Thought they did away with coverage fees and all the TV monies went into a pot to be shared by all clubs?

Sounds about right, would keep me away from Inverurie (my work colleagues always say nightmare for traffic there on a Saturday). Queue getting stuck behind a tractor...

It's not that far, under 2 hours away. I'd imagine bus will be back about 7pm and only left early so folk could get a good few pints in and enjoy their day out. If I go i'll be driving up, although looks like it'd be by myself at the minute

Ah cheers, never bothered reading that... Bought enough tickets in the past to know how to use the website. Was a bit of pain having to screenshot and crop tickets for other folk. Also, Israel KO according to tickets is 1945....

Where does it say that? It says "It is essential you save or print a copy for future reference" at the bottom of my email.

Have they missed a zero off those numbers? We were 70-80k to fix the drainage at the glebe IIRC (and had to do it twice as first attempt didn't fully resolve the issues). 5k certainly doesn't sound like it would go far, especially if ground works are involved

That's the whole sales window for all the SSC, they can't do the usual intermediate deadlines for points levels like they normally do as UEFA is handling sales. I'd expect them to start sending to 12 pointers towards end of the week. In the emails with ticket links it states tickets are not guaranteed and subject to availability, so you should really be buying them ASAP and not waiting till end of sales window.

I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make, if any, but did the Brechin supporters club contact fans to get their opinions and then pass this on to the club? I emailed the chairman before the statement was released, didn't have an isue with them asking legitimate questions (however long shots they were) but my main concern was rumours of proposed reconstruction inlcuding future inclusion for the colts (no mention of this in the statement). This issue was raised a few years ago at an AGM where it was pretty much unanimously voted down, so to even contemplate allowing the door to be opened for reserve sides without consulting the supporters (season ticket holders are also effectively the shareholders) is entirely unacceptable. Not had a reply yet...

Pretty sure all qualifying associations are guaranteed at least 15% of available capacities for matches they are involved in. Regarding refunding some or all, with the timescale available refunding all and starting again is far less complex. Travel restrictions and quarantine rules etc means some who retain their tickets may not be able to attend, and would need to be refunded anyway with no time for Uefa to resell the ticket (bear in mind their portal is the only legal resale method)

Would that be around the time they spent half a million on an artificial pitch? No point at all in looking at the P&L column over a short period without having a breakdown of where it came from

"Within seven days of the date of the ITC request, the former association shall, by using the appropriate selection in TMS, either: a) deliver the ITC in favour of the new association and enter the deregistration date of the player; or b) reject the ITC request and indicate in TMS the reason for rejection, which may be either that the contract between the former club and the professional player has not expired or that there has been no mutual agreement regarding its early termination. 5. Once the ITC has been delivered, the new association shall confirm receipt and complete the relevant player registration information in TMS. 6. If the new association does not receive a response to the ITC request within 15 days of the ITC request being made, it shall immediately register the professional player with the new club on a provisional basis (“provisional Annexe 3 59 registration”). The new association shall complete the relevant player registration information in TMS (cf. Annexe 3, article 5.2 paragraph 6). A provisional registration shall become permanent one year after the ITC request. The Players’ Status Committee may withdraw a provisional registration, if, during this one-year period, the former association presents valid reasons explaining why it did not respond to the ITC request." FIFA regs from the SFA website. Take it we either have made a mess of the form, or don't know the rules

I'm sure I read somewhere that the SFA grants provisional clearance if there hasn't been a reply within 30 days?

They will be, but in digital format. I read that Sony were working on letting users link licences to their account which would then let them download games they already own.

... Before. When they were showing Rick how they catch them, they say Otis usually did this.

Bowyer, Smith and Woodgate heading to Elland Road?
