Yes limiting the numbers to people who live within a certain distance from the stadium.

You're either allowed to travel more than 5 miles for leisure purposes or you're not.

You're talking about 300 people attending at the moment, where's the problem in allowing people from further afield (other season ticket holders) to travel to the game and sit in a 20,000 seater stadium with 299 other people?

You're not talking about thousands of people coming into Edinburgh on trains and buses which may cause problems with crowds gathering on public transport.

It's a test event - it should be getting used to test the full event, which for me includes the before, during and after processes and that includes replicating (albeit on a much smaller scale) how people normally travel to and from the stadium.
I don't think you are grasping what test event means. Think of it like a drugs trial, say like a vaccine.

1. You select a small number of people to 'test' the initial batch. You know their history [=300 known people]
2. You run the test and you review the results [= you get someone in your trial coming down with Covid in 14 days you test and protect rest]
3. Evaluate the results
4. Apply lessons on a larger population sample and re-run as per 2. above
5. Repeat stage 3
6. Launch pre-release batch to a larger but still restricted population and model expected results against a risk assessment
7. Re-evaluate outcomes against modelling.
8. Launch approved batch.

With a drug that can take years, with football crowds the timescales align to Covid reviews so expect each step to take 3 weeks and only to progress is gate criteria are met.
