What I’d like the powers to be to explain to me is why it’s ok for the world snooker final in May to have a capacity crowd indoors, whereas an outdoor event at hampden is limited to 25% when all evidence uncontested is that outdoor transmission is negligible. The crucible is not hugely spacious and will have them rammed like sardines with no distancing whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 St Johnstone still had cash gates last year, I think the long term aim is to bin them and go full e-ticket Must have been home fans cant remember being able to pay cash for a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Is PATG a thing still. Clearly been in the seaside leagues way too long. I haven't been able to pay cash at a turnstile to get into a game in Scotland in god knows how long.I've noticed more clubs having a shite system of having to buy a ticket from the office to then scan on the turnstiles as opposed to just paying at the turnstile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then later say in response to a different question that LFT tests aren't a route back to normal because "even if negative you might still have it" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how practical that is in venues with a capacity over 1000 never mind 50,000 unless of course we had some form of digital app style system..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably very similar reasons that a game of fives in England can be played in March, but you need to wait 7 (SEVEN) weeks later to play a game in Scotland. The Scottish government's approach to health, fitness and sport is an absolute disgrace. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No PATG since Saints moved into the current stadium, long long time regardless of division. Fully electronic turnstiles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 1 hour ago, super_carson said: You'd hope that that would also apply to the start of the domestic season in July as an absolute minimum. Not that I think that that's necessarily right, but given the over-cautious attitude of the SG it may be realistic. Off the top of my head, 25% capacity in grounds probably wouldn't affect that many clubs outside the Premiership significantly. Still shite though. Falkirk fans will likely take issue with this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of a contradiction of rules for some inexplicable reason. If twice weekly LFTs are going to be offered to everyone, and a negative LFT result is enough to go to the snooker, then a negative LFT result should be enough to get Hampden full. I really wish our journalists would challenge our decision makers on these discrepancies rather than act like we should be grateful for the bones we are being thrown. Make them justify their decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNP soapbox on football and alcohol sickens me. Pure naked snobbery. Something that I find really offputting for them despite my support for them over the years. And make no mistake, this ultra-sanitised experience the "lucky" few thousand will get at Hampden this summer is their absolute dream for what a football crowd should look like. Everyone sedated, sat down, none of those boisterous young teams and their drunken antics - heaven forbid. Maybe the occasional “come on Scotland!” if we’re lucky. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't taken into account the UEFA element, which means they want to make sure the can accommodate all their corporate and "UEFA family" punters. The normal fan will be lucky to get into Hampden. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 makes it a bit more surreal seeing all this about clotting in the news and my partner literally had (and still has) blood clotting in and around her lungs after the jag, went to A&E for short breath and pain in her left side the other week. she's having to go through chemo too though and it says online on a decent enough source that clotting can be an ordinary side effect to chemo so not necessarily a reasonable side effect if you're in ordinary health but yeah. I mean not everyone is in the same risk categories but she is kind of peeved that they've given her that jag and it looks like it's contributed to her having to take another trip to A&E. Her gran got the Pfizer one and has been fine, too, so that doesnt help. Pulmonary embolism is just one of those things i've kind of heard of in passing and sticks with me, it just sounds like its nasty apart from anything else, seeing it on the discharge papers she showed us was grim... She's recovering well enough anyway tbf, but she has to inject her own stomach (blood thinner i think) for the next 3 months which isn't fun and games on top of everything else. Still has a bit of difficulty getting into a comfortable sleeping position too bless her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
