Widely reported this morning, test events to happen in coming weeks, fans to be allowed in when English season starts on Sept 12, full rollout expected for October.
Football fans to return to stadiums next month

If all goes well down South, she can’t possibly say no to fans in stadiums, she basically follows suit with directives from down South, just with her own slant on it.

Claims to be ITK - Is not ITK
Even if we have limited numbers it’s a good start to get people back through the turnstiles.
As said above, it won’t be implemented in Scotland for months yet unfortunately.

England as just storming ahead regardless - as much as I want to see fans back in stadiums this seems like madness.
Got a link for this?

The truth is, like everything else about this pandemic, no-one knows for sure what's going to happen.

Don’t think he’s too wide of the mark mate considering the lower leagues have been told to stop training.
I do obviously hope he’s wrong though.

Now comes the tricky part...
Who gets in and who doesnt?

It's fact mate, nothing to do with optimism.

I think with schools going back and society in general.. That numbers will be going up in coming weeks and that any decent amount of numbers allowed in to a game wont happen ( testing only worth if it's like 20000/30000 at Ibrox ) and it won't be anything like that.. Might be ok at small grounds

Was she ever going to allow it?
She's turned Covid into an exercise on totalitarian rule. Her finger is so far from being on the pulse of the nation it's truly frightening.

If you're nervous about going don't go but for those that want to should be able to
Risk sitting basically outside at a football match is much less than indoors in a bar or restaurant

Be very surprised to be back in Ibrox this year.
We were told Oct at the earliest that's a fact! Given the outbreak in Aberdeen, and there will be a 2nd wave you can guarantee that, there will be no fans till next year. Hospitality at best.

Basing medical decisions on public opinion is definitely not the way to go.

Not necessarily true. Gyms in England opened the 25th of July, with no outbreaks due to them opening since.
Gyms in Scotland are scheduled for 14th of September, 7 weeks after England.
I wouldn’t rely on Sturgeon being 2 weeks behind England at all.

If you’ve seen the state of Edmiston Drive there’ll be no crowd in Ibrox for a while.

Jason Leitch has stated test events with limited crowds will take place in September to trial one way systems and various other restrictions that will need to be in place.
I think there has obviously been some sort of verbal communication to those in charge of Scottish football that crowds will likely be back in October.
It’s no coincidence that last seasons Scottish cup semis, our trip to the piggery and the lower leagues that have no tv deals so rely on crowds are all pencilled in for October.

Its not fact for goodness sake, it was fact according to some that there would be no football at all this year of any kind.
I'm not so sure. Although case numbers are continuing each day, the hospital cases are not going up and no one is dying.

she has with driving lessons. They started back in England on 4th July. Up here we’re not allowed to until 24th August. She’s a cow.
I doubt we'll get any more than test size crowds this year.
We'll see what happens after Christmas but that is more down to what the virus has decided to do rather than anything else.
I am just treating getting back to Ibrox this season for any game at any time (even if it is at the tail end of he season) as a huge bonus.

Hopefully allowed back in from October 18th. That’s the date I think we will all be safe and also the date after the old firm at the piggery.

I reckon we will be one of the stadiums used for test events with the lucky fans able to attend wearing a mask.
Hopefully it all runs smoothly and we are all able to get to a few games. Hopefully they'll be fair about it and it be names out of a hat like the away tickets used to be and everyone who has bought a season ticket has a chance of getting in

Think the recent spate of reinfections will delay this. Boris is a bit foolhardy here there is a spike all across Europe now isn’t the time to do this.

We'll be lucky if Sturgeon allows games to go ahead.

Utter bollocks. There's no guarantee whatsoever of a second wave.
James Bisgrove said there could be a phased return of fans late August/September.
Again, no-one knows for sure.

That's exactly what needs to happen. Sadly our SNP compliant media won't. No one wants to be that person that puts Herr Sturgeon on the spot.

Can't see it. The bigger clubs have fans coming from all over the place. Unless there's a way the limited numbers can come from a restrictive area there's the potential to spread an infection all over the place. Look at how the Sheep City outbreak is being linked to the Orkney cluster.
