Usually it only crops up when a lower league team has a few players away because top flight teams don't play on recognised international dates. Sevco were probably one of the more recent examples as they struggled through the lower leagues. There is definitely going to be more contention if the 2021 Africa Cup does get played. There are EPL teams that will be losing 4 players for the duration plus whatever time they need to quarantine on arriving back in the UK. I don't think any club will be able to stop players going if they wish but I also don't think there will be sanctions to players who decline to go (coerced or otherwise) There are also a international dates at the end of January and start of February to finish up WC qualifying in every other confederation outside of UEFA. And I don't expect those to be respected either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 3 hours ago, 54_and_counting said: Club owners or majority shareholders would never agree to the cap simplu because a bad season and they actually might be better off giving the OF more seats Didnt St Johnstone say jan 2020 that giving the OF 3 stands instead of two was potentially worth 6 figures a season extra and the remaining stand was enough space to accommodate their home fans as well Might be shite for the fans being moved but surely being moved a maximum 4 times a season that financially benefits the club and maybe helps improve the team is going to be more attractive, especially to the club owner Any self respecting club should be following Steve Clarkes example at Kilmarnock. For that reason, I hope St Johnstone get relegated. Give the away fans 1 stand and try and use your home advantage. All the advantages are already massively stacked in favour of the 2 Glasgow mobs, without bending over and touching your toes when requested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 The most likely match to effect Scottish football might be Canada's double header in January/February. I don't think Wotherspoon will be fit but these matches will go a long way to determining if they qualify for the World Cup. So if Scott Arfield got the call he would be picking between the OF game and potentially going to Qatar. Harry Paton at Ross County has been in recent Canada squads too. And Motherwell might lose Sondre Solholm if he decides to play for Canada. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Wotherspoon is out for the season anyway so he won't be away with Canada. Edited December 23, 2021 by craigkillie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbix Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Arfields packed in the internationals I think, Kyogo playing for two years non stop is the bigger factor, or how far Nigeria get in AFCON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They held a one season experiment to see how it would go and gauge home fans opinions on it. It's now back to OF just getting 2.5 stands, as has been the case for years. I'm sure we give you a lower % of our capacity than Dundee, yet for some reason we're always held up as some of OF reliant club.

If so you wouldn't be far off around half which would be one of the higher ones if the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any of their predictions even came close to being anywhere near right It’s a worst case scenario, not a prediction Not even the Daily mail are reporting it as a “prediction” although they’ve not gone to any great lengths to stop you making that mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
