What's the chances of fans going back in September?

I’m watching the Wycombe game and they’ve got fans in the stadium, it’s quite weird tbh.

My big mate is well chuffed, he's got his tickets to see the mighty Elgin on Saturday.

He’s a lucky person

Delighted for those fans that are back just now. Must be amazing for them.

That said, I still think I’ll wait until next season. I think I’d rather wait and enjoy the euphoria of a full Easter road than a sort of half baked return with loads of restrictions.

I might change my mind if I have the chance of getting back but for now I think I’d rather wait.

Brilliant there’s light at the end of the tunnel regardless of when I’ll actually get back though.

Nice to see fans returning.

How many are Elgin letting in G? I’ve not caught up with this.

Says "both regular and non-regular match goers".

Point is, would imagine the percentage of fans up here wanting back into games will be greater because we've (relatively speaking) smaller fanbases and greater percentages of them are used to regularly going to games.

Throwing 400,000 Hearts fans into the mix might skew the findings a bit...

300 he thinks, said they had 200 season ticket holders there last week. Oh, and he'll probably get a pint.

That’s probably the good thing about stopping people travelling it’s stopped the spread in small places like that it’s something that should never have been relaxed..

I have a friend who owns a care home, i'm caretaker for that care home and will be getting the vaccine as soon as the vaccine arrives at the home next week.

I should be allowed in to games before those who have not had it.

I’ve heard there’s been a sharp rise in the number of care home volunteers this week too

Aberdeens bid to have 1000 fans back in rejected again by SG.

You gotta laugh

They'd be better just punting bovrils and pies outside the ground.

It seems to be the same two teams who shout the loudest about the return of fans.

I'm comfortable that the SG have rejected Aberdeens bid. Wait yer time (and shave yer sheep).

Handy wee social club right enough. Went up for the LC game a couple of seasons back and the folk were great.

Hard to argue with any of that, I don't fancy their chances of changing anything though.

300 fans is just pathetic, nonsense numbers. Honestly, what does 300 fans being allowed in prove/achieve? Theres no reason clubs with big enough stadiums cant get at least 2000 fans in the ground with plenty distance between fans. Its becoming a joke now.

[Phil MaGlass]

I dont know why Aberdeen go on about this, the whole of Europe is under severe pressure, covid is spreading, theres over 61,000 dead in the UK, but lets make fans who havent been vaccinated back into stadiums a priority ?? The amount of live games that I have seen recently in European stadiums where there are fans allowed back and they dont keep their distance is just staggering.
Dutch football was a real eye opener, just what is wrong with people, after 9 months they just dont learn. People are dumb as ****.
Sorry, just ****off Aberdeen.

‘The whole of Europe is under severe pressure’ - yet somehow manage to allow fans back into stadia. Dress it up how you like, it’s pure stubbornness not to allow it, Leitch has said himself that there is very little risk transmission outdoors in a stadium. How many cases have come from stadia where fans are allowed across Europe? Your argument is nonsense, if they were that worried about the deaths and cases when making decisions they wouldn’t be allowing folks in cinemas to watch football, you wouldn’t be allowed in hospitality, shops etc. They’re finding ways of opening up far higher risk areas yet point blank refuse regarding football shows their discontent towards it.

Aberdeen deserve credit for continuing to push this. More clubs should be more vocal about it as well.

No other type of business would just sit back and accept that they aren’t allowed their customers in. Football clubs have a right to voice that as well, especially when they operate in a potentially safer environment.

[Phil MaGlass]

My argument really is not nonsense, the Dutch govt, then made a uturn and banned fans from going to games. Cases are on the up. They are now about to close shops earlier, all bars and restaurants will not open before xmas.

You do realise bars and restaurants are open eh? Shops won’t close. Cinemas are still open.

[Moulin Yarns]

The Scottish Government have guidance, and it is clearly stated that crowds will only be allowed in limited numbers in areas in levels 0 and 1. If Aberdeen, or anyone else, wants crowds in then they need to help get the message out there that the numbers need to come down to a level that the Government are comfortable with.
