Of anything, football fans should be using this crisis to their advantage.

Demand a better match day experience.. food delivered to seats etc rather than being herded into ridiculous queues for minging pies. For countries that use VAR.. play music and have fan cams etc whilst the decision is being screwed up by the officials (Assuming it's in England).

American sports tend to be a bit crap to watch, but they really know how to cater to their supporters. About time we did so here too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Right

So when football is about to be plunged into its darkest financial days you think this is possible?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How difficult is it too play some music for a few seconds, or deliver food to seats instead of expecting fans to queue?

Doesn't require too many extra staff, and fans will likely buy more as they don't have to juggle it all the way back to their seat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stewards will huckle them for standing in the aisles

Folk still need to go to the loo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just seems odd that America has absolutely no issues with it despite many of their arenas and stadia being smaller in size.

Football fans are offered a shocking service for the price we pay. Clubs could make so much more money on match days by actually catering to fans and making it easier to buy food, drink, and matchday souvenirs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They are completely different in design so no, it's not the same nor is it as simplistically practical as you seem to think.

When were you last at Pittodrie, Tynecastle, Easter Road or pretty much anywhere? Virtually impossible to have some bloke in an apron and peaked cap with a tray of popcorn wandering up and down the well laid out and spacious slopes of our stadia.

And that's before you get into the weather or the fan base.

Correct. If they didn't offer it fans wouldn't go.

However, also, if there's no stadium parking they won't go either. Invariably there's no public transport anyway.

Americans don't need to be p!shed or jaked to act like @rseholes.

Sigh.

Yes. Yes it does. Now consider a response to my overall answer instead of picking out the Captain blindingly fwcking Obvious bit.

Crucially they get a different rain, however.

Wettest city in US* - Mobile, AL - 69" over 59 rain days

West of Scotland - 70" over 191 rain days!

* outside of Alaska & Hawaii that don't count and some mountain areas of Oregon & Washington

BTW, Houston, TX, 9th wettest city - 50" in 90 rain days, East Scotland - 47" in rain 161 days

Many folk think Texas is some arid desert if they only watched Dallas in the 70s

Air corridor's good news for the sun-worshippers.

Give us a bit more elbow room in the UK.

Trunk roads in Scotland real busy now.

I had the A82 North out of Glasgow to myself for over 2 months.

It was jumping this afternoon heading south.

The Dutch are planning to allow fans back to the games soon.

1.5m distancing and no singing or chanting.

Sounds great....
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So you now recognise that countries are considering allowing fans in?

Wide open fresh air spaces - no fans in Scotland.

Rationalise that
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've never not recognised it

Unlike you I do my research, which extends beyond reading the Daily Mail and Telegraph
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't read either of those rags

And trust me I've done so much research on risk assessment. Do it every day
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Should I allow lauders to meet my colleagues*

Yeah he's not very good at it but he does do it everyday

You were the only one in the bottom right corner of the scoring matrix on a 12 x 12 assessment 😂

Currently on Rangers radar is Niklas Dorsch, 22 of Heidenheim.

With a release clause of around £3 million in his contract, Rangers would not have to break the bank to sign a player compared with not only Kroos but also Goretzka, Delaney and Matthaus this summer.

Mental comparisons as usual but the type of player I would be happy to see us sign if used properly

There’s a very well laid out list of countries with the conditions you can travel to and from with a note to each and every single one stating whether that country reciprocates or whether they require different rules.

Apparently it’s an utter mess and extremely difficult to understand for us as Scots and the Welsh. Very confusing indeed I’m told by eminent leaders.

I have to say it looked simple enough for me to understand but then again I’ve been to the Algarve.

We're still not allowed to drink outside whereas the rest of Scotland (Dundee aside) are. Definition of discrimination.

Really?

You mean. No. Can’t be.

A localised lockdown?

But I thought that was a sign that things weren’t working
