No. The best case scenario, and what has happened, is fans don't miss any games. If the restrictions were extended then, yes, fans may have missed games but there is no possible outcome where fans would have missed more games than they would have missed if the break wasn't brought forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It’s still going to affect attendance numbers if people think they’re going to be checked for vaccine passports. Get them to f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I think vaccine passports are a complete waste of time, but I don't understand why anyone would be put off attending by them, particularly since you just need to provide a negative LFT result. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe people don't like getting tested? Or don't have access to tests? Not hard to see why some wouldn't want the bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people have had two doses why would they not get a booster? If your second dose was in the last 4 months you are considered fully vaccinated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hard to see why some wouldn't want the bother. Anyone buying tickets for a game is automatically going through more bother than sticking a wee swab up the nose for a few seconds. Tests are free and there are walk in centres on top of that, so it's unlikely that anyone heading to a football stadium doesn't have access to tests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows how ridiculous these restrictions are, take the barcode from the lft and report it as negative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Does anyone want to admit to being the football fan interviewed by BBC Radio news in Edinburgh, about crowds back at the games, who said "I'm a bit worried to be honest, I don't think they (the upcoming matches, presumably) should be going ahead"? I wonder how many folk they had to ask about it before they found him! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think the Scottish government is budging anytime soon with those kinds of figures to back them up then you are deluded or have been living on the moon the last two years How did that work out for you?

Pleasantly surprised I was wrong I did have a bit of a headsgone following the restrictions being freshly announced . it happens , I’m sure we have all been there at various points the last two years. although I have stated on here and the Covid thread that with it becoming clearer England were not budging on stadium attendances in the weeks following then Sturgeon would have no option but to allow fans back here . So glad a glimmer of sense has made its way into Holyrood. Edited January 12, 2022 by Forever_blueco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
