I had a conversation yesterday about what the world will be like when lockdown is lifted. We agreed it will not be lifted all at once. Small private gatherings will be permitted first, then restaurants, cinemas and eventually bars. The last thing to be released from lockdown will be football stadiums.
When you consider how football fans shout, sing and embrace, normal attendance at games will not be possible while the virus exists and large parts of the population remain in mortal danger. Thousands of spectators cross-contaminating will not be allowed to happen until the virus is eradicated or a vaccine is distributed. This could take years.
Around 90% of the football industry across Europe may go out of business before selling another match ticket. Scotland would be left with Celtic and the community clubs, who can furlough every member of staff, get a grant for the rates and rent out their pitch to youth teams to pay insurance and utility bills.
This is just one small unthinkable thing in a seemingly imperious industry that is very thinkable in 2020. Similar consequences will be replicated in other industries across the world. If football wants to survive, it has to get innovative very quickly.
Facemasks, visors, gloves, a shedload of new rules on behaviour permitted at a football ground, alcohol gel dispensers everywhere and cashless kiosks are all things clubs should be planning for. It would be a mistake to assume the game we are familiar with will return at any point in the next year. Your football stadium experience will either be very different, or it will not happen for a long time.

DAVID17-my wife knew about the sec and old folks homes in bothwell/udingston set up 2weeks ago.She actually went to our local church and primary school for tables and chairs to put in the the places.She is now being asked to go to her patients home instead of them coming to the clinic.Iwould hope she’s being kept up to date.
Everyone please stay as safe as you can

I stayed up all night to see where the sun went- then it dawned on me.
I’m reading a book about anti-gravity..I just can’t put it down.

A work colleagues father sadly passed away at the Uddingston home, from COVID. Immediate family only were allowed at the funeral, a truly terrible situation.
DAVID1958. @ 7.56
I like the cut of your jib 👍
DAVID17-my wife doesn’t work in there.And it might not be the same care home.They had a day where anyone who had the correct car insurance were asked to deliver essentials to the care home.Sad news about your friends dad.
I suggest they should have been in panic mode in February when it would have been helpful and saved a few thousand lives.
—-
na, cos panic mode usually means loads of rashly thrown in ‘solutions’ by all those involved so has a tendancy to make matters worse and not better
im sure plenty of folk can relate to that from their own workplace
The media in this Country are S### scared of that mob from Ibrox.
Radio Clyde earlier ” great statement from rangers”.
They all know saying anything against THEM makes them targets.
Make ye puke so it would.
Had to laugh at this from the truly hopeless Ann Budge,
”Government can change the Laws of the Land, within 24 hours, to cope with this crisis, then surely it cannot be impossible for Scottish Football’s Governing bodies to modify rules to get things done.”
Let that sink in for a moment, bottom Club seeks rule change to stay in top division.
In other words we’ve been total s**** please change the rules to save us.
Appreciate she is trying to deflect Hearts failures onto the SPFL and angling for reconstruction, but good grief.
Think this is definitely one of these times where we let them say what they want.
Never interrupt a fool.
Stay safe 🍀

Hello again all you young rebels.
From a beautiful sunny Melbourne suburbs.
Oz government warning people to stay of the beaches this
Easter weekend and not get complacent about social distancing.
Thankfully the cold weather anticipated then will keep the
nutjobs in the hoose.
Welcome DAVID 1958 you’ve already been asked that all important
initiation question so i won’t bother, so more importantly do you
prefer your cheese roasted or toasted?

Scandal of gigantic proportion regarding the cruise ship
berthed in Sydney with covid sufferers onboard.
And who was it allowed hundreds of infected to go ashore?
Police raided the ship last night to collect a black box?
I thought only planes had them.
15 poor souls dead now from that ship and 10% of the
nations infected through that crazy decision to let passengers
off.
Heads must roll for this.
