vikingTON Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 The person I was responding literally claimed that closed door games are only being considered anywhere to cover big TV contracts. That's not an opinion or judgment: that's factually incorrect bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolph Hucker Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Where did he or anyone else say that it “can’t possibly happen”, which is, literally, what you said? And which is also factually incorrect bollocks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, closed door matches are generally horrific as viewing spectacles, atmosphere is what makes a sport such as football and without it, it's nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Wing Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Possible venues if this neutral hubs idea happens "Big ground share concept", so why not use EEP instead of McDiarmid since that group contains all the fife teams (and is bigger than McDiarmid)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SJP79 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Live streaming games is the only way forward at the moment. The big issue though is testiing players if thats required, if it is the costs will simply be too high for many clubs.

Rob1885 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 This is such a fluid situation it baffles me that anybody is talking with any degree of certainty what will happen for an entire year nevermind a couple of months in front of us. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because folk are gripped with the fear and hype over it there might never be a vaccine found so are clubs to play behind closed doors forever? Will we never be able to go to gigs again? It’s nonsense 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we never be able to go to gigs again? It’s nonsense Yes there might never be a vaccine but we'll need to get to the stage where it is almost eradicated from the country before we're back to normal. At that point serious thinking will be needed about the freedom of travel between countries as we know how easily it spread country to country when it all started in Feb/March. Think testing kits and temperature checks will be mandatory at airports for some while at least. Do think also if there isn't a vaccine there needs to be at least a drug cure which can be given to people when they do catch it to ensure they get better immediately and don't die. Jason Leitch was on the radio yesterday saying him and his wife have tickets for some concert at the Hydro in October which will have 12,000 people at it and he said he's not throwing the tickets away just yet, he gave it a 40/50% chance of going ahead. Think a lot depends on whether we get a second wave or not, if we get a second wave that's probably going to push us back into the beginning of 2021 before relative normality instead of the latter months of 2020. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media would have a field day on the goverment if they allowed that at this stage so no chance it aint happening.
