I think we'll be fine for this coming season however I don't think we anywhere near good enough to finish 3rd. Hibs have that wrapped up IMO. A ball hasn't been kicked! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 If you're lucky enough to win a ticket that you've paid for you've to then go and do a test and then register and print your results before getting in? Fuckthat BTW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 It’s a bit of a nonsense though Even after you scan the barcode and enter your details, putting in whether the test is positive or negative is still a manual process You’re really relying on everyone being honest, if you hadn’t been to the fitba in 18 months, what would you do…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be the first club in Scotland to ask for it since the "test events" last winter, no other club this Summer has asked for it as its not required.

Fuckthat BTW. We are going to give it a try on Thursday. The test is the easy part IMO, not sure if they will be strict about sitting with a mask on for the whole game outside. I don’t agree with this part especially if you have shown a negative test. If this is strictly adhered to and it’s crap I won’t be back until this is relaxed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, just noted that when DC was on the radio he said the whole process was very much ‘a negotiation’. Im speculating but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something along the lines of ‘can we get an extra 1k in if everyone has to provide proof of a test’ type of scenario. Would be interesting to know how it’s done because different councils could create a few inconsistencies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
