raith1974 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I wouldn't be surprised if the club say no fans, then they don't have to pay for any stewarding etc. So much I could say on this but will leave it with the facts are the symptoms are the cold we are financially destroying clubs, companies etc for a cold. I'm just recovering from COVID and my symptoms which lasted 3 days were the cold. South Africa had little concerns bur we have reacted to ruin business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’d rather there was football on than not, and I think I’d rather have a (presumably) half chance or going to it than none at all. It is still a shite state of affairs. I can’t see full crowds back in three weeks anyway so no point in stopping really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Annan have 500 tickets on sale for the Kelty Hearts game, they may have interpreted the rules differently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Wonder how the folk who claimed they cancelled after Tait being sold are feeling now?I don’t imagine they’re feeling any different tbh. I didn’t cancel but people can do whatever they want with their own money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 A shut down would be a better option in theory, but: 1. Who would bet against 3 weeks turning into 2 months like it did for league 1 and 2 last season? 2. Even if it was only for 3 weeks, it's still a 3 week period with no income no matter what way you dress it up. It's a disgraceful decision by a government that have lost touch with all concept of reality. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagpuss Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Have clubs been offered anything as compensation, or do we just lose our biggest gate receipts of the season and just suck it up? Maybe the whole league should just take a raincheck. This is the worst of all worlds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 From a selfish point of view I’d rather the derby went ahead behind closed doors than not at all. My brother is back in Scotland for the first time in over two years and we were really looking forward to going to the Novar for a few pints followed by the derby….. but watching together in my living room with Raith TV and a few cans is better than no football. The 500 limit is indeed ridiculous. Easy Fife can have 50% of their capacity, Rangers can only have 1% in fundamentally the same layout. I too would be surprised if the club let any fans in- massive hammer blow to our finances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live 400 miles away and I can't even get the stream due to the hard up EPL worried it will take me away from one of their games. Just apply a wee bit of technical wizardry and you can watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 It's ridiculous, hypothetically speaking styx for arguments sake (with their covid record) pack the place out to watch a stream (unsure of the broadcasting legalities of this) of the match and this is safer than opening the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year past pre-season Annan Athletic were allowed to have 40 fans in their social club (which sits within their ground), to watch a stream of a game v Hamilton which was going on outside. According to regulations, this was safe, but having the same 40 people standing outside watching the game socially distanced was unsafe. And they wonder why people's respect for the rule makers is diminishing somewhat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styx aren’t allowed to do that though, so probably not a great comparison, even hypocritically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they did broadcast a game last season, whether it was legit or not is a different story but I’m sure they could come to some arrangement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be pointed out that Styx had one Covid outbreak, the same as many other pubs, they also adhere to all the track and trace rules and always have done, unlike many other pubs, as others have said I don't think they are allowed to show the game though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
