Hibs have already said it would not be cost effective.

I think they gave a number for it to be cost effective, i don't think the door was ever closed on the idea

**Wakeyhibee** · 20-08-2020 04:00 PM

Just seen the announcement and whilst itll be a long road back for the bigger clubs, it's hopefully great news for the smaller clubs who could get their normal home gate and easily stay socially distanced.

They may even get a boost in crowds as folk will watch live football regardless if its their team.

Yes you’re right, would need15000-20000 for it to be considered as financially viable

So football will return with fans THIS year ?

Never in doubt. Mind there was suggestions it might not be 2021/22/23 etc on here. This news has made me so happy today, spring in my step all afternoon.

Hopefully, yes. It's still not a confirmed date.

***AltheHibby*** · 20-08-2020 05:01 PM

For the benefit of any Hearts fans looking in, how many are allowed in Tinycastle in September?

With a tiny/small proportion of fans. Something even approaching the full match experience remains miles off.

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

Where are you hearing that about? I’ve not seen any figures quoted yet.

No figure mentioned on here, however Cormack does go off on one now and again

I still have my doubts we’ll have crowds back anytime soon.

Would season ticket holders be happy with having to wear a mask and having hand sanitizer stations outside each stand before you enter just to get every season ticket holder in?

To me 700 fans at murryfield for a test run is not getting Hope's up of fans back soon maybe 7,000 would of.

But fans will be back THIS year

I’d personally drink the stuff in order to get in.

Would you inject it into your lungs?

***Bishop Hibee*** · 20-08-2020 07:56 PM

My old local team Bishop Auckland are playing in front of 150 fans.

Why would anyone object to that?

**~~calumhibee1~~** · 20-08-2020 09:02 PM

Wonder if this gives us a good chance of being at the cup semi? Surely could fit season ticket holders from both teams into Hampden and nobody else if required? Especially with all the Hearts fans boycotting.. could be looking at 15k or so in a 52k seater.

Localised flare ups have already happened across England and in Aberdeen, leading to localised lock downs. Other countries have seen sudden surges infections, even places like New Zealand. We will be heading into autumn in a month or so and the UK government is incompetent.

My gut tells me that we are a long way from returning to normal. Plenty of people in the live events industry are just writing off 2020 now.

**B.H.F.C** · 20-08-2020 09:53 PM

Celtic wanting permission to use their game against Motherwell, next Sunday, as a test event.

Spain, France, Germany and Italy all seeing case numbers at their highest level for 3 or 4 months as well.

I'd say after the planned changes that are due to come in from 14th September, we will have reached our limits on how much we can open back up again and any further easing beyond that will be dependent upon a vaccine being found.

We may even have to go backwards if things deteriorate during the winter. Hopefully not though.

They will hopefully be roundly advised to **** right off. Unless it’s a spelling tets of course.

Have to agree with this. Feels like we've reached a bit of a plateau in terms of easing of restrictions.

Having that many fans travel from Edinburgh to Glasgow with the increased risk that brings seems unlikely.
