COVID-19 In Scottish Football


Recommended Posts

These restrictions today are based on evidence of infection at house parties, hence the specific ban on entering other peoples houses. No restrictions on pubs etc as no great evidence of transmission there
There are no known cases of spread from football yet..


According to daily record rangers v Dundee United is now a. no regards a small crowd

Certainly looks that way.

You wonder given the 14-day incidence rate / 100k whether a more widespread lockdown isn't coming for the Central Belt.

Hopeless example.

Pedestrian crossings don’t bring about economic collapse, mass unemployment or lack of medical treatment for non Covid patients.

They slow down cars, lorries and delivery trucks, thus bringing the economy to a grinding halt every time they turn red. They may also slow down ambulances or even courier vehicles delivering organs for transplant.

And we will return to where we were in April and May death and infections wise if we just reopen, look at the states it's totally rife still after 6 months especially in states with Trump style flat earthers in charge. What's done is done but the surest way to return to those days and thus crucify services and jobs again is to do nothing. I see your deniers every day advocating some sort of Hungers Games "survival of the fittest " regime. Utter lunacy.

For f**k sake. Go away with your pish. At least talk about football. 

What a gov's meant to do? Just let people die from it? You'd just be out accusing them of negligence for that as well.

Roy MacGregor seems to think that the game against Celtic is still a goer as a test event.

Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor insists he is still preparing for next week’s Premiership match against Celtic being a test event with crowds.

The visit of the Hoops to Dingwall is among three possible games to be earmarked as a test event from the six-game Premiership card next Saturday.

Rangers’ home match against Dundee United had also been in the running to host crowds, however the coronavirus restrictions imposed on Glasgow by the Scottish government earlier this week look to have put paid to that.

That could pave the way for other matches, such as Aberdeen’s game with Kilmarnock at Pittodrie, to be considered.

MacGregor sees no reason why County would be affected by the Glasgow restrictions, given the Staggies would only allow home fans to attend the fixture.

MacGregor said: “I think it is still a test event. I heard that they will not allow the Rangers match to go ahead with fans because of the restrictions in Glasgow, but I don’t see any reason why ours wouldn’t.

“I haven’t been told of any change.

“We haven’t been stipulated what number we will be allowed, because it’s up to the government to come back and tell us – but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s between 500 and 700.

“Because it’s a test event, we don’t have a say in how many. We have put the plan to the civil servants but we are waiting to hear back.”

Should the test events be successful, the Scottish government could rubber stamp the partial return of crowds to all football fixtures from Monday, September 14.

The only Scottish sporting event to be trialled in front of crowds so far was Edinburgh’s Pro14 rugby match against Glasgow Warriors, which was played in front of 700 fans at Murrayfield last weekend.

Although MacGregor is hopeful of being permitted a bigger capacity following the trial event, he feels the test will be a crucial exercise.

He added: “I think the important areas are the car park areas, getting people through turnstiles correctly, and then people sit in the right seat when they go into the ground due to track and trace.

“We would rather see it in a smaller environment to allow us to check it out.

“We need to make sure we are on the ball, and stewards get people into the right seats.”

So it seems fairly clear that the 14th September deadline for getting fans back into grounds isn't going to be hit.
Have the Government/JRG announced any update regarding that date?

Aberdeen have just said they're expecting the go-ahead for a test event with 300 this weekend and then to be allowed 750 the following weekend.
