For a pie, drink etc, then donate to the club? Or is that a bit much? Could up their subs to TiK temporarily or even join it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 We have the Trust money which we (the members) have contributed to. I wouldn't be averse to donating that to the club to make up for gate money. I'm assuming that the money for the disabled area has already been ring fenced ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accies and Livi maybe even St Johnstone all have low home supports. Large away gates must make a substantial contribution to their income. Would imagine they would be the ones in the top flight most at risk at the moment. Sevco have been on the brink for long enough. I’m not even sure they keep accounts anymore just pick random numbers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty66 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 If gatherings of 500 people are to be banned then some local junior clubs might benefit from professional games being called off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to see how this would work if usual attendance is 300 but on the day 600 turn up because the pro games are off what happens. Also there is a greater risk by having 500 people crammed in to a junior ground than having 4500 at Rugby Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dutch have set the number at 100. You get more than that at weddings, funerals. Edited March 12, 2020 by Wrangodog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching a closed door game is a very poor imitation for the real thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride_of_ayrshire Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Should it happen the games will not be shown in Bars as it draws people out. Its most likely to be streamed to ticket holders through apps like Twitter. That what they're planning in England tho. May be different here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would get a hefty payment in walk ups and match revenue from all the mutants who attend. If Sevco have no recmcenue coming in they're absolutely screwed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
