An interesting development .........

..... potentially.
Perhaps a small chink of light, in that ray of hope ?
Fingers crossed ?

I’ve just read, possibly gates restricted to 30% of ground capacity. Only heresay and supposition as opposed to fact and of course plenty of other factors to be taken on-board from both a logistical and safety point of view. However on the point of Gate restrictions, thirty percent capacity will be acceptable to most, if not all Step 4 & 5 clubs, probably most Step 3 too?

What is the official ground capacity at Barnton?

 

[Mark Dutton]

Don’t know Paul, but working backwards to allow a crowd 300 it would only need to be around 1000

 

[Edge]

What's the ground rating?

Cat F:There is no minimum capacity at this level but a club should be mindful that the minimum requirement for Grade D is 1300.

Cat E: The Stadium must have a minimum capacity of 1,000, calculated by a competent person in accordance with the guidance given in the “Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds” (Green Guide), current edition at the time of inspection.

Cat D The Stadium must have a minimum capacity of 1,300 calculated by a competent person in accordance with the guidance given in the “Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds” (Green Guide), current edition at the time of inspection. There must also be potential to increase the capacity to 1950 in the future.

Would help a little if they could temporarily open up behind the far goal.
