blueballss 2,969 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 From BBC Sport site as dont want them to get hits There will be no fans inside Hampden Park for next month's Scottish Cup final. The 22 May showpiece will be held just three weeks before 12,000 supporters will be able to watch Scotland's first match at the European Championships inside the same stadium. But the ground comes under Uefa event control from 14 May. And Europe's governing body will have already started preparation work for Euro 2020 before the final. The Scottish government on Wednesday gave approval for Hampden to accommodate 25% of the stadium's capacity for four matches scheduled there during the finals. Hampden given go-ahead for 12,000 Euros fans Uefa had given the 12 host cities until Wednesday to submit plans for fan attendance, with the likelihood of some venues being switched if no guarantees could be given. A final decision from the governing body is likely to come on Friday, with Scotland due to face Czech Republic on 14 June. The Scottish FA reached an agreement with Uefa that allows the domestic final to go ahead at the national stadium. However, as part of that agreement, no fans are allowed due to preparation work in the stands. Under the Scottish government's Covid plans, large events can take place with some fans from 17 May, but it now seems unlikely there will be any football test events before Scotland kick off in their first major tournament since 1998. Disinfection pods and vaccine passports are not expected to be used for the matches at Hampden, Scotland's national clinical director has said. However, while Professor Jason Leitch stressed that "the detail has still to be worked out", he said: "I think there will be some what we call non-pharmaceutical interventions in place. "I imagine there will be distanced queuing, I imagine we will control public transport differently from how we do it and people will be distanced in the stadium, so tickets will be distributed in groups if we manage to get to that point where we've got 12,000 people in the stadium." Prof Leitch said decisions about face coverings are still to be made and that Uefa rules as well as Scottish regulations must be considered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianb1547 3,767 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Seems common sense to me...hand over your national stadium to another body days before the culmination of the oldest football cup competition in the world. So here is what happens now There will be no fans inside Hampden Park for next month's Scottish Cup final. The 22 May showpiece will be held just three weeks before 12,000 supporters will be able to watch Scotland's first match at the European Championships inside the same stadium. But the ground comes under Uefa event control from 14 May. But this was the plan...months ago (taking covid into account) The Scottish Cup Final, traditionally the last game of the campaign, will take place before the end of the league season - according to SPFL secretary Iain Blair. A similar scenario was set for 2019/20 before football in Scotland was halted by the coronavirus pandemic. "In terms of the end of the season and the Euros, the Euros are going to start on June 11," he told BBC Sportsound. "We'll be finished long before then. Our football normally finishes in the second last week of May - it'll be one week earlier in season 2020/21. "We'll be finished by the middle of May. That's to allow for the play offs after the end of the season and that's to allow for the Europa League and Champions League Finals, then you're into the June international break. "The one impact it has had that we expected it to have - we planned for this in 19/20 and planning for it again - is that Hampden is clearly a venue for the Euros. "There is a stipulation in the agreement to use Hampden that it has to be free from all football for a considerable period before those first games. "So, the Scottish Cup Final - and this I do know, despite the stuff going on - will be on the weekend of May 8. "We will have to fixture rounds after that. The Scottish Cup Final will not be the final fixture of the season. "We've had that before, when we had the UEFA Cup here, we've had it for occasions." So, even thought they planned for it...they still ballsed it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if that is ever going to happen fuck sake. Sometimes things in life aren't fair, if the club decide they want fans in to satisfy test criteria then we should support them on this imo. It's then up to the club to appease the fans who miss out. To be honest i'd not even care that much if I missed out after what the team have given us this season.

I think the club will need to show they can manage in a test environment before they get full capacity safety certificate, it's far from ideal but really under the circumstances we should be supporting every effort the club is making to get fans back inside. If that means in dribs and drabs then so be it. I really can't see it going from closed doors to 50k immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
