Prso's headband 35,440 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,633 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Think Rangers will be onto the government asking for trophy day to be a test event Tav yesterday in his RTV interview says he hopes fans might be back for trophy day. 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 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 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,361 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be done fairly mate that's just the truth of it if we can get 3 or 4 thousand in for trophy day that's better than nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkytfp1 18,594 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. Nobody could argue with a lottery for ST holders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,328 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 They'll do what the English FA are doing and use the semi finals / final as test events IMO. Being at Hampden will suit them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
