An Indian variant of Covid has resulted in clusters well in excess of recommended limits and the variant is so new that its still unknown if the AstraZeneca vaccine can cope with it. Pfizer and Moderna seemingly can.

12,000 sounds ridiculous and I hope the SFA has a standby get out clause and I say that as someone with tickets for all Hampden matches.

Watch this space. It’ll go ahead with 12,000.

If I was the club I’d certainly be asking the SFA if they’ve pushed back on it or why they’ve accepted such a little amount

Leitch slavers nonsense at times when he’s talking about football.

On ‘Off The Ball’ a couple of weeks ago he suggested that although crowds at the start of next season may be limited it could allow for away fans to attend. On that basis some ST holders might not be able to attend games at ER to allow for some away fans to attend. That would go down well!

I think he tries to say what he thinks folk want to hear.

The main issue is numbers have been flying around at higher amounts so now it is so low everyone is annoyed.

They should have kept it out of the press and announced it when approved and they would have got a better reception as zero to 300.

That's the Glasgow bubble thinking right here.

"600 suits them btw. Plenty."

"We here in the megabubbleness world would never have that!"

"Anyways big celebration coming this weekend. Get yer Buckie in now!, stocks is running low. Then the Euros an that. The peepul must be appeased eh big man."

I just laugh anytime at the statement he makes now.

Good for you. But to be honest, what chance do you think you had of being at the final?

Ridiculous amount to end up at, why bother. I’d also not be surprised if nobody ends up in and Glasgow ends up in level 3 at the time which I assume would mean there couldn’t be any fans.

It is undoubtedly a disappointingly low number, however, I couldn't care less. I just want to see the team with the Cup in hand at the end of the match.

Zero but my point was more fans should have been allowed.

No traveling into or out of Glasgow is on the cards next week meaning the dispensation to allow 600 is a major concession. The South side of that coity has seen a 33% uplift in cases in the last few day. Guess which side of Glasgow Hampden is on.

Get away!!! Too bloody sensible 😁

When talking about cases rising he was right, the issue is they’re now using that as a stick to beat people with again. It’s a sin on businesses now who get promised the world and then slapped back down to earth almost weekly now. Never heard a thing about variants for the whole campaign trail, now that’s done they’re out in force again.

I agree he’s a slavering arse though. Sick of his voice now.

I can't listen to Off The Ball now that he's on it almost every week.

His cringeworthy trying to be one of the lads patter coupled with what you say about him just saying what he thinks people want to hear is too much.

The one good thing is that even if you disagree with him, if you listen to him long enough he eventually says the opposite of what he said to start with so you end up agreeing.

How much of the stadium have UEFA allowed access to?

Out of that, how much will be allocated to football staff (that we've seen spread throughout the stands during matches).

How much will be press/media facilities?

Can we quote you on that one when 150 people are allowed into Easter Road next season?

Apart from anything else attending football matches is very much a thing of habit. Break that habit and many will not come back.

If restriction like this are kept until mid-May, what chance of allowing any more than nominal numbers in at the start of next season in July? That is just over two months away. Is much going to change in a few weeks?

All tickets should just be distributed in house by the club now. Football staffs nearest and dearest as well as all club employees would just about cover the allocation.
Saves a pile of trouble.

there are already tens of thousands at events, though.

And I said in time. Do you actually think in 5 years we'll still be restricted in crowds? I don't.

600 or 3000 what does it matter? Atmosphere in a 52,000 seater stadium would be crap. Wild horses couldn’t drag me to a token test event like this. Home or pub with the mates all day long. Really don’t get why people are getting so angry at authorities and governments, we’ve just had a whole season with no fans.

That’s utterly pathetic. 300 each ffs.

That’s so poor from the government. Really disappointed at that. Probably wouldn’t have got a ticket anyway but nonetheless

I would give them to the families of the players and coaching staff as well, there is no fair way of distributing them to the fans, this way would cause the least angst.

300 is ridiculous. Would love to be one of them though, to be honest. God knows how Hibs are going to distribute them, hard decisions to be made. 300 - what a nonsense from the government.

Waste of time. Give them to the players and staff.

People are angry because there will be 12,000 people inside Hampden just 3 weeks after the cup final.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

The guidance for events in level 2 says that 500 people can attend an outdoor event but that this can be increased in consultation with the council/Scottish Government.

I don't think anyone thought that the increase would simply be by 100.

It was a general statement which he made. He didn’t make that statement in the context of teams who have a proportionately large season ticket support which you have specifically raised. It would make sense in cases in grounds where home season ticket uptake is small.
From your personal views on Leitch I think you’re looking to be offended.

It’s the least they can reward fans, for a season of no football

There’s a lot of fantastic long term Hibs supporters out there, and I would be absolutely gutted for some of them, if all the tickets were given to staff and players families

Have to disagree. The club has a duty of care to the staff.

Yep it was leaked by some journalists the other day that talks were taking place to allow 1500-3000 to attend.

I expected it would be towards the bottom end of that scale but this is just a joke.

Until about 4 weeks ago, they still used Hampden!!!
