Fife yesterday - 36 cases. Tier 2 Forth Valley (Falkirk, Stirling & Clacks all togther) 40 cases (hardly a difference). Tier 3

A large chunk of me thinks they're at it. Dragging it out as long as they can (all the time increasing the need - and value - of it). When this all kicked off, autumn was spoke about. Now into next year....

Asked about the Borders going into Tier 2 rather than 1, NS replied “As we first migrate onto this new system,” she says “we will apply a degree of caution just to make sure we’re not taking risks that are greater than we should be.” I agree we shouldn't be taking unecessary risks, but if a LA's numbers dicate it should go into a particular tier, then thats where it should go. Dropping down a tier is going to be the same slow, cautious manner that was employed in the summer with the lockdown

no

Well done her eh? She's the only one daft enough to put it out there for us all to see. You can be sure the super rich have been at this throughout

Hancock denied this yesterday

Hope so. I've been advocating throwing caution to the wind on this thing. So that would do that to some degree

lol. Is that the same person who told you about the tier levels?

I take it this week we'll be going through a series of hints, suggestions and leaked papers before we all find out what tier we're all going to be in?

Indeed. If proximity is a factor, then there's really little point in abiding by the rules in places like Falkirk, Inverclyde, East Lothian etc if the numbers in places next door determines the tier they're in

A willingness to use tier 4, but not tier 0 is an interesting insight into the mindset of SG. Tier 4 maybe justifiable for N and S Lanarkshire, but what's the justification for Western isles not being in tier 0. If WI aren't in tier 0 at the levels they currently have, then there's zero prospect of any Central Belt LAs ever even getting to Tier 1.

i think this is exactly what will happen

For what reasons? NS has said this plenty times, but if the islands don't go immediately into Tier 0, then she would be having restrictions longer than need be.

That would involve quite a lot changes from current restrictions. NS just said there just now that (no surprises) there would be very few changes from current restrictions

They may argue that unless all teams can have supporters, then none will. Realistically, it will be until the old firm are allowed fans. Correct

Just a personal viewpoint. They've not exactly been shouting for it thus far

I think the SFA will put some hurdles in place to stop that happening anyway. Until such a time Rangers and Celtic fans can get in, doubt anyones getting in.

If @Donathan is right then in a week or two, we could reach the point where the SFA themselves are denying fans the chance to attend matches. There's quite a lot of teams in those councils in Tier 1

"We won't have restrictions a second longer than need be" Aye, you will hen. Aye you will

Hat is doffed.

Don't know. Just hoping for a home tie

I could Google, but P&B will know best .... When do we find out what tier we're in? And is it done by council area or health board area? And how often is it reviewed? And will criteria be used (and published) on the parameters in order to move from one tier to another?

The last eight months would suggest that there's every chance

So he did. My mistake

The point I was trying to make was that perhaps they should know. Although a few posters subsequently pointed out some of the complications. On another note, the thread has improved remarkably the last day or two
