Some clubs represent big communities and get decent crowds that allow them to pay more. A bigger population increases the talent pool. It stands to reason they will be better for the most part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Thought for a while that lower leagues with a 500 capped crowd, (200 would do for most Highland League games) could go ahead if players just need temperature checks and some basic precautions. Bubbles are a waste of time for part timers. Leave the tight rules for the full timers with potential crowd control trouble and enough money for covid tests twice a week.

I'll add in they also have better funding from commercial activity. I watch plenty of non-league on both sides of the border and step 3 and 4 are miles better than top non-league here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 UEFA have already blocked the return of fans for their games, which rules out the European fixtures at Celtic Park and Ibrox, or the Nations League game at Hampden, so of course it's going to be rugby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuckleMoo Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 'Social distancing where possible'... except in the area that pupils spend 90% of each day. Imagine the tsunami of tears and snotters if a pub was caught adopting the same approach to the beloved social distancing protocol but this has actual government approval because 'ahm no watchin ma weans one minute mair, get it sorted Nicola' is the order of the day here.Like I said, not ideal, but better than a house full of pished up teenagers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly, Glasgow and Edinburgh's average attendances are around 7,300 The Edinburgh v Glasgow games typically draw much higher crowds, though.

Pish excuse. All clubs could easily be invited to run test events, capped at a percentage of stadium capacity. For the likes of Hamilton that might only be 600 fans, but it's a start. That said i'm not exactly sure what 1,000 fans in a 67,000 seater stadium is supposed to be testing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty dingus Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 FFS what is it with you sadists, Inverclyde has already been hammered, now you want to allow us to return to Cappielow to increase the suffering. I don't see a problem if they allow 10% -15% capacity in to grounds to start with as long as there is proper risk assesment in place. It seems to have worked OK in other leagues. https://www.theticketingbusiness.com/2020/07/06/lech-poznan-attract-record-post-covid-crowd/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
