Why football with fans won't be coming for some time

How much would the SRU charge to hire it for the day ?
Not a dig at anybody btw just it might not be afordable

The SRU will rightly be prioritising Scotland, Edinburgh and Glasgow rugby games once live sport starts up again, so it's not just about cost.

There's a widespread panic that things are being released too early, so it will be interesting to see what that yields in terms of new cases in the coming weeks. If it leads to a spike as many predict, you (collective) can 100% kiss goodbye to any notion of sitting inside any stadium watching sport this calendar year.

No idea, but I think it would make sense to open discussions with them.

If it ends up being too expensive, or they just aren't interested, then fair enough, but there's no harm in exploring all possibilities.

I can read just fine but just crack on with you insults.

I question what I read or view before I place it on a public forum.

Just had a look at the recent attendances for the Glasgow Warriors games and they're actually too high to be played in their usual stadium(s)*, so you're probably right about the SRU moving them to Murrayfield, as a precaution.

Notice from the BBC that a Norwegian club put 2 large screens in their car park and had a drive in football match.
Maybe the likes of St Johnstone could do that at theirs. At least it would bring some income.

I do the same in order to form an opinion but if you did indeed read all of my post(s) you would see I did not offer any opinion(s) but simply passed on what I had seen on the tv to explain why some posters had taken (and been challenged for) a view that was different from your own.
After several ponderings during lockdown I still have no firm opinion regarding government decisions or the variety of stats as they seem to be interpreted by many according to their own existing politics/beliefs. I think it will be many years and several memoirs down the road before a reasonable picture can evolve.

Las Palmas hoping to play league match ( Spanish second division ) next week with 11000 crowd . Capacity is 33000 and 11000 number of season ticketholders . In same division , Oviedo wanting to play with 800 crowd . Might not be allowed among other reasons because other clubs in division saying it`s unfair on other clubs which can`t play home matches with crowd as still in lower phase of recovery .

Fans to wear masks and gloves and contact club day before match so that they`re given seat number and entrance gate to be used . One in three seats to be kept empty . Other clubs expected to do the same in final games of this season at end of this month or early July .

I hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm just curious.

Where is it you're located, specifically? Are there any regional differences currently regards the lockdown rules and regulations?

[supermcginn]

800 fans were allowed in serbia last night at the red star belgrade game.

Might be some scope for change.

Nicola Sturgeon seems very reluctant to change it up here any time I've heard her being asked about it.

I know, but if some hard evidence about distancing is found maybe she’ll “ follow the science “

Maybe not set in stone, but they all quote outdoors?
Since covered stadia, you then have to factor internal corridors to get to the seats and toilets.
Think back to the last time leaving a game, were you touching anyone or everyone leaving the stadium.
Just need to look at Parliment, had a vote to stop techno voting and they could not distance, then today one of the MP's may have covid-19, so with track and trace most could be out of action for 14 days???
I think reasoning of stopping crowds is for the benifit of everyone's health not just to stop sport!!!

Being pedantic, none of the stands have been up for 30 years.

[Hibeesmad]

I find it difficult to see how Hibs would go about allocating entrance to supporters if the government allowed 'small crowds' into stadiums, which calculated to being lower than the amount of season tickets sold. I'm sure other clubs such as Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen would also see this as an issue.

I was hopeful but the UK recovery seems to be slowing.

Nicola announced yesterday that Wednesday was the first time since 27th March that they have been in single figures for deaths. Still a bit away from overcoming the virus but we are on the right path in Scotland.
