    I thought that Scotland, or the area where most people live has been in lockdown for a week or more.

    Why has Edinburgh been placed in the same category as Glasgow despite the fact that the CV rate in way below anything from Glasgow or Dundee?

    Silly question here? Did anyone expect the SNP to put Edinburgh in a lower classification than Glasgow? It was never going to happen.

    I am certainly not slagging off the SNP but just hoping for fair treatment for Edinburgh.

    National lockdown coming to England next week. Scotland almost certain to follow. Don't know for how long or if football will be allowed to continue during it.

    Football in England was able to carry on in lockdown, can’t see that changing

    Scotland have had a lot more strict restrictions in place for longer like not. Icing households etc, hopefully they will mean we won’t follow but it will depend on the numbers

    Doesn’t look good for lower leagues in Scotland if that is the case.

    Scotland has already got lockdowns. Remember we are about a month ahead of England in our actions. Numbers and infections rates are coming down in Lothian. Just need to get the west under control.

    We won't necessarily follow England. They have been too lax until today. Areas with much higher transmission with Ayrshire (level 3, quite high) are still in level 1 down there!
    What it will mean is England will give us a little more money again, as that's how this pandemic has seemed to work, England controlling the purse strings.

    Our 7 day average of new cases is going the right way as well as the case positivity.

    Hopefully the unpopular but decisive action the ScotGov took early means we’ll avoid another full lockdown. A lot of political capital to be gained should that be the case. Imagine if Scotland and Wales didn’t need to lockdown but England did, not a great look given the warnings they ignored.

    A lockdown won't be the only thing coming if Nisbet gets a hat-trick today

    North and South Lanarkshire got the benifit of the doubt and were put in tier 3 and not 4.Edinburgh and East Lothian were not given tbe benefit of doubt and were put in tier 3 not tier 2.Now this is not easy for the SNP government i admit that but dont tell me that politics did not influence that decision.

    In a global pandemic where cases are increasing by more than 500,000 new infections a day lockdowns will be more commonplace. However it rips ma knittin that people describe what we have now in Scotland as a lockdown. Mild restrictions at best, even earlier this year it wasn't a full lockdown.

    What influenced the decision is that West Lothian is still very high and NHS Lothian have a pool of beds. Therefore there was a risk that if we go up slightly and WL is yet to come down, there won't be enough beds

    The scot gov has been incredibly open and transparent on the reasons why tiers were selected

    Going over in detail on TV and also releasing all rationale on there website

    The info is all there

    Some lower league games in England selling out

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-54704567

    One club said it thought the interest stemmed from football being like a "Class A drug" for many supporters.
    If fans are not alowed at Easter Road but they are in the Lowland League for example, who would you go to watch?
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Yes, I’d go to as many games as possible.

    Science actually. Right now 46 million people have been confirmed to have this virus and every 72 hours the equivalent of a packed out Easter Road die from this virus. World Wide that figure is only rising. The measures being put in place here are slowing that rise but we are still being afforded a reasonable standard of life. If we all respect that there is a fair chance things will quickly get to Tier 2, 1 and hopefully zero.

    Its truly an awful state of affairs that Scottish people can't control their own borders or control their own finances in the midst of a global pandemic.

    This really is one of the strangest countries and I really can't think of anywhere comparable anywhere in the world.

    Somehow cases seem to be coming down though in Scotland and the 5 tier system does give at least some parts of rural Scotland a very good chance of some sort of normality with the central belt remaining in the balance.

    I fear for the lower leagues though as they are going to struggle to complete their seasons and very surprisingly some of the Northern clubs ironically may have allowed fans in by then.

    Based on last time, 250k people standing 2m apart on either side of the route means the parade will have to be over 150 miles long so it will need to start in Inverness.

    Their stadium to ours is 157 miles, so easy enough to plan.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Wonder what's happened today to change minds. Just a couple of hours ago this seemed dead in the water:

    Up to 4,000 fans allowed back into stadiums in England from 2nd December depending on what tier they are in.

    Maximum of 4,000 in Tier 1
    Maximum of 2,000 in Tier 2

    Can’t even get 100 into a non league ground up here, chances of thousands anytime soon is extremely unlikely unfortunately.

    Ross County's had fans at their last two home games albeit nowhere near 4,000.

    300 I think. My point being that in England from tier 6 downwards fans have been allowed, whereas up here they still aren’t, so I wouldn’t trust us to be following England’s lead anytime soon on numbers.

    I agree that we won't be following their lead. Fans can only return in level 0 and level 1 areas and at the moment that only applies to Ross County, Inverness and Elgin in terms of the 42 teams in the SPFL.

    Not bad, considering there are only 3 tiers.
