BEARGER 1,830 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If this is correct, what a bloody shambles! https://www.followfollow.com/the-cost-of-the-semi-ffnal-farce-could-be-at-least-380000/ Follow Follow can reveal that the SPFL can only move a semi final game from Hampden if they agreed to pay the match fee for both games – the contract stipulates £115,000 per match. The company which runs Hampden, effectively Queens Park FC, are holding the SPFL to that agreement. The Scottish Rugby Union who own Murrayfield have asked for a match fee of £120,000 AND 20% of the gate money. Taking an average of £20 a ticket for the 67,000 capacity rugby ground that is 20% of roughly £1.3million – around £260,000. The total bill to Scottish football will be in the region of £380,000 for this farce. Doncaster has apparently gone to “try and sell it to the SPFL Board.” He hasn’t baulked at these figures. Missing, as usual, from a leadership role in all this is SPFL Chairman Murdoch MacLennan who also has the unaddressed conflict of interest to face considering his support for Celtic; and his employment at the behest of two major Celtic shareholders. As I understand it the SPFL will be paying for two games at Hampden come what may – even if only one takes place. The SRU are playing hardball. It looks like the solution Doncaster & Co. favour is to throw the punters’ money at the problem and hope the public have short memories. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,940 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 What was that old, old, Hughie Green show, again? Ah, yes, "Double Your Money"..... Plus ca change....... Perhaps more pertinently, will Michael Miles appear and tell rasellik "Take Your Pick"? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
les186 271 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Don't BT have the rights to televise both games live, so with extra time and penalty kicks one game must start early and one late if on the same day? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMc 2,754 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 There's no way Hampden, Queens Park or the SFA were going to waive the match fee, why should they? This mess isn't of their making. They'll have budgeted for that fee, why should they take the hit because Aberdonians can't hire coaches and don't own cars. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
