I would say November and December could be classed as winter in Scotland, we didn't have any issues this season before the break but imagine if December was bad and a load of games got called off, we then have the winter break and then get weather like this at the end of February.There would be a big fixture pile up before the split which is why we should probably play summer football instead of having a winter break.
Playing "summer" football is a bit of of a misnomer. Currently our season starts in August and runs thru to May. Take away the two week break and you are left with a nine - ten month season. Summer is 3 months. So the question is not when we play but when we DONT play? What three months dont you want to play in? Let's go for winter - December, January and february. Start the season firts weekend in March (this weekend - that would be great), playing on pitches which have had the benefit of .... winter? Playing players who have benefited from a pre-season in .. cold, wet, frozen conditions. Cup Final in November?
Can we get some of your snow over here?
Off topic but what a bunch of Scottish erseholes who abused eddie jones.
I hate the english rugby ream but these f*nnies are an embarrassment.
F*ck off scum.
You`ll just have to get up for the weekend anyway then ?
I`ve booked to drive up the A1 on Friday , deliver a bike in Kirkcaldy and drive on up to Aberdeen. Driving back down on sunday.
Not sure if the Amber weather thing means I`ll be dawdled by abandonded cars around Edinburgh or whatever ??
Tel you what, if the games off, it`ll be a helluva a pubcrawl roon the Toon !!!
Nae for me!!!. The reason for biding up was that we were going to Frank McDougall's 60th birthday party. We were getting a lift up but driver isna affa keen now so may have to try for a last minute train or bus if running.
Swedes run a 16-team league playing each other twice. So 30 games - 15 at home as opposed to our 19. If we did that then the club would have to cut season ticket prices by 20% or bang up the single match price by the same percentage. That'll be popular.
Yes - some will say that a 20% cut in season ticket prices might mean more people buying and total revenue actually increasing. Price elasticity of demand etc. But ah dinnae - so the club would not be too happy to do that.
