Given that there’s no restriction on travel in Scotland I can’t understand why they would need to only allow fans who live closest to the stadium to attend at first. I could drive to Inverness and go to the cinema, why would they stop fans from attending Easter Road if they’re not local? I understand the no away fans as you’d want to get as many of your own season ticket holders in, is this another one of these things like not allowing the away team to use the away dressing room.
I was going to say this too.

I haven't seen anything official that this will be the case when football crowds start to return so I'll hold off with my outrage for the moment but given that Edinburgh Rugby fans need to live locally to get a ticket for Friday's match, I'll be pretty annoyed if I'm denied the chance to attend a game just because I can't see Easter Road from my kitchen window.

It's been nearly 2 months since the 5 mile limit on travel was lifted. I could almost see the point in it if there was no limit on the numbers that could attend but there will be so what difference does it make if the several hundred (or whatever it ends up being) who are allowed to attend initially come from Edinburgh or further afield?
