Or is it more likely the SPL will the hold it back as late as possible so the supporters can get in? This would be unfair to other teams, if walk-ups were allowed, giving one of the sisters access to additional cash income. Just using them as an example as, sadly, they would attract a bigger crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential to print money for them with the added bonus of reduced security costs etc. I bet Police Scotland would be greatful for closed doors to, given the recent events around George Square.....

Wee_Eck1979 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I'd say there would be an increase in security numbers as thousands of fans would descend on Ibrox/Parkhead anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Scottish Premiership clubs could face playing four games in eight days next season, the SPFL has warned. The league body will also speak to Sky Sports about not scheduling matches on Sundays before Scotland's Euro 2020 play-offs to ease the burden. The January winter break has been scrapped to accommodate postponed European and international fixtures. "The stress on the SPFL fixture calendar next season is going to be enormous," secretary Iain Blair said. "There is a very real risk that several teams will be forced to play four matches in eight days - and perhaps more than once - which would be a nightmare for players and fans alike. "I'm afraid to say there are real and justified fears over the resilience of the forthcoming current fixture schedule, given everything the game is dealing with currently." Clarke has 'very positive' talks with Dykes 'Delayed qualifiers will benefit Celtic' Pick your all-time Scotland XI The league says there are only 34 available fixture dates to complete the 33 pre-split rounds of games, leaving little room for Scottish Cup replays or weather-enforced postponements. Last season's Scottish Cup is still to completed on top of other domestic, international and European fixtures. Scotland face eight games in three months from September as they play their postponed Euro 2020 play-off with Israel and Nations League matches. Head coach Steve Clarke has maintained he would like league matches before the play-off to be postponed, and Blair says the Scottish FA want two rounds delayed before the Israel match on 8 October. But he added despite the SPFL being "very keen" to help, it is "simply not possible" due to the current congestion. "We have committed to liaising with Sky Sports to encourage them to avoid scheduling live matches on the Sunday before the Scotland games, unless that fixture has been shifted to the Sunday because of Uefa Europa League commitments the previous midweek." No winter break, a home game against St. Mirren on 2nd or 3rd would be good. Guaranteed this will be a severe winter when we have no break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenwick Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Cold Firm derby would normally be around fixture 9 - 10 or after so they can build it up as potential title decider even though there is still 20 odd fixtures still to go. Plus how can they transmit the sectarianism if its behind closed doors. would mean someone playing orange walk or republican equivalent through the tannoy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee_Eck1979 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Watch us schedule one game a week in August and September then try to fit in all the other matches when the weather is crap, just like every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenwick Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Surely better to schedule less at start when fans can't attend & more when the can as i'm sure i've heard football without fans is nothing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Will be another different kind of season ahead.....lack of usual preseason games or Betfred fixtures, no winter break , Higher number of midweek games with extra dates available as countries allowed to schedule their top league games on CL nights without any financial penalty ...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we have friendlies last season? Was that the one where we played a 'pub team' the week prior to the hun game? We could play married men against the singletons like we did in training in Malta in the early 90s i suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Might be said it’s the same for every season , but we really do need to get off to a decent start in the league this time around and too see evidence that there is reasons for optimism this season . Clubs will have the odd closed door friendlies before season start but most clubs will still take a few weeks of the league to get match sharp and used to the conditions Home start v likes of a Ross County or Hamilton would be ok , and perhaps getting away game next in Glasgow ......Given will be a fair few weeks / months before even some fans are allowed back would hope for a few more away than home in the first month or so 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposed to play stewarton United at RP until there was a massive furore and they then put out the youth team. Did we no play Motherwell behind closed doors just after? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
