Boris yesterday was spouting about every fan to be tested and if negative then can be admitted to the stadium?
20,000 fans all to be tested so as they get permission to enter a stadium???
Wonder how long it will take at Man. Utd's Old Trafford?????

He meant proper tests.
It was hypothetical and required better testing methods but it was the "best case if no vaccine" approach he seemed to be looking at. It applied for theatres and sporting events, you test everyone the day before and then let people who were negative in without need to social distance.
It was part of a wider rhetoric of getting to a place where people without the virus can live their lives normally.
Playing devil's advocate here but what happens if your exempt from wearing a mask due to medical reasons?
I for one couldn't give a toss about wearing a mask id give a arm and leg to see hibs in the flesh
If you are exempt from wearing mask then surely you have an underlying respiratory complaint in which circumstances you have to ask what the blazes are you doing out in the first place. (Yes I know mask are primarily for other peoples protection but they also provide a limited amount of prote tion to the user.)
Looked hopeful for a time but no longer. A work colleague’s daughter in her early thirties tested positive with symptoms a couple of days ago. It’s on the up sadly.
I've pretty much thought like that from early lockdown and there are still too many spikes and too many new cases for any global/national optimism. I truly wanted to be proved wrong and branded a paranoid fanny - I could live with that - but being 74 I might not survive a Covid infection so can't see me spectating this season.
IMO too many folk, gagging for live matches/venues, are prepared to risk more than it's worth and pressure on the UK and Scottish governments could lead to more folk being put in harm's way. I understand and sympathise with the economic and employment issues but this won't go away without EVERYONE following the guidelines/restrictions and, shamefully, I see a-holes defying this every single day.
I see too many folks, normally teenagers (not always tho) not wearing masks in shops. Maybe we need to get back to the early days of lockdown where only a few people at a time are allowed entry into shops etc, this time though just the non mask wearers, it would help protect everyone.
Let's be honest the majority are just selfish scrotes, they'd be quick to start mask wearing rather than standing in a queue, at that point the genuine non wearers would be able to walk in right away as by that time there'd be no queues. Hope that makes sense!

I’ve got a pal in the construction industry.He was saying that youngsters are fine and take security issues seriously
His difficulties are with know it all experienced people who won’t pay attention.Strangely enough the absentee rate is much higher with them also.

Will grass roots football be affected by the new max 6 people from 2 households meeting outside rule. Not with regards the kids but coaches? Will only 2 coaches be able to take a session? Just wondering if boys /girls football will be back in cold storage?
Edit.. Just found out there is an exception for organised sport
I had hoped that season ticket holders might have got the chance to attend the Scottish Cup semi against Hearts but that doesn't look likely now.
I really have no interest in going back to the football in an environment as described in the documents earlier in the thread. I'd rather watch in my house with a beer and the freedom to shout and cheer as much as I want; that's infinitely preferable to sitting in isolated silence in a stadium that is 98% empty. I'm sure plenty others will gladly take my place but until the football experience resembles what it should then it's a no from me.
I'm resigned to not seeing a game in the flesh this season. It's pretty crap and financially devastating as selling next years STs could be a very hard sell, especially when the economic reality of lockdown starts to bite, but it is what it is.
If theres no shouting allowed, maybe we could all get one of these?

So the return has been delayed until at least October 1st, but the proposed test events are still going ahead this weekend?
