Steve_Wilkos Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 You would, in your heart of hearts, like to think that the SPFL have learnt there lesson from the previous debacle. The lesson is - just get Hearts doon and the rest will work itself out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ach it'll probably be gone by then. Good to see the penny finally dropping about the incompetence of the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 8GTG will now have something to be happy about: The leader of the pack Yes, I said at the time. Doncaster supported reconstruction, or so he said. If he'd had the power then that might have happened. Realistically clubs are unlikely to hand over control of what happens with ending the season to a board containing Celtic (league title under threat), Hamilton and Brechin (both in relegation danger). As others have said, this should have been decided before the season started. Edited October 23, 2020 by 8GamesToGo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The SPFL board won't be given a fee reign by the club's though to do reconstruction etc in the event of a required shutdown. They'll be allowed to decide what the rules are that will result in a premature end. IE XX number of games need to be played and they'll be given the power to call the season and that'll be it. There's no way a single Premiership club will hand over the control to the SPFL board to change league structure or anything along those lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, and that's not what the proposal is about, or even close to being about. Presumably that tedious, piece of shit troll is screaming otherwise. I don't read that boring c**t's posts.

Less than = null & void. Regardless of which teams in front. Or, as they already done - where you are at that point in the season is where you finish that season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Down south: 600 at the Carshalton Athletic v Enfield game today whereas if I want to watch, say, a Penicuik game I'd have to peak through the fence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If stopping 100 idiots watching say Penicuik v Dunbar is helping to combat the spread of Covid then why aren't other countries, even our neighbours down south, following our shining example? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can look at it both ways though, you're looking at it to suit what you want the outcome to be. Look at the state of Belgium (as that's where the Rangers game was and not Portugal) between 2000-10000, with days spiking at 16 thousand cases. Also some areas down south as well are a total disaster. Are they good examples that Scotland should be following?

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Looks like there's certainly no plans to have even limited number of fans in grounds within the next 4 weeks minimum anyway. Not that I thought they would but this certainly clears it up. Hibs v St Johnstone and Hamilton v Aberdeen have been rearranged for Tuesday and Wednesday the 24th & 25th November with a 7pm kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Apparently County, ICT and Elgin are all in a "Tier 1" region so could get fans in after Mondays announcement. Everywhere else starting at "Tier 2/3" I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Great news if true. Scottish football being Scottish football there will be plenty clubs in higher tier areas complaining it's not fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Interested to see if this will result in a Highland League restart. Think there’s more to it than just getting fans in the door though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SJP79 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Redundancies at Peterhead Football Club Oct 28, 2020 Peterhead Football Club regret to advise that 29 part-time and occasional staff are to be made redundant at the end of this month when the Government Furlough scheme comes to an end. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic impact on the club with both the football and hospitality revenue streams having been effectively turned off since March this year. Despite matches having resumed behind closed doors at the beginning of this month, the fact that there are no fans and no match day hospitality at games has placed serious financial constraints on the club. The facilities at Balmoor Stadium operate normally seven days a week with meeting rooms and function rooms regularly being hired out almost on a daily basis. With the exception of the new and innovative Coffee Shop which is running on reduced hours and with a skeleton staff, the stark reality is that there is no work for the vast majority of our dedicated team of staff. Unfortunately, the new Government Job Retention Scheme which commences in November has no provision for our part-time and occasional staff. Many of those effected are single parents who rely on their jobs with the club to supplement their income and in many cases their jobs provide the only social interaction they have outside the family home. There are also a number of instances where more than one family member from the same household will be impacted. Peterhead FC are extremely grateful for the financial aid received through the grant funding made available by philanthropist James Anderson via the SPFL Trust and have thanked him personally for his generous support. However, it should be noted that this funding is ring-fenced for community based projects only, and it is therefore understandable that staff may have difficulty in fully appreciating why the club can be seen to be supporting local charities etc whilst at the same time cutting jobs. Peterhead FC’s reputation for providing top class hospitality at Balmoor Stadium is second to none and is often the envy of clubs playing at a far higher level than that of SPFL1. A large proportion of the credit for that is down to the quality of our dedicated staff, a fact that has not been lost on the Board. Everyone at the club has taken their share of the financial cut-backs over the recent months including the players, senior staff and management. The club are indebted to everyone who has helped to shoulder the financial burden and the decision to let staff go has only been made after a great deal consideration and deliberation, and only after every other alternative option had been explored. Peterhead Football Club urge the Scottish football authorities to make further representation to the Scottish Government in order to address the serious financial implications of playing behind closed doors for lower league clubs before we start seeing communities throughout the country being subjected to further devastation by their demise and ultimate disappearance altogether. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
