Why can’t the mystery benefactor support them throughout their spell in the championship instead?

Exactly. Or stepped up to cover players wages when Budge 'encouraged' players in to taking a pay cut.

"Take a pay cut or your sacked" - joke of club.

So we'd have approx 25 queues instead of approx 5/6? You would have to have 1 queue for each entrance (5/6?) which would then split into however many turnstyles are open within each entrance - not nearly enough space for social distancing unless you have hunnerds of stewards, who would need to patrol the whole length of each queue (including those inside/outside the stadium and beyond) until everyone was in. You have to break it down fully to see how horrendous the logistics become if the full range of safety precautions are applied to the whole exercise even with a restricted attendance.

They put fences up outside supermarkets to do that. I'm sure they could manage the same at football.

It's really not that complicated, just needs a bit of thought and preparation.

But 20,000 people are not trying to enter in a short space of time.

Yes I think your right, all the social distancing requirements will need to be thought out on top of things like fire safety etc.

I think something like staggered arrival times should be given some thought. Who knows what it will look like when we get back to big events. Definetly queues and a lot of waiting I'd imagine.

I think by the time we get back to watching football social distancing will have been reduced to 1 metre.

My apologies to all those with fag packets and calculators ;-)

I agree. I think we are the only country using 2 metres anyway.

It's been 2 metres here all the time and doesn't look like changing any time soon. Don't think any sports will be played here with fans in the stadiums this year, the NFL are planning to try but there's a huge lot of things that have to change quickly for that to happen. Just don't ask The Donald lol.

Staggered arrival times. Lol

Very difficult to get supporters arriving at a particular time as traffic, roadworks etc dictate.

It just won’t happen in practise and for evening or lunchtime matches most supporters are
struggling to arrive at KO on time as it is.

[Brunswickbill]

Nothing new. I’ve seen quite a few fans staggering on arrival before games.

It looks different in America because it looks like a large part of the population has not bought into the measures to control the virus. Here, almost everyone has (except the Tory govt) so I can see stadiums open with everyone observing the rules the same way they do with trips to Tesco and B&Q. It’s a pain but if it’s what it takes then we will do it.

I think people are and will be willing to change their behaviour in order to make it work.

And at the same time an email was winging its way to agents telling them Hear7s had money to spend on players.

Are you assuming everyone will be sober? People don't always act responsibly after a few drinks.

The death rate per million in Scotland is 2.5 times that of the USA. Mass gatherings are out for some time here especially with our population concentrated in the narrow central belt.

Almost half of our deaths in care homes so you can’t just look at the bottom line.

Hearts have offered to fund COVID-19 testing for other Scottish clubs should their reconstruction proposal be accepted, with their mystery benefactors committing their support for a further five years.

Now I'm not legal expert but this has to be Bribery or other longer legal words .

Where did this info come from? Pretty significant if verified surely.
Maybe rather than run for the hills licking their wounds the benefactors see an opportunity to invest at a time of crisis and help set Hearts apart from competition. If so you’d have to think they’ll seek reassurance on how next tranche of their Investment will be spent.

It's all to do with where each country is in the upward and downward curves of the virus numbers.

Plus, I don't see where you're getting the 2.5 times figure from.

The latest numbers from the Scottish Govt is 2,304. For your figure to be correct, it would have to have been around the 4,000 mark.

Stats are always subject to interpretation ,as you indicate,filipino hibs is either way off in his calulations or comparing apples and oranges due to say timelines,or reporting (in)accuracy.

US population 328.8m and 100,000 dead as at today. 304 dead per million.
Scotland around 4,000 as NRS figures 4 days old. Population 5.45m so death rate 734 per million.

We already have staggered departure times and there's still queues to get out.

There are always lots of people around to say why something can’t be done. Thankfully the club will not be entertaining this thinking and will be trying to figure out how it can be done. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I really like the Ayr owner


The Championship could see it’s schedule cut in half with just 18 matches being played from January if the proposal is voted down, but Cameron will go along with that on the basis that Ayr are a Championship club.
“I don’t want to be involved in that either,”*he told the Times.. “But I’m a Championship club so I have to abide by that. Hearts are a Championship club. They should abide by that. Just because they are better than the rest of us doesn’t mean that they get special rules. They are bigger than Livingston. They are bigger than St Johnstone. They are bigger than Hamilton. Well, guess what? They finished in last place.”
