What a slap in the faces to all fans of football playing behind closed doors and all these clubs will be expecting the fans to flock back probably paying a bit extra for the privilege 

I see Bobby Seith has had to have a leg amputated at the grand old age of 88 a fine right half in a great Dundee team and a coach at  Rangers under Scot Symon

looks like he's looking for a job at parkhead

Maybe I am being an optimist but this now has the makings of blowing Scottish football wide open.... and that will be something that Doncaster, McKenzie, Shifty, Lawwell & Celtic will be very, very keen to prevent from happening.

And prevent it they probably will by threats and promises to all the Rangers haters out there

Key points according to The Sun 

 

• Gers accuse chief executive Neil Doncaster of holding back key information from clubs and being ‘the guiding hand’ who determined the league’s actions.
• They claim the SPFL could be liable for up to £10million in refunds to broadcasters by ending the season prematurely.
• Gers say Doncaster suggested the SPFL handed over a sponsorship deal to Sky Sports which was significantly below the league’s market value.
• They question why SPFL lawyer Rod McKenzie issued four ‘cease and desist’ requests to Ibrox chairman Douglas Park - insisting he blocked their bid for a new resolution.
• They query a letter sent to UEFA outlining how Scotland’s clubs wanted the season over before any vote had taken place.
• And they insist there are still unanswered questions on why Dundee performed a voting U-turn.

 

The plot thickens 

Everything is rising so if we want to compete even in the Mickey mouse SPl we will all have to pay more 

Excellent 

I suppose the club have realised that things might never be the same after this virus sponsors will be spending less prize money meagre as it is will be less European competition may have to be shortened less matches less money again lower money on offer this wont have as much an impact on the so called giants but we are now anything but a big club these days so we have to make hay while the sun shines we might even see the capacity of stadiums slashed .

Look at the greedy league or the English premiership all that money the clubs have raked in over the years and I would bet not one has a healthy balance sheet probably the opposite because they have all been mismanaged for year thinking the gravy train would never stop well it looks like its been derailed and lots of then down south are in panic mode .

The plot thickens ?

Really, I don't want to write this; BUT :

 

Loyalty?

 

Reference Bar'72, I penned in an earlier piece that I have been a member since day one. There appears to be a recognition/realisation the Bar'72 seats are some of the best in the Stadium. The club want to maximise revenue. Corporate elements have targeted the seats. 

 

We received an e-mail telling us of proposed Bar'72 improvements? Basically, a complimentary pint/pie/programme, a Q and A with a former player conducted by an appointed MC, a lanyard and attached security clearance card, a designated bean counter, ...... etc. The rise will be 35%, my ticket will be £1,500; thus in cash terms, an increase of in excess of £350. Only when you accept and renew, you receive a PDF brochure. You are informed of a 7.5% loyalty reduction. Further, the increase for the next season will be even larger. Season 21/22 will cost me £2,400.

 

There is a principle involved here. If you cannot afford either rise, you lose your seat. However, you are punished twice because the club will fit you in, where seats are available. We know there is a waiting list, and those seats available will be few, and mainly in areas of restricted views, poor viewing, and lets say either wing of the Club Deck. Many Bar'72 members are older, on fixed incomes, and would be unwilling to climb several flights of stairs.

 

I don't think there is any point in raging at the injustices of the situation to the two girls tasked with Bar'72 administration? The decision making exists at a far higher level. 

 

The club asks for loyalty, you comply, then they punish you twice for your

The cost of failure is getting higher by the season 

Now that Mike Graham has had a dig at them maybe he should invite this woman Mrs Gray on to the show and she can put her points over the airwaves it might spark a reaction from the authorities. 

Or maybe Gregory Campbell might ask some questions in the house of commons because your SNP wont do a thing .

It's time to get to the bottom of this once and for all.

Why do you think it's a bad deal?

If the figures quoted then its peanuts four million these days is really nothing in football terms 

I see one of the convicted ones Frank Cairney is to get early release

Nor do you know if it's actually £20m or some other figure altogether - or whether it has performance targets that allow us to earn beyond a basic value.

I can only go with the smidgeon of information that's been given out and I still think this is a bad deal , but only time will tell ,

A five season deal worth twenty million pounds,  sorry I don't think that's a good deal .

No way .

One for the lads that know the replica shirt scene what do you know about this company teams or players they have contracts with ,who owns them only time will tell .

you cant beat a wee bit of blasphemy   

Would like to see one of the big names as our kit suppliers 

Its nice to hear some good news these day's 

Over 80s should get a free ticket?

He's injured 

Very enjoyable that broadcast 

Just scap the season let the positions stand for any European competition next season if any the idiots down south want to finish their league by playing behind closed doors,  how do you keep two metres away from your teammates or opponents,  all this nonsense to keep their sponsors happy I think shows they dont give a toot about their fans .

If someone like Mike Graham in his Independent Republic is speaking out about the Paedo Club, maybe it's only a secret in Scotland.

With any luck he might get mrs. Gray on the show
