Who sets crowd limits

[hmac]

It's 2000 Forfar in the Bobby Cox then 2000 behind each goal from St Mirren game. South Enclosure can't be used as it only has one exit gate and no door on the toliets

Asda only has one exit door and can accommodate over 500 people, why not the South Enclosure?

"Where a venue has more than 16,000 seats, as well as standing areas, they can choose to admit 10,000 people or 25% of seated capacity (whichever is lower) who must remain seated for the competition event, or to admit 4,000 people or 50% of total seated and standing capacity (whichever is lower) who can be seated or standing, as long as social distancing can be maintained effectively."
DCC can dictate what they deem to be effective social distancing

No mention of face coverings? So what people have been saying about these not being required outdoors where social distancing is effectively maintained is correct?

Makes the treatment of fans by the bullying hi viz gestapo seem even worse.

Club should address this.

Dispersing at large crowd at the same time is the issue. it's unlikely 500 people will leave ASDA at exactly the same time.

I think there is a general principle that you need to provide a circular route to access and leave premises. Been recently to a local hotel where you walked in the front door and were encouraged to leave by the restaurant fire door exit. Same situation with our church, go in front door, exit via side door.

Then there would be more exits available as there are things called fire exits that are not used for general entrance and exit

here's what is says

Face coverings for sport facilities

People are not required to wear face coverings while taking part in sport and physical activity. All forms of face coverings may restrict breathing efficiency and should not be used during exercise except on specific advice from a physician.

Visitors are not required to wear face coverings in sport facilities, however they should be encouraged to wear face coverings in public areas when not engaging in sport or physical activity.

However, face coverings may be required in specific areas. Face coverings must be worn by staff and visitors in public-facing roles. If this applies to your facility, you are required to remind customers to wear face coverings where they are required.

Cheers, confirms then that this bullying of fans by Jim's high vis Gestapo over the enforced wearing of face coverings has been wrong.

I say again, club should address this.

It confirms that the club or DCC can ask people to wear masks as a condition of entry. It says "face coverings must be worn by staff and visitors in public facing roles"

Not meaning to argue with you as you're actually delivering some good info - buuuutttt

What is the massive hole between the South Stand and the pitch which leads to multiple possible exits from the stadium in the event of an emergency if not a huge fire exit? If there's a fire or other emergency situation in there will Jim's Gestapo be stopping people leaving the stand by that route. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised to see them try but in reality they'd look as daft doing it as the Wembley steward who tried to stop Leonardo Bonucci getting back to the pitch on Sunday - and they'd likely be running in the opposite direction anyway.
