Prso's headband 34,983 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 SFA put forward proposals for 12,000-15,000 at Hampden for the Euros in June. Approved by the Scottish Government no problem at all. Meanwhile there’s not a single effort to attempt to get fans into any domestic game until then as far as we are all aware. Shameful really and reeks of political point scoring again. Aberdeen have been pushing this a lot and have been rejected numerous times, even for as little as 300 fans. Where do we go from here? Is everyone just happy to allow this to happen or should clubs be pushing for fans in soon as test events before the Euros?. I imagine however that the government will be more than happy to use the National team friendlies as test events anyway. surfsup2, RDB14, alibali59 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t work though unless all season ticket holders are getting in, how they going to decide who is allowed in otherwise? Be unfair to select certain fans and leave out others dbyst, King Jela, sRcFoCt and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be unfair to select certain fans and leave out others They’ve got to do something though, I agree with that it would be all or nothing but Rangers are a business and being able to bring in any match day money with 20% or 50% of fans will and should be explored. Something has to happen, fans need to see some sort of progress domestically TamCoopz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely political and the scot gov haven't wasted a second in using football as a political tool.

King Jela 20,015 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 The only way they could do it fairly was if they allowed half the capacity in for each home game that way everybody would get at least 2 games. No way is Ibrox getting 25k at a time approved though. graeme_4, BookWorm and Bearsden bear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkytfp1 18,476 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 There should be a lottery with an opt out option. Some ST holders who are high risk may not want to go until they feel safer.
