Hibs and herts must DEMAND full capacity from next week .
If not given both set of fans should organise a mass protest outside Edinburgh councils head office .

You like headlines but not reading.
It's an irrelevant announcement.
Full capacity at Ibrox is SUBJECT TO AUTHOURISATION BY THEIR CLOWNCIL
so basically the same as Hibs and Hearts but different clowncil.
The clowncil call the shots on this not Rangers.

I agree our allowable crowd for tonight and Saturday is unacceptably low compared to what Rangers were allowed last weekend and I don't understand why we are only using 2 stands if crowd density is the main covid issue for the council.

It is a unilateral statement made by Rangers.
No comment from the council whatsoever.
If it is subject to fans wearing masks at all times, not singing etc it will quickly bite the dust.
Think it is just another example of The Rangers trying to exert undue pressure on the authorities to get what they want.

I suspect the '2 stands' thing is on Hibs. Certainly Ann Budge's explanation of the crowd for their games suggested the council calculated the crowd size on the basis of everyone being one seat apart both to the left and right and forward and back. Cutting it down to 2 stands is likely just Hibs bucking the spirit of the rules to cut costs...

Next week is too late for Hibs and we don't have our next home league game until the 28th.
We should be going back to our council with an appeal re Sundays game which is 9 hours before the changes.
An increase of 4,000 supporters predominately accommodated in the currently empty North and South stands would allow all season ticket holders to attend.

Hibs are getting told how big a crowd they can have and are able to fit everyone in to 2 stands following the current distancing rules. Better for the atmosphere and shows the council how stupid it is that we’ve not been allowed more

Hibs should be pushing for ALL season tickets to be able to attend on Sunday. Its a matter of hours before full capacities are being allowed.

I posted the same on the other thread, apologies for duplication. We don't know Edinburgh City Council haven't granted Hibs the same. The key part was "....subject to conditions prescribed by the Safety Advisory Group of Glasgow City Council."

Just imagine if Hibs had tweeted the same then failed to meet those safety conditions, the fans would have been enraged at Hibs for getting their hopes up then failing to meet the conditions.

The difference between ourselves (and other clubs) and the Old Firm is if Rangers or Celtic fail to meet the conditions laid out by GCC they will just claim they're being discriminated against and their fans will lap it up. Just look at the sponsorship saga going on right now. Forever trying to bully authorities until they get their way.

Some things to look out for to get stadia up to full capacity;

- Stewarding and messages enforcing face coverings in enclosed areas
- Staggered arrivals
- Contactless payment
- Promoting Protect Scotland app
- Enhanced cleaning contact points/surfaces
- Gathering contact details

Easy, no sales on the gate, staggered times are already in place, stick a message on the website about the app and the code on the door, contact details taken when purchase is made already so all good. Hire a few extra cleaners. Simple! Good to go.

Many fans on here said no full stadiums for a while but here we are next week with full stadiums in Scotland. Brilliant to see and long over due but Hibs and Hearts need to get confirmation out we are getting full use of the stadium.

This European game and Ross County has been a mess - least Rangers have been clear early what’s being allowed.

You have to wonder what the COVID numbers will be like in a few weeks time. Let's hope things don't rapidly deteriorate in regards to hospital admissions and deaths. The vaccination programme should prove crucial in saving lives, but there has to be a high probability of many more cases as everything re-opens. I wouldn't want to be amongst a crowd of fifty or sixty thousand just now.

Wouldn’t this be the case though no matter how long we were in lockdown/restrictions lasted? Numbers are always going to rise when things open back up fully but hospital admissions and deaths don’t correlate to the number of positive tests anymore thanks to the vaccine.

I wouldn’t describe that as “good to go”. Preventing sales on the gate/walk ups will have a significant impact on our revenues and a measure that will have little impact on preventing Covid spread. From Monday there is no requirement to prebook entry to nightclubs etc, people can just turn up and get in as long as there is capacity, we shouldn’t have that restriction of trade placed on us.

Most things have opened up.

Sitting outdoors will be minimal risk of covid.

Thing is it doesn’t matter if its 5,000 or 50,000. You are only coming close to a few people during the match. The rest of the thousands aren’t anywhere near you. Walking to the match etc - just like a normal day walking on street.

Scotland has a really good vaccination rate - we need to move forward and I’m delighted stadiums will be full again.

Not sure if you have been back to any games but honestly you will feel safe.

Whether 60k or 6k, your still likely to only come across a few people within close contact. You still sit beside the same number of people. Not sure it would really be more dangerous to an individual.

You will generally be seated in close proximity to 8 others, think of it as you are in the middle of a 3x3 square. If the middle person has covid then that is 8 others, 1 seat away, that could become infected. they go home, each meet 5 family members, that's a potential 40 people that could be infected because one asymptomatic person went to the football.

That is a simple example, and with the rate of vaccination, the spread wouldn't be quite as dramatic, but the risk is still there.

That is a simple example, and with the rate of vaccination, the spread wouldn't be quite as dramatic, but the risk is still there.

My point was more in response to a single person not feeling safe though. I know it would lead to a bigger spread overall, but to a single person whether 6k or 60k they’d still be surrounded in close proximity to your ‘8 people’ for arguments sake.

[/B]No, I haven't. I haven't even been to a pub or restaurant in 18 months, but I'm getting ready to re-enter the public domain and Easter Road. I just had to buy mine in green:

I would feel more at risk in a restaurant than Easter Road. Being outdoors definitely helps.

Hopefully you get back to the stadium soon - it’s a magic feeling !!

Which is exactly why we won't be allowed a full capacity. Thats clear cut mate.


I struggle to see why people cant see that - as you say, its rather obvious.

You will generally be seated in close proximity to 8 others, think of it as you are in the middle of a 3x3 square. If the middle person has covid then that is 8 others, 1 seat away, that could become infected. they go home, each meet 5 family members, that's a potential 40 people that could be infected because one asymptomatic person went to the football.

That is a simple example, and with the rate of vaccination, the spread wouldn't be quite as dramatic, but the risk is still there.

Thanks for that summary Jason. I think I'll stay in the hoose for the next couple of years just to be safe.

Killie have brought closer to 1500 most of their recent games at ER

I highly doubt that, I can't remember the last time Killie brought more than 500 fans to ER, never mind 1500 ... their away support is generally poor.

I hope Hibs come out and post a statement about next weeks game against Killie being the same. Would boost supports knowing this is the last ballot.

Dundee given permission to have at least 5,000 fans for the Premier sports cup tie v Motherwell, a week tomorrow
Also giving a free voucher to season ticket holder fans, who didn’t get in last weekend for the 1st league game v St Mirren

Going to try and get some Motherwell fans in the main stand

Well done Dundee

Nope, it hasn’t, same for the Scottish Government. There should be no restrictions on crowds whatsoever, and they’ve had to back down and give blanket permission for full stadiums despite their own nonsensical 5k limit. Fantastic to see, let’s hope fans can continue to unite and fight against the authorities, be that governments, councils, Police Scotland, all of whom hold an institutional suspicion/hatred for Scotland’s game and most of all the young working class who follow their team across the country
