Restricted numbers

[H113EE5]

No wonder the Council restrict attendance. 3 or 4 times there have been announcements regarding the mandatory wearing of a face mask and still many of the idiots round me in the East stand just ignore it. Ggtrrrrrr

For sitting still outdoors spread apart all the evidence suggests its not required.

Until the rules change so it's not required we're best putting up with it and letting more of us back in as soon as possible.

I agree, the government will only need a tiny reason to slow down football getting back to normal, just explaining why I reckon it happens, it’s not an environment where anyone is going to feel particularly at risk anymore.

So you won't wear a mask, even if the law currently requires you to wear one. That might explain why there are still restrictions in the number of fans who can attend. 🙄

[Stairway 2 7]

I would say about 5% wearing masks in the third of the East I could see

[DH1875]

YES......a good old fashioned mask debate 😎

[Scooter]

Probably all exempt 👀

I have seen no more than a handful wearing masks both against Arsenal and tonight.

Masks are not needed with the distancing and being out of doors.

I wouldn’t bother to attend if I had to wear a mask as my glasses steam up Ian’s I would not be able to see anything.

[hibbysam]

See that big empty stand behind the goals that was empty for no reason, that’s where our ire should be aimed rather than at some for not wearing a mask. I was sitting one seat away from the next in my row, do I care l? No, has the government/council signed off on a plan lacking in social distancing? Yes.
So if they don’t care why should anyone else.

[Hibernianinc]

Jeez.

After near on 1&1/2 years of p1sh and folk still don’t get it.

Unless you’re a virologist and have ‘new news’ wear a mask ffs.

Loads round me not bothering. See what that does for our numbers allowed in next round.

I bet it will not make an iota of difference to Scottish Government/ Edinburgh Council decision making.

If they’re not needed in the royal box at a packed Wimbledon they’re no needed at a limited capacity Easter road.

I wore mine when entering the stadium, going to the toilet and leaving the stadium. I’ll certainly not be making any apologies for that.

Sitting over 2 hours outdoors with a mask on is too long.

[Gatecrasher]

The mask enforcement was pretty strict in the West where I was sitting, it didn't feel very socially distanced though. I do t know if that's me not being used to crowds after theast 18 months or there was more people around me than I was expecting. There was someone sitting right behind me for example.

This..

If they really cared about masks and social distancing then open the 2 stands behind each goals.

I felt more safe in fresh air at Easter Road than going to the supermarket / shops / bar.

To be fair most folk I saw wore masks in toilets / concourse etc.

Fans were singing / cheering / shouting and even were encouraged to make some noise over the tannoy!

It may not have felt socially distanced but it was a lot less of a risk than sitting in a pub that has 4 people at every table. Not saying you went to a busy pub, just putting it into perspective. The risk is tiny outside, mask or not.

Highly unlikely considering our stadium is 1/3 of theirs, however celtic are getting far more than the rugby - better comparison.

[BlackSheep]

What was annoying me was listening to folk announcing to their mates, “am no wearing a mask” but then putting it on to go to the toilet etc….!!

Just wear a mask at your seat!! It’s not hard!! It’s the least you can do!

The boy in front of me wasn’t wearing a mask and was coughing his lungs out….!

Hibs need to get better stewards in who have the authority to challenge folk!

Then why hasn’t football been treated the same?

Even had that tw@t Doncaster complaining about it.

Folk can bleat as much as they like about ‘no fair’ or ‘why no?’, but unless you’re a conspiracy theorist where it’s ‘aw lizards’ just follow the rules.

Really isn’t that hard.

Nope.

R rate was quite different then, far higher.

Rugby got better numbers at games than football did at that time because……

You fill in the blanks.

I felt pretty at risk with folk around coughing without masks on!!

I agree. A bit common sense / consideration is all it takes I wore mine entering and leaving and if anyone had to pass me in my row.

What does Ian think about that?

[GreenCastle]

The mask debates will be the new flag debates.

Will last for months maybe longer.

Folk will wear them - folk won’t.

Folk will continue to wear them when they don’t have to and others will stop wearing them.

Better get used to it.

Wearing a mask outdoors for over a couple of hours would be very uncomfortable and is a big ask.

As for you complaint about a boy not wearing a mask, kids under 11 don’t need to and quite rightly so.

If it helps out your mind at ease at all, Jason Leitch has consistently said it doesn’t spread outdoors much at all.

If you felt unsafe by a child coughing outdoors you probably shouldn’t have gone to the game and you probably shouldn’t go to a shop or leave you’re house at all for that matter. There’s never going to be 100% compliance with masks so you’re going to need to learn to live with it at some point.
