Great to hear supporters are to be allowed back into the grounds albeit at significantly reduced numbers, what is very disappointing to hear though, is that the first two test matches will involve both of the bigot brothers.
The powers that be in Scottish fitba never cease to amaze me with their habitual pandering to these two vile institutions that ruin our game and embarrass the country at home and abroad on a regular basis
The bizarre thing is they have most fans to annoy by not being on the list to go in. We have about 5k season ticket holders and a ground that holds over 14k...
we're fine IMO, plenty options to spread out our support possible reason they chunts are the trial run is due to the fact its a logistical nightmare to spread out 50k season ticket holdersQuote:

Think that’s the plan anyway, test matches the week before and if all goes ok we should start seeing supporters inside TannadiceQuote:

So to be clear, we are heading for fans being allowed into games with social distancing, and understandably, that is to be restricted to a limited amount of ST holders only, initially. Now i expect to see a bit more to be clarified in the coming weeks, but.....
Does that mean that those who are unable to attend will not have the option of PPV?
Would ST holders unable to attend for whatever reason have the option of streaming the matches?
For the foreseeable future, i dont think away support should be permitted to travel, so will PPV be available for them/us?
I ask this as i believe PPV will be ending when supporters are allowed in, which i see as a disgrace as you alienate the majority of the Scottish Football support by excluding them. Until all restrictions are removed to allow supporters in, PPV should be allowed to stay.
I'm hoping given the fact we're a 14k stadium with 6000 ST's we'll not have any ST holders not able to attend, especially after the survey and the 'bubble' part allowing family etc to sit together so no need for gaps in seatsQuote:

No idea about PPV, i would say they would be mad to bin that until away fans are allowed in, which i think wont be till aboot November
We were told that if you are unable to attend because of the pandemic then you can stream, even if others have been selected to attend. If your are selected to attend but don't then I don't think you can stream it. That's how I understand it anyway.Quote:

All sorts of implications for clubs. Do United through no fault of anyone have to return the 1/19th season ticket value for closed door games as surely allowing say only 20% of season tickets in amounts to that.
If last night is a gauge on anything, then i thought i saw that 700 rugby supporters were in the 67000 seater Murrayfield. What does that actually go on to prove?Quote:

Its not an issue for us as we would rather be at as many home games as we can, but i can see football supporters throughout Scotland turning their back on attending games due to recent events, including Covid and Chuckys adventures!
PPV may just be keeping supporters on side, and stopping that when a select few are allowed in, may turn some off for an extended period, if not for good.
