I thought it was back to venues over 10,000 for vaccine passport checks?

TBH, I'm completely lost as to what rules apply now.

The Covid certification scheme in Scotland

Covid status certificates are needed to get into the following higher risk settings in Scotland:

  • late night premises with music, which serve alcohol at any time between midnight and 5am and have a designated place for dancing for customers
  • indoor events (unseated) with 500 or more people
  • outdoor events (unseated) with 4,000 or more people
  • any event with 10,000 or more people

I was under the impression you needed a VP to get into the Caley Stadium to watch a game. At least the last time I looked back in December. I know the stewards at Dunfermline for our away game back in January were checking VPs. So its a thing in the Championship. You need a VP to get into the Ironworks for a live performance. Eden Court doesn't ask for a VP but recommend use of the test and protect Scotland app.

Not really that interested in pubs these days and the whole comedy with masks makes it all even less appealing.

I've been to every home game this season and not seen anyone being asked for a VP.  As @oaksoft says, is it not over 10,000?

Depends if they're using your club's Seville calculator to record attendances - unless it magically stops at 3999.

There was 3000 at our game last night but the club only announced 1700 so I think you're possibly thinking of another club m5.

Why were they checking at Dunfermline, is this more to do with the stadium capacity?

Considering this was a midweek game with both teams not exactly on top form it seems a bit weird on top of the reason why they needed to to this in the first place. 3138 was the attendance.

Also have Partick Thistle been asking for VP's as they decided for the ICT game they weren't required, meaning they had been asking for them in the previously.

Are they asking for them at the grounds with bigger stands like at Falkirk or Rugby Park?

It was changed to 10,000 on the 17th January, I think it was anything above 500 or 1,000 until then.

Presumably as their stadium holds over 10,000.

People over the age of 18 must show - if asked - that they are fully vaccinated, or have proof of a negative rapid lateral flow test (LFD) or PCR within the previous 24 hours, before they are allowed entry to certain venues and events.

Time they got rid of the whole palaver anyway, anyone who isn't vaccinated by now isn't going to be "nudged" by these rules carrying on.

Thistle asked for vaccine passports for one game because the guidance from the JRG was that it was for crowds over 1000 seated which was promptly binned within a week meaning the club no longer need to ask for them.

My pals dad killed himself in November. 72 years old, no terminal illnesses or anything. My pal thinks restrictions had a huge part to play but we will never really know. I suppose if you don't know the reason you can pretend there's no link, but suicide rates are increasing in the over 65 group, so something is causing that. 

It annoys me how some people are happy to turn a blind eye to suicides over lockdown because "we just can't be sure" that it was lockdown that caused them.

One of my brother's pals tried to take his own life at the turn of the year. He's a musician and 19/20. Lockdown obviously hammered the live events industry, denied him the chance to make a living but, more than that, removed him completely from his main outlet. Music. He couldn't perform live, he couldn't go and watch gigs, he wasn't even able to get together with a few pals in a room and arse about with guitars for a fair chunk of the last two years. It totally removed his biggest passion and very nearly cost him his life. I don't doubt there will be countless other stories that are similar too.

Yup. I never came close to suicidal thoughts thankfully but my mental and physical health is absolutely destroyed. All I seem to have done over the past two years is work and I can probably count the number of 'fun' things I've done on the one hand.

Yet any death within 28 days of a positive covid test is included in the stats without questioning if it was contributory.
