    Unfortunately that’s not what she said, 5000 outdoors for events any more the organisers must apply to council.

    That's wrong.

    You need permission if you want to hold an outdoor event with more than 5,000 people and 2,000 people for an indoor event.

    From what I've seen on updates of the briefing this isn't the case. It said any outdoor events greater than 5000 requires approval. No doubt we'll get our usual - a fraction of what we've asked for, decided a day or two before the match.

    I’m looking forward to November’s “beyond beyond level 0” update where clubs with more than 3 vowels in their names can get 71% capacity on every third Tuesday of the month.

    Could it be full capacity if we ask for it? Outdoor events cover a lot of different things. Hopefully not up to the council.

    That makes as much sense as the government’s regulations!
    Total nonsense, again!

    Doesn't make any sense. You could have a 6000 capacity stadium with 5000 folk in it. But no doubt our 20k+ stadium will be limited to 7,500 or something.

    Should have been based on a % of seating capacity if anything.

    Whilst not wanting to sound a pedant you can actually have a 5000 capacity with 5000 in it - but yes I agree it's all absolute bollox

    Yep. A 5000 capacity stadium can have a sell out crowd whilst we still have to apply for more.

    Makes no sense whatsoever. Had high hopes for today that the government would take some lead and let football get closer to normality. Hibs (and Hearts) need to be prepared to fight the council and ask for reasons if they play silly buggers and keep capacity at such a low level. Annoyed at the government and preparing to be annoyed at the council when they try and shaft us again.

    Managing this was easy for Hibs & Hearts last season when every ST holder was locked out.

    This could be real headache for clubs while capacity is less than the number of paying ST holders. They might not fancy the fights with the Council but it could be a lot easier than fighting with thousands of disappointed fans !

    There's no logic in any of this. There were hundreds of Hibs fans gathered in a tight group in the lower stand at Motherwell on Sat, very few facemarks, singing and chanting. No comment made in the media. No criticism by politicians or councillors. No threat to close Motherwell's ground down. Didn't see stewards trying to break the group up. No announcements over the tannoy.

    Sturgeon and councils are just playing politics.

    An absolute ****ing disgrace. So at a ground with 5,000 capacity it can be 100% full no questions asked (and therefore no social distancing), but a 20,000 ground needs permission to get anything above 25%. Make that make sense. Technocratic ****bags, I ****ing hate them

    I can't see the capacity being lowered from the recent weeks

    I'd be quite surprised if it's not greatly increased

    Infact arnt rangers getting 1/2 there stadium next week?

    That's already massively above what's "allowed"

    They should be getting their full stadium next week surely.

    I hate this idea we’re meant to be grateful for whatever pitiful scraps the council throw our way.

    Protest idea: All clubs with supports of over 5000 allocate that capacity in entirely one stand for the League Cup games next weekend, no distancing whatsoever, no masks, just 5000 standing right next to each other (as is now allowed). Then make sure they’re placed in the East, FF or Dunbar End and get the TV cameras as to show it and highlight the ****ing nonsense these rules are. 15,000 empty seats everywhere else in the stadium, 5000 all tightly packed together as is permitted
