauzee]

Test event last week with 2k supporters went well, we should be able to get 8k and think that's what will be agreed.

[Mikey]

So the Council starts work at 10am, have a 20 minute break at 10.30am for Popmaster, elevenses at erm.... 11am :greengrin , lunch from 12 - 2, spend an hour trying to evict a wasp from the office, afternoon tea break then prepare for going home.

Will they fit in a decision today?

You can order a hard copy of your vaccine certificate or take a screenshot on your phone.

You will need your unique code that is on your 2nd vaccination letter.
