plymouthranger 3,862 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Big loss when the likes of Talbot are dropping out. Can’t see how the leagues go ahead if they’re missing most of the bigger sides, plus no coach travel allowed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC 12,256 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I saw Glenafton had pulled out,hadnt seen others. New start, new league for the west of Scotland and now that's fucked as well. I expect to see spfl teams doing the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,055 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Just got sent the Talbot statement.....sad times indeed, the Juniors rely on crowds to keep them going so it isn't really a suprise that clubs are choosing this course of action Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yet you look at England, and non league sides are allowed a socially distanced crowd if the average attendance is under a certain figure. I can't see why junior football and SPFL Lg 2 sides aren't allowed some crowds. Particularly if you look across Europe with the NL fixtures, 10 000 in Belgium last week and many countries allowing distancing crowds. This needs to be re-evaluated by the Scottish Government soon.

Their were 1000 fans at the french open final plenty of whom were actually sitting next to each other.....we seem to be going backwards in our pursuit of trying to get some normality back where crowds are concerned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I don't think most of the clubs that voted to go ahead with the season really expect to be able to see it out under the current conditions . From what I've seen , it's not only the fans gate money that is a problem , but more the fact that changing facilities are very limited , players are changing in cars ffs ! but all the other conditions regarding testing etc are all costly and time consuming for a set up that relies on volunteers (mainly elderly ) giving up their time . If the bigger set ups like Talbot , Pollok & Arthurlie have decided that It's not worth the hassle for little to no reward this season , then I don't hold out much hope that some of the smaller outfits can continue to put teams on the park .
