I think there's about forty* in total and they could surely open half of those and retain social distancing.
The punters could also help by arriving that bit earlier than usual (not a problem if the pubs are shut)
* Just checked online and there's fifty three.
My wife wouldn’t believe me if I was away that long plus another three hours travelQuote:

Yes if everyone had to sit individually, but like lord bunberry has said there would be groupings from the same house that could sit together.Quote:

More from @JamTarts Ann Budge on 14-14-14/14-14-16 reasoning: "The proposed changes, creating 3 bigger leagues, means that if, unfortunately, some Clubs cannot see a way to play this season, there will hopefully be sufficient Clubs in each League to allow the Season to go ahead. The Premiership needs Hearts more than the Championship does. The Championship needs @PartickThistle more than the lower Leagues do. Let’s focus on dealing with the problem of saving Scottish Football from a position which plays to our strengths and minimizes our weaknesses"
Just want to thank Anne Budge for completely destroying her whole plan in one sentence. “The premiership needs Hearts more than the championship does” mental.Quote:

A horrible club with horrible fans
Jambofox: The SPFL and lots of clubs are desperate to get Ann’s proposal ASAP so they can kick it out.
Ann just make them wait .... slowly clubs will die one by one and the remainder will be desperate for survival ...... just make them wait until they promise to vote yes and do it it the Hearts way - Gorgie Rules!
And if so many clubs die that Scottish football ceases to exist in its current format just walk away and find somewhere else to play! A club like Hearts will be a major asset to any league!
This is meant to be arrogant as the whole exercise is about engendering the sense of entitlement and subsequent victimhood required to create the siege mentality to get the dim supporters to pay for their crisis.Quote:

Gorgie Rules is the single most cringeworthy expression I know in football. That is even trying to be objective. Cringe, cringe, cringe.Quote:

The Premier league needs teams of a much higher quality than Hearts. And ideally ones that live within their means.
Yep, they toiled all season, overspending specifically to stay up and still couldn't get off the bottom, not good enough for the premier league on merit. They might have a right good go at improving enough in their championship season to be of sufficient quality to stay up next time they're in the top flight.Quote:

What a staggeringly stupid thing to put in a proposal to try and garner support for your grand plan. Clueless doesn't cover it.Quote:

There's a similar delusion on sevco fan sites. Clubs releasing players is a result of ending the season early then not supporting Rangers request for an investigation into the vote.
The occasional sensible post pointing out that financial problems are the result of a pandemic rather than SPFL procedures gets ignored or shouted down.
I just asked that elsewhere.Quote:

That is simply staggering in it's belligerence, self importance and lack of empathy. This person probably needs serious help to be re-integrated back into normal society.:greengrinQuote:

Very Cummings-esque. "Its all about me and I don't give a **** who can see through this bull****"
Hearts have offered to fund COVID-19 testing for other Scottish clubs should their reconstruction proposal be accepted, with their mystery benefactors committing their support for a further five years.
Now I'm not legal expert but this has to be Bribery or other longer legal words .

In all fairness, the Championship already has maroon pounds from having Arbroath in there.Quote:

You have to break it down fully to see how horrendous the logistics become if the full range of safety precautions are applied to the whole exercise even with a restricted attendance.
