if this happens we are in some trouble https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-54368306

It’s not the just turning up and playing, how do they get there if they don’t drive? This is a health issue in the respect that you are not letting teams use dressing rooms, showers etc. But you expect them to go and stand outside and get a team talk in the pissing rain extreme cold then warm up change out out of their warm up gear into a wet playing kit.? (Worse case scenario). So you are protecting them from COVID-19 but letting them catch pneumonia? Hypothermia? Some teams have covered terraces, but I would not fancy going to Benburb on a winters day where there is no cover and be in nothing more than a t-shirt and shorts for nearly three hours. I want the games back as much as anybody but you have to be realistic about where we are right now.

One of the bigger issues which has not been mentioned is how are players going to travel to grounds to play games with everybody being encouraged not to travel together in cars? Not every player can drive and and rely on team mates for transport to and from games The issue of changing and showering has not been fully resolved as well, I don’t think you can expect players to turn up and hour before the game in the pissing rain and gale force winds or worse snowing warm up and not have the opportunity to dry off and changeout of training kit and into dry playing kit. These have to be resolved before we can talk about getting fans into the grounds.

At what point now do we say games a bogey? And what happens to the teams that were drawn in the first round of the south of Scotland cup scheduled for the 24th October? It’s getting less likely we are going to be able to complete the proposed shortened season.

And another. From Beith

Beith from the 60’s

This could all have been avoided if when declaring champions and awarding promotion they also declared relegation (I have no idea who the bottom three would have been). Then it would have been a 17 team league then season and 16 next year. And would have made the season easier to complete with less games to be played.

Beith have re-signed Calum watt.

I don’t agree with the players can play for a different club in what is technically last seasons cup. They should be cup tied.

It may not necessarily be 38 games. They could play 19 and split top and bottom for another 9 games. I'm sure the fixtures people could easily work that out. It'll all depend on when we can get started. There is no way it will be balanced, as we have seen this season not every team plays the same amount of games at the same time. There is also the problem that you could have played 19 games but not yet played some of the teams in the league.

This has big ramifications for a lot of smaller clubs who deeksperately need income to stay alive, and with the ban being indefinite at this point with the peak of the out break still 14 weeks away it will be devastating.

First case in Scotland confirmed, in tayside. Someone returning from Italy. I would be surprised if anything was cancelled at the moment it would need a large increase in cases being diagnosed in Scotland

Which they've spent ground sharing and playing lower league fitba which makes it harder to attract a gate, gain sponsorship,put on events, get local businesses on board and making money therefor keeping a team on the park and the lights on at the club become the main priority id have thought might be wrong tho. Easy to gloat when yer winning and times are good won't always be that way tho firstly, Where in any of my posts have I gloated about winning anything. secondly, if you actually read my last post the work done in bellsdale is 99% done by volunteers. thirdly, to keep the lights on one of the things you have to do is get fans through the turnstiles to bring in revenue. finally, if they own the park and are ground sharing surely they are making money off their tenants. and they are renting the park through the week to make money , which when these facilities are built is one of the main reasons for doing it. To create revenue

Mmm do you think we only get three Saturdays in a football season when it rains well let’s look at that, Beith have been to new tinto twice this season and it pissed down on both occasions and stopped our favs going. So we take about 100 fans to away games so that’s about 100 fan paying £6/£3 about £500 over two games that did not attend . I think you should review your figures.

Yes it has been and improvements are made at bellsdale EVERY year by volunteers giving up their time and helping improve the facilities at bellsdale. And here lies my point New Tinto park has been open for 5 years and nothing has been done to improve what us already there.
