Many months
Ross County manger S Kettlewell says Celtic will be intimidated by a couple of hundred Ross County fans in the ground on Saturday.
Hmmm.... I beg to differ!

I wonder if Hibs will do the same.
Would prefer it if we stick to Edinburgh and the surrounding area.Quote:

If we get past the point where it is considered a test event I’m not sure that there will be any kind of restriction on where the ticket holder needs to live, unless there are wider travel restrictions which apply to everyone.
Yes limiting the numbers to people who live within a certain distance from the stadium.Quote:

You're not talking about thousands of people coming into Edinburgh on trains and buses which may cause problems with crowds gathering on public transport.
It's a test event - it should be getting used to test the full event, which for me includes the before, during and after processes and that includes replicating (albeit on a much smaller scale) how people normally travel to and from the stadium.
100% agreeQuote:

3. Evaluate the results
4. Apply lessons on a larger population sample and re-run as per 2. above
5. Repeat stage 3
6. Launch pre-release batch to a larger but still restricted population and model expected results against a risk assessment
7. Re-evaluate outcomes against modelling.
8. Launch approved batch.
With a drug that can take years, with football crowds the timescales align to Covid reviews so expect each step to take 3 weeks and only to progress is gate criteria are met.
That still doesn't explain why people from outside the stadium's local area can't attend.Quote:

Some reasonable and expected measures in there - although I'm not sure why a mask is required for the full game if social distancing is in place and you can't talk to anyone or sing etc.
Reading that, take it its safe to say there will be no fans or a couple of thousand max at Hampden in 6-7 weeks time for the semi final?Quote:

Good luck stopping people shouting at the clowns we have as referees

Why should the person who stays locally be given priority over someone who doesn't? Is there some evidence backed reason contributing to this as a rule as per the BBC article?
It does. It is a controlled population. If there is an outbreak it is contained with in the community from which they are drawn and can be managed. Stop being obtuse and just accept there are people who know what they are doing who dont get their scientific advice from Shug from Shettleston and have a wider view than the narrow focus of a football supporter who is going cold turkeyQuote:

I'm sorry but it doesn't and despite your personal digs, which I'll rise above, it still doesn't explain why going to a football match is any different to any other activity.Quote:

People are allowed to go shopping or dining in Edinburgh this weekend regardless of where they are in the country. The social distancing inside a shop or restaurant will be nothing like it will be inside the football grounds this weekend. What if there's an outbreak in the shop or restaurant? The people affected in a restaurant should be contactable and told to isolate, although not sure about a shop.
The same would happen if there was an outbreak from the game although considering it's outside and people will be a considerable distance from others, I'd say it's much safer than an indoor environment like a shop or restaurant.
Everyone will get a chance to go to a game at some stage. If you get in 1st time, means you might not get back into Easter Rd, for another number of home gamesQuote:

If the Scottish Government really believed that outbreaks should be contained locally Glaswegians would be facing the same travel restrictions as Aberdeen did wouldn’t they?Quote:
