If I catch Covid and die, or if I catch Covid and develop the dreaded long Covid, at least I will be described by uk_centrist, Deepti and others as "previously super fit"

Edinburgh Council it appears are doing everything they can to not let full capacity at both Easter Road and Tynecastle from next week. 
 

 

Usually plenty of staggered arrivals when we're away in Edinburgh anyway LOLZ.

In reality, none of the above stipulations is about anything other than being seen to be doing something, i.e jobsworth nonsense.

All just theatre and it'll be rubber stamped everywhere regardless.

I'd  be very disappointed if they didn't fit in that you were a lecturer.

Lecturer, father, previously super fit. With a picture of me walking on a beach with my kids.

What difference does staggered arrivals make given we are told that you need to be in air space of someone for around 15 minutes to catch it?

Are we seriously to believe that 30-60 seconds walking through a busy stand to your seat marks you as high risk? Because if so, that's completely against what we've been told the last 18 months.

Dumbarton operated staggered entry to our play-off match with Edinburgh City at the end of last season, asking some fans to turn up 1.5 hours before kick off, with no bar and no kiosks open. Just sit in your seat for 3-4 hours until the game is done, thankfully no extra time was required. I refused my ticket and sat at home with a beer and I'll be doing that again if they start this pish. Thankfully we appear to be operating a pay gate this week with very little restriction, so hopefully that continues.

Are clubs operating staggered exit times for fans? My experience of ten years at our new midden sees entry being done in jig time, but at full time, we are all close together shuffling towards the ‘vomitories’ with it taking a long time to exit, compared to entry. Surely if 1039 fans at SMP require staggered entry to keep us safe, some of us shouldn’t be allowed to leave until one hour after the final whistle.

This surely cannot be an idiotic, useless as fcuk, tick box exercise, up there with insisting on wee bits of cloth on our faces in an outdoor setting. Surely not.

If this is something which is required, I would suggest everyone simply ignores it and turns up when they want.

Nope. We were booted out of the Dunfermline game ASAP, milling about on stairwells and the likes. 

Club's duty of care to you was done as soon as ref blew for time it appeared.

No staggered exit at Clyde last week (or entry for that matter).

It’s a fcuking joke now, isn’t it. The only thing missing on Saturday will be John Swinney standing beside me with a wee cardboard box selling macaroon bars, spearmint chewing gum, an’ ra’ tartan facemasks.

Genuine question...

Is there a particular reason why they have absolutely fucked their vaccination program?

Despite being more 'zero covid-y' than everywhere else, they surely knew that vaccination was the only way they could get out of this?

They've had plenty time to sort it, so to be in this position so far down the line is inexplicable.

A relative of mine in NZ is mid 70s and only got their first jag about 4 weeks ago.

That's a fair age for a sheep

That's exactly what happened at Hampden without any Qs being asked, UEFA confirmed it was advisory only.

I asked the question cos I'm a nosy b*****d:

 

So, how is staggered arrivals preventing pub dwelling going to drive pub numbers down post game when everycunt piles out and goes to the pub?

I'd say most supporters who go to the pub on a matchday do so after the game. And this will be the case at 4:50 on a Saturday at ER or Tynecastle when everyone is allowed to just pile out (unless the council want to hold folk in their seats for an hour or two post match to dissuade pub activity) 

So I genuinely don't understand what staggered arrivals are actually supposed to be achieving in this scenario.

They pretty well gave up on that after the first few weeks in Inverness, I never got the hang of it tbh. One remaining annoyance in my local Tesco is you have to exit from the opposite side of the building from the entrance and where the car park is.

Start walking backwards
