parsforlife Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 £50k per club(possibly more in the very unlikely event a club doesn't apply for funding) . To fund testing, making grounds fit to have fans etc attend. Can't be used towards wages(which is the major obstacle for clubs) , remaining £0.9m to be put into trust who are launching a campaign(Scottish football united) Q&A on trust website is desperate to say its not a bribe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Wonder what the criteria are for proving community benefit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Oh great, another shan Trust organisation to get local fatties to do laps around the park instead of focusing on the actual point of a professional football club. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 6 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: Wonder what the criteria are for proving community benefit? I don't think it will be difficult for football clubs to justify that, even without a formal community programme which most full time sides at least will have. There are plenty of studies out there showing the community impact of a football club to the wider area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 13 hours ago, rb123! said: I know this isn't related to football here but i see that in New Zealand there's going to 35,000 and 20,000 supporters at a couple of rugby games at the weekend as lockdown has been completely lifted. Just puts it into perspective how much we've fucked up and we're now going to be months if not nearer a year until 35,000 people in a stadium. Without getting political i just thought i'd add that depressing point. Would rather have the virus than watch rugby tbh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 7 hours ago, North Terrace Gazza said: Tbf New Zealand are thousands of miles from anywhere and we’re right besides mainland Europe which had the biggest explosion of the virus outside of China. They also pretty much eradicated the virus with a quick lockdown and a robust contact tracing system. Given the performance of the British and American systems through this, very nicely done. Even Oz is doing quite well on opening up. On that note, the U.S. caseload is climbing in over half the country, how’s the numbers looking over there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Before anyone gets too excited by New Zealand, can we just remember that they got pumped 1-0 by Dunfermline in 2002, courtesy of Craig Brewster's 66th minute goal? https://dafc.co.uk/story.php?t=New_Zealand_0_Dunfermline_1&ID=11828 As they say in Dundee.. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Budge was on Sky yesterday, and never mentioned a single thing about it. Why, then, do you think she suddenly decided to announce it on Scottish radio, days before a vote, when those "questioning" her were people who have supported her the entire time? Almost as if todays performance was nothing more than a propaganda speech so she dropped in something to rile up the masses.

It's being paid into a Trust, clubs can apply. It's not for wages, there are specific areas for the money to be used. It's hardly a £50k deposit in every club account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ridiculous that games will be behind closed doors anyway come Oct. the numbers of covid deaths/cases are becoming so minuscule in Scotland that lower league teams could probably play now with social distancing measures and nobody would be catching covid/killing their grannies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
