The groups will be the big thing. If there’s a lot of groups of 3 or 4 from the same household then that would allow more people in I’d think? Or do we reckon they’ll just cap attendances at a percentage of capacity?
Aberdeen have sold their season tickets on the basis that the first 7500 season ticket holders to buy one will get access to home games (poor sods) when we are allowed entry into grounds.

Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen is pushing season ticket sales by prioritising the first 7,500 customers in what it predicts will be its restricted capacity when fans are able to return to matches during the 2020-21 season.
The new season is scheduled to start on August 1, and the Dons believe that “positive progress” on the fight against COVID‐19 means there may now only be a few home games behind closed doors, and partial crowds could attend earlier than anticipated.
Aberdeen said it will be guided by Government and the footballing authorities, but predicting a one-metre social distancing rule it said it expects a reduced capacity of 7,500 will be in place at its 20,000-capacity Pittodrie stadium.
It will therefore prioritise the first 7,500 buyers when the stadium reopens, with a ‘first come, first served’ system in place when capacity is raised.
“With 6,700 season tickets already sold, there are only 800 remaining to make sure you can attend games with partial crowds,” the Dons said.
“Should capacity end up being below 7,500 then priority points will be used as the fairest way to determine who gets access.
Depends on the other criteria.
If we only use every second row, then allowing household groups to sit together would increase attendance. If every row is used, but with two/three empty seats either side of each person/group, then it wouldn't... because the seats directly in front of someone would have to be kept empty.
I think it won't matter too much initially anyway, as they'll probably only allow a very small percentage, say about 5% of capacity.
If non essential offices aren't being allowed to open for the foreseeable, I don't imagine we will be allowing 11k season ticket holders. I'm sure it will be very limited nunbers
SRU hoping for a test event with around 700 fans rattling around Murrayfield for the second Edinburgh v Glasgow match at the end of this month.
See how that goes and fingers crossed for no more urban spikes and players behaving themselves.
Why don't we just use murrayfield? 67k seater stadium 11k ST holders jobs a good un every paying customer can get there product
Can't see it being that bad if hearts managed to use it while the super stand got built, also it would be the government enforcing this and I'd think BT Murrayfield would like the media attention they'd get having there name beamed over sky nearly every 2nd week
Aberdeen said that as a marketing ploy to boost sales. 5k is the absolute max we(or Aberdeen) will be allowed in for a good while
