LeedsPhil Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 With the (big) Scottish Cup final being a proper 3pm Saturday fixture again this year (21st May), what's the thoughts whether some/all Junior games that day would shift to early KOs or even go to the Friday night / Sunday to get folks in, rather than competing with that on the telly? I see that the East Of Scotland League has a full card of fixtures, all shifted to the Friday night. And the Ross-shire Welfare (normally 3pm Saturdays) are all 12:00 KOs just that one day.

fan of the juniors Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Personally speaking . I care not a jot about senior Scottish football so would hope that we didn't swap our fixture if we have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Usually the Juniors pay little heed to the cup final or internationals (usually evenings nowadays tbf). Perhaps clubs will move individual games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Victoria Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think it's a great idea but only if the Celic bhoys are in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StRochsFC Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Great idea Even if there is no serious interest in the Senior game - a lot of potential customers for Junior games would stay away - Friday night would be excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzy Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 My loyalty will always be Junior as is most posters here.Whats your problem. Who wants to watch a few overpaid foreigners on tv when we have true Scottish football played by mainly Scottish players Shove your Senior crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bluebells Are Blue Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Great idea Even if there is no serious interest in the Senior game - a lot of potential customers for Junior games would stay away - Friday night would be excellent I agree.A Friday evening match would be a good idea.Good chance of a few neutrals & senior game fans taking in a match!

HTG Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Oh jazzy you old romantic. Hardly anyone watches junior football these days. No point ignoring the fact that a game like that will impact on even those reduced numbers. It's been an issue for west teams for years now that they are playing up against lunchtime tv football. So why would you not shift your kick off time to 1pm (or 5.30pm lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I am speaking for myself not anyone else I get that. Presumably though you'd still go along if the start time was shifted by an hour. And if it meant a few more punters through the gate that would make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzy Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I would still go along if my team was playing at midnight. BUT it's just not Junior football that's struggling for punters Senior football is as well.I suggest we move Junior football on to Play station as that is the only way we will attract younger support.

Larky55 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yes, the The Juniors should avoid this fixture. Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dt17 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Evidence being? Grounds less than half full a lot of the time? Genuinely the only teams who seem to be packing their stadiums on a regular basis are Rangers and Hearts. Celtic are lucky to get 30,000 and the other grounds are about half full as well. Pricing is ridiculous tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chis Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Nothing to prevent the 2 Clubs playing each other agreeing to a switch and then obtaining agreement from their respective League as has happened many times in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollokLoyal Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 This type of thread is good for outing the morons amongst us. It's about what's best for the clubs, not your individual needs ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
