Aberdeen say the expect to be given permission tomorrow to host fans for the weekend

Still have no idea what crowds of that size test. That said, would be a step in the right direction and if it’s what is needed to tick a box, allowing us to move forward, then so be it.

Limited numbers and very strict stewarding.

We are now expecting confirmation tomorrow that our application for a test event with 300 season ticket holders for Kilmarnock (12/9/20) has been successful.

750 fans for our match with Motherwell should also be confirmed later in the week.

Thanks for your patience! #StandFree https://t.co/lu5sAf4deB

300 fans in Pittodrie must be some sort of record

I'd be surprised based on what I heard today. Good news if true though.

[TheGog]

Maybe sounding a tad bitter but Aberdeen have just came out a 2nd lockdown i fail to see what merits that city to allow fans back in stadiums, surely they should be last

[TheGog]

Just hearing ST mirren have been given the green light to allow fans in for our game this weekend.

Couldn’t care who is first, we are away this weekend so doesn’t concern us. No non STH either so clubs aren’t making cash out of it. As long as we are at the front of talks and making sure our game the following week can have fans then I’m all for it.

I'd be stunned if that was true, given they are part of the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area.

The restrictions last week were in East Renfrewshire, Glasgow and West Dunbartonshire.


Has Renfrewshire been added yet?

Disappointing if it affects St Mirren's attempts to do a trial match with fans.

It's absolute nonsense that we cannot go into a open air stadium and maintain 2m social distance yet you can go into a indoor boozer where folk are that jaked by 10 o'clock social distancing goes out the window!

Sturgeon is an erse and the quicker she gets to Falkirk the better

Bars and restaurants would probably still be closed if they weren't responsible for millions of jobs.

Would you prefer she closed them again?

If Rangers and Celtic aren't allowed to have fans during the restrictions, St Mirren won't be any different.

I would prefer to go to a football match than sit in a pub.

I don't see why you cant go to a football match but can travel on a train to Glasgow full with people?

Somebody needs to take a stand with the SFA and speak out just the same as airline companies etc are doing!

Its not right football is different to all other walks of life

[H18 SFR]

In a time when governments are performing more U turns than god knows what, might be time for some people power to speak up. I’d like to see a coordinated effort from fans groups to get involved.

We're in the middle of a global pandemic. Personal preferences don't come into it.

All sorts of public gatherings have been and are being cancelled so you can hardly see that football is being treated differently.

Any excuse for a dig at Sturgeon though...

Only you can’t travel on a *full* train through to Glasgow can you.

My thoughts exactly, Aberdeen itself has been in an imposed second lockdown, the football club had players that broke rules causing the postponement of games. Yet Aberdeen and the football club are to be the location for a proposed test event, you couldn’t make it up!

To what end?

If the Scottish Government and the health advisers decide something isnt happening then no bleating from the likes of the Scottish Football Supporters Association will change their minds.

Whats the point in test matches? What does having 300 at Pittodrie actually prove?

I'm not sure if it's the actual reason but I can only presume they feel they have to start with a very small number and gradually increase that over time, while observing at each stage whether it has an affect on the rates of infection.

Plus there's no way under the sun that the SG would allow them to start with a larger number, say 25% of capacity, so there's no point in even proposing it as a starting point.

You do realise that under current restrictions imposed by Nicolas Sturgeon she is unable to go anywhere let alone Falkirk.

That's not the case, she can go anywhere she likes, just not into someone's house. She can meet that household in the pub though.

Well if it was Hearts being allowed to host 300 fans then we would hear no end of how they are the best supported club in Scotland. on the other hand it would actually involve a valid crowd size being announced.
