Listening to Sturgeon speak as I type this, she’s just come out of the Cobra meeting, she has just said that the Scottish Government will be ADVISING that events over 500 be cancelled where there is a big strain on front line forces i.e. ambulance service, police force. Could Scottish Ice Hockey still continue then? This will take effect from Monday so some of the Scottish clubs have 1-2 games left after that, so it’s not to bad. Fife and Dundee could probably open to season ticket holders which probably are in the 500 range. Think it’s a bit silly to pull this trigger so far when only 65 people in Scotland are infected. Well yes,it’s very silly. How many people infected in England,about 550 is it out of 60 odd million people. In my opinion the reaction is way OTT.

The media are out of control you should see certain people on Twitter throwing their toys out of their prams because the uk aint doing this that and the other it's a little embarrassing

If you're trying to slow the speed of it spreading, there's not much point waiting until it's already spread. Although, as mentioned earlier, the Scottish "ban" seems to be more about removing a job for the emergency services.
Yes, there's some overreaction (Sainsbury's completely out of arse wipe this evening, unbelievable), but the likelihood is quite a lot of people are going to die from this in the next few months, so people getting a bit twitchy about it isn't all that surprising.

As they explained, the point will come where we are forced to baton down the hatches but they believe to do so right now would be damaging, people will run out of enthusiasm for self-isolation and they believe it could put us in a worse situation. Whatever the government do or suggest, they will be criticised.

At the minute there is only 1 person out of every 115,000 people infected in the UK. Or in other words 0.00000873% of the population. That is minuscule. The reaction is totally OTT at present.

The attitude on here has been laughable by some imo, bordering on pure ignorance. While my very first post on the topic was slightly tongue in cheek it has ALL materialized in the space of ONE week.... & it was obviously all going to happen.
The denial from some people of how serious this could be & their much inflated opinion of the importance of Ice Hockey & other sports in this & other coutries is quite frankly hilarious.
Cancel sport, in this Country, over a common cold?!?! How very dare they!!!
Edit - One week, not three.

Sat in the airport waiting for the flight, tucking into the first beer, perfect timing for the announcement😂
Safety comes first though so if the the league felt the need then so be it. Hopefully we can make a weekend out of it!

Apparently The Play Offs are going to be rescheduled.
Personally I don't see how.
Possible smokescreen

Which is fair enough considering. I would imagine they want to go down the route of the magic weekend, challenge cup weekend idea. Bang out a quick release today saying more news next week to allow then time to think and put some details together. Probably means tickets purchased remain valid for the event, but if you want a refund you can have one. Cant see it actually being play offs
