No new Coronvirus deaths registered in Scotland over the past 24 hours - according to the news.

Here's a wee scenario to consider.
After an initial set of games played behind closed doors, the SPFL follow the example of some other countries and start with an initial 25% of capacity in use at stadiums. Imagine as well that Hibs, by that point, have ~12,000 Season Ticket holders.
If you play the first set of matches at Easter Road, the Season Ticket Holders would be taking it in turns to attend games, missing out on just over half of home games. Given that, it wouldn't be possible to sell Single Match Tickets (there would likely be an outcry from ST holders). This would mean no extra money for Hibs.
Now imagine instead that Hibs decided to play those games at Murrayfield. The 25% capacity would mean a maximum of 17,000 fans could attend. As that's a possible 5,000 more than the number of Season Ticket holders, the club would, in this scenario, be able to sell Single Match Tickets.
It wouldn't be outwith the realms of possibility that we could get an attendance of 15-16,000 (actually less than last season's average), meaning the club have then sold around 3-4,000 extra tickets, at an average price of about £15 each.
That would mean playing that set of games at Murrayfield would raise (depending on the actual attendance) somewhere between 45k-60k per game. The club could use that extra revenue to pay for the stadium rental.
There would also be the added benefit that no Season Ticket Holders would need to miss a single home game.Last edited by Keith_M; 07-06-2020 at 02:13 PM.

Regarding playing games at Murrayfield, using a percentage of the normal capacity (possibly 25%), Scottish National Clinical Director, Jason Leitch said
“I think it’s an excellent idea. It makes perfect sense.”

I wouldn’t be shocked if this does come to happen in the slightly longer term, though I still think totally closed door games will happen first.

I just don't get how social distancing can be implemented at any stadium, irrespective of ground size. I think these ideas are all pie in the sky. Can you imagine trying to socially distance exiting the East Stand, you'd still be there for the next home game!

Have a read at the article in the link I posted.
This is surely somebody that knows what they're talking about.

The clubs have to try these things or they are going to be in real trouble.

I think people need to realise that it’s not a suggestion for when the season starts in August. There’s no way they’ll allow us to flick a switch one day and suddenly we’ll have full stadiums so a phased approach seems to be what the sfa and the government are looking at. A couple of chairmen have been mentioning November/December or possibly October but I think that might be a bit ambitious. If playing at Murrayfield gets most of our support in the ground when otherwise you’d probably be looking at 1 in 3 games for ST’s then that can only be a good thing.

This a question I have been asking myself for quite some time. "What is the point of a partially filled stadium other than being used as a risk assessment which gambles with peoples lives unnecessarily ?"
My opinion - I know that "testing the water" is an oft used term but I feel that when it is safe for large, close, gatherings to go back then we can all go back, no experiments.
I am desperate to get back to ER but just not that desperate. I am just an old fart who would like to be an even older old fart.

Phase 2 will be coming into affect around 18th June and we will see more and more open soon.
The Scottish season will 100% be behind closed doors for first few fixtures..but it won’t be forever.
Phase 3 will probably be around July 16th I would imagine.
Phase 3 to 4 is the biggie - would imagine that to be later in Autumn.
