Gathering Outside Easter Road For The Derby

[Mikey]

If the game goes ahead on the 3rd I wonder if we can arrange a gathering to support the team from outside the ground. A couple of hundred people and a drummer would be heard easily enough.

The problem of course is that anyone attending wouldn't be able to see the game at all.

Bring your own cheese and wine.

Will be watching it in a rammed pub and then up to the nightclubs later on, because these choices are virtually risk free compared to going to a game.

[madjock9]

Was there not something about personal weddings still being unrestricted. So how about someone (sadly already married) move their wedding to Easter Road Stadium and have a few (20 thousand or so)friends for a small party. I can also recommend the supporting bands of 22 people (players) join in to kick around the cake (ball) for about 90 minutes or so with a small break half way through for some light refreshments. Then we can all make one big toast and be on your way home.

Just a thought.....

Nobody mention the PARTY word.....

Sounds like the pubs will be doing table service only?

Table service only until everyone gets pissed and starts mixing around the tables, on their way to the toilets, on their way for a fag etc etc.

I think a lot of pubs will consider mothballing until the table service only lifts.

Not so bad for the big boys, although even they will struggle, but for some smaller estates the cost of additional staff, cleaning materials etc won't be offset by takings in January and February. It would cost money to open. Easier just to close the doors and hope to ride it out. If they get opened again by April they might be OK.

Yes. I would join you for that.

Now finished with Sturgeons nannying and think it’s time to live again.

Name the time and tell me what cheeses to bring. I will also bring some grapes and oatcakes.

And how do staff continue to get paid during this?

Should they just send IOU's to pay their bills?

They don’t at this moment in time

They won't get paid.

That's where we are though. No furlough, keeping business open but severely restricting their trade and telling people not to go to them has consequences.

It happened during the last '2 week circuit breaker' that lasted about 5 months. Loads of pubs just didn't bother opening until it was financially viable to do so, the difference that time was the staff had a safety net.

And without getting into politics Steven, it’s not in Scotland’s hands

I'm very much aware of it as me and others are in that boat where we work.

The potential for us having no income very soon is a very real prospect and I'm furious that we are being shafted.

[Steven79]

I'm very much aware of this but even now people can't see that running a country the way Scotland is being run simply dosen't work.

What will it take for some?

[Inconsequential]

Yes. I would join you for that.

You can pass the virus to someone else without knowing perhaps to someone with existing health concerns but you carry on, enjoy yourself. May I suggest No.10? Brilliant parties there.

[LunasBoots]

Stand outside the pub, head round to the gates, count me in.

It's horrible and I feel so much for people impacted. I've seen and heard about it 1st hand and it never gets easier to listen to.

It's why I really wish people would pause before criticising people getting upset and angry with announcements like today. It's a hugely anxious time for so many people with livelihoods literally on the line again and no sign of an end point. The whole drip feeding and leaking of information about new restrictions just adds to that.

That could happen between now and the day I keel over, should we live under constant restrictions? It isn’t going away so that’s the choice. We were told we would live with it but that’s certainly not appearing to happen seeing as they **** themselves every time a new variant appears.

I'm in, tired of this guff now, we have lives to live

[The dalmeny]

Other parties to have a half decent manifesto?

With good reason in this case unfortunately. It's a pause to allow the boosters to get further down the tracks, they need to do something and at least they haven't shut the whole place down again.

[Frazerbob]

Yes. I would join you for that.

Is it Sturgeon’s nannying that’s closed pubs at 8pm in Ireland? Or forced pubs in Wales to go table service only and sports behind closed doors? What about the full lockdown in The Netherlands, is that down to Sturgeon too? Have a word with yourself man.

[hibbysam]

And then a new variant happens next year and we need another booster so we go back into restrictions - and so on and so forth.

A few laptops and mobile phones with sky go on them will do the trick,only problem will be the time lag.

The 8pm thing here is a sham. Government only did it so they don’t have to pay pup to workers in that sector as it hasn’t been shut down. I live in a village that has a huge % of locals working in hospitality. Really feel for them.

[H18 SFR]

Heading to Ireland Thursday morning. The hotels are doing cheap rooms so you can drink past 8pm in the residents bar. We’ve booked with my in-laws for a night out with a live band. No intention of staying in the room. It was only €40.

[Leith Green]

I honestly think this is starting to become madness. Games of football etc are Super spreader events apparently .. As a father of a few kids , its pretty clear to me that schools are the super spreaders. How long are we going to keep having our freedom restricted? There could be a new varient every bloody few months

Well said Leith Green we have to learn to live with this

I would bet anything that football would be way down the list...

Time to be responsible and grow up. There are some incredibly stupid people in this world who are only prolonging the pandemic and with it all the restrictions that go with it.

Exactly. How many vaccines will we need to take? The most vulnerable are protected, hospitals admissions haven’t really increased but now it’s shortages of staff and crisis because of the isolation rules.

The economy is crumbling, we need to learn to live with and manage this virus. What’s the alternative?

There should be as many people as possible gathering at the stadium for home games. We need to show that we won’t accept this pish any longer, we’re coming up for 2 years of restrictions on our lives with no end in sight.

No chance of that. The man children don't have the mental stamina for it. Spoiled wee boys and girls. You can see the clowns on here who just repeat the same anti science guff that US evangelicals spew out via their media channels. They want to live in a magical world where you just ignore the virus and sod the cost to others as I'm alright.
