Still waiting for boards across Scotland to show some backbone and tell the authorities they want full crowds from July the 31st, as will be probably be the case down south and certainly will be across most of Europe

Reading Edinburgh city are going to play their home games on a Friday night, hope to get more fans in
Might take them up on that offer, quite a few Hibees in their squad

I'm surprised that they're allowed to do this. Given the number of part-time teams in the league that has to be pretty inconvenient for the visiting sides.

Do clubs have the ability to move fixtures like that?

Looks like we're away to both Celgers twice before the split?

Correction, only Rangers, Aberdeen and Hearts twice before the split.

Agreed with the league. Great idea. Should improve attendance for them.

I wonder if part time teams ever have any bother getting teams together for midweek evening games? Guys unable to get down from Elgin after work for example.

If they do then I wonder if that’s came into ECs thinking..

The article in the EEN is sketchy but says that the other teams in the league approve.

I would have thought it far from ideal for the likes of Stranraer or Elgin. Even if their guys can get off work in time, they're surely going to be less well prepared than for a 3.00pm kick-off on a Saturday.

It will only affect other teams twice a season. Not forgetting a lot of players are maybe working closer to Edinburgh than their home club is.

BBC has two game against Celtic and one against The Rangers before the split. It's always an even split versus the Old Firm, every non-Old Firm team always play one twice at home and the other once.

Other teams may only be affected twice per season, but Edinburgh City will be gaining that wee advantage time and time again.

Is that not what home advantage is supposed to do? 😉

Is it any different from the clubs who have plastic pitches?

When’s the last time we had a derby on 1st or 2nd of Jan? 2014?

Aye 2 Jan 2014, 2-1 win at ER. A false dawn if ever there was one.

Chances of away fans at Tynecastle in September?

Absolutely none.

I’d imagine there’ll be no away fans at games like that until all restrictions are lifted.

Not a chance. We’ve got St Johnstone in game 7

You'd like to think 16-18 points is possible after 6 games.
