It has been revealed by Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack has revealed the club tried to get a 5% capacity fan test for the Celtic game on Sunday but it has been thrown out by the Scottish government.
In an increasingly ludicrous stance, outdoor venues with extensive precautions at low capacities are still not allowed to go ahead while we see cinemas open and flights going ahead in close quarters.
Cormack seemed disgruntled by the news football us again being held back when the likes of Aberdeen and Celtic are doing all they can to get supporters back into stadiums.
Supported by Aberdeen City Council we applied for a second test event versus Celtic to include 1,000 fans, just 5% capacity, out in the open fresh air. Got a polite "no" from @scotgov @jasonleitch stating our first test was a success & latest plan was robust & in excellent shape.

Celtic have sent out surveys and have even brought high tech sanitising equipment to further protect the fans upon a return.
Right now, it’s anyone’s guess when we can start to trickle back into games. It appears no matter what football does, they’re not being trusted by the Government.
