On a clear night we have a stunning view of the stars from our garden on Islay as we do not have street lights outside our house.
A lack of street lighting at Machrihanish should have resulted in a stunning night sky providing is was not cloudy.

Think where I was is a dark sky zone or something some of the least light pollution in the UK.

I am sure that there is a part of Galloway which is classed as a Dark Sky Zone to encourage tourists to stay in the local area and look at the stars at night.
The island of Coll is also classed as a Dark Sky Zone as it has no street lighting.
That is fine providing it is not cloudy.

lots of positive chat about fans being allowed to watch games mid September. I think we should be working out how a maximum of 4k Dee fans could use all the stands in our ground. We should also be trying to sell online screening to Away supporters so that we get some revenue from them. 1000 fans on TV at £7 per view would give us £7k, the equivalent of 300 fans at £23 each and maybe over 500 fans if there was a mix of concessions and full price fans.

It will be totally unacceptable if social distancing will mean that by not including the Shankly for use by our ST Holders at least we can't get everyone of them at the game. We have got at least 10 weeks to work this out. all the seats are on a computer based allocation system and it just need some time spent on working out what to do. If we can use the social distancing methodology to demonstrate a safe allocation of seats then no Government can complain, imo i might even suggest that tickets should be on sale for Dee supporters who are not ST holders and encourage them to go to the Shankly,

Yesterday I noticed that Livingston FC are charging £20 to view a home game online for matches that are not televised live on SKY.
At that price I would not bother.

iSLAY, this is tremendous news, rather than criticise the price, which I have taken to be the object of your comment, I think we should be jumping up and down to find out how they are able to do that.

We have got to stir ourselves and find ways to generate income for the club from the matches themselves. I could see a high price being charged by Livi because they will still be interested in selling Season tickets. too low a price might encourage people to buy the online experience rather than go to the bother of turning up.

I don't think people have realised the danger of very reduced income for the Championship sides. We have to get on the case, and make sure that we explore every avenue to generate funds for our club. Selling online coverage, if it is possible for Livi, should be possible for DFC IMO.

It was announced on Thursday that the SPFL had given permission to all Premier League clubs to televise their home games live and charge a fee to anyone wanting to watch it online. The only exception is that they cannot do this when their home games are televised live on SKY.
I suspect that the SPFL will give same permission to the remaining 30 clubs when their leagues start on 17th October with the only exception being if their home game is televised live on the BBC Scotland channel.

Only 300 in the Derry is a wet dream for most respected.

Curious Islay on a scale of 1 to 10 how sair/painful/mildly discomforting.....was this test.

I put a cauld at 2, an Asthma attack at 5, tweaked ankle ligaments 1, displaced pupil 8, watching Randy Wolters 9.

watching Randy Wolters 9.

Off the scale for me.

I put a cauld at 2, an Asthma attack at 5, tweaked ankle ligaments 1, displaced pupil 8, watching Randy Wolters 9.

The swab at the back of my throat was 5.
The swab up my nostril into my nasal canal was 9. It was even more painful than having a catheter fitted.
