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

Knockhill were given permission today to have fans at the British Touring cars next week but were told to limit them to 200!

As there’s no fair way to decide who gets in from the season ticket and regular ticket holders they’ve decided to run it without fans again.

Not looking good for football getting a decent number of fans in soon.

Should Hibs now be outlining how they intend to get ST holders back into the game.

I was railing against the SPFL not having processes in place. Hibs should be well on the way to defining how a limited amount of supporters will be allocated.

Obviously availability needs to be considered, then fairness of number of games.

I am also assuming no away fans for the time being. This should be clear to all fans.

Probably waiting to find out how limited that limited is. Not sure if there is anything they can comment on quite yet?

Wouldn’t expect any comment but would hope they are well down the route of planning for different levels of attendance.

The first thing they will need to do, IMO, is have something in place to find out who actually wants to attend when we only have room for X amount of season ticket holders. There will be a fair amount who don’t want to so it would be good if they were ahead of the game in understanding that type of thing.

Probably best keeping quiet in case Aberdeen try and sign our season ticket holders.

I’m an out of town fan (20 miles away) and get the feeling it will be residents of Edinburgh who are back in the stadium first.

[Glory Lurker]

There will be a crowd level that would allow Hibs to break even once all the additional arrangements are counted in. I've no idea what that attendance would be, but I wouldn't want Hibs to open the doors unless they're allowed to let at least that number in.

Compared to a football stadium it’s a huge area. There will be no problem with 200 people in there.

Thanks that's interesting that it's been limited to just 200 people then.

So am I and I have a similar fear.

I'm thinking that the first part of your postcode might need to be the same as the stadium that you are attending i.e. EH for Easter Road and the Tony Macaroni Arena, G for Ibrox and Parkhead etc.

Hopefully not though.

I'm happy to wait if all STs can go to the semi.

Having permission is one thing, doing it in a way that doesn’t lose the club money is another.

The club are already losing a **** tonne of money. Season ticket holders have paid up, and it’s up to the club to get them back in as soon as is safe to do so. If we’re waiting for walk ups then we’ll be waiting a very long time IMO. What we going to do, watch every other club let STH’s in and then say to our fans ‘sorry but we’re not having that as it would lose us a few bob’. We certainly won’t be breaking even this season regardless, but I expect the club to do all they can to get fans through the door.

[marinello59]

I see they are looking at 20-30% attendance in England from October 3rd with no away fans. If we do similar then 50% of ST holders will be able to attend each home game.

Just allow 5000 walk ups=tidy profit

So how do you choose who gets in and who doesn’t when folk have paid the same money for season tickets?

Unless we can use Murrayfield and accommodate all our season ticket holders it’s not fair to pick and choose imo.

Ballot and rotate.

It's better than no-one, surely?

Would be a ballot. Quite simple. Just because everyone can’t get in, it would be daft if the club to stop everyone from attending.

What is the point of a test event with 700 people in a 70,000 stadium?

What exactly are they testing anyway?

As an aside, we played a bounce game at Perth a few weeks ago, a few fans watched the game between the Ormond and Main Stand, is this your chance😄

It will check the logistics before increasing the number attending. Less about the social distance more about the mechanics of getting people in and out.

Just my thoughts.

I got a bus yesterday for the first time since lockdown and apart from the required face mask i couldn't see any restriction on numbers. not the same i know but apart from common sense there was nothing to stop you sitting infront behind or next to someone else. There may be more allowed in than we expect

Would you get to have a ballot with the rest of your household? If you get chosen for one game would you be ineligible for the next game? Do games v Rangers and Celtic get spread out evenly?

Quite a few things to consider.

That's what I suspect might happen but I hope not. Living in an FK postcode area I would probably be excluded even although I'd be coming from an area that's had less than 30 cases in the past 6 weeks.

[Gloucester Hibs]

Not sure a ballot would be the fairest of ways. Say 5000 fans are allowed back....Based on 10k ST holders I would just allow 5000 fans to attend one week and the other 5000 the next week, keep alternating week-on-week until things change again. That way everyone gets a chance to attend. Obviously depending on which week it was it would mean some fans get the “plum” fixtures but I can’t think of a fairer way to do it 🤔 🤷*♂️

Establish who doesn’t want to go. Establish who doesn’t need to distance from each other to maximise space.

Ballot for the first game. Those unsuccessful for the first game are priority for the second game and so on.

We won’t accommodate everyone to start with but whether it’s 1k, 5k or 10k we need to be good to go with however many are allowed, as soon as they’re allowed.

Yes and yes would be the answer to your first two questions if I was making the decisions, not even household though. Could just be your bubble, I go to the games with my son and father in law, who I see regularly. The three of us going together would make sense and would ease the strain of trying to put separation between everyone. Would literally be pointless if me and my father in law were both drawn to go to the game and had to sit apart from each other.

You’re right though, it is things to be considered, that doesn’t mean they’re insurmountable problems though.
