It isn't as cheap as what you think to stream the games. You need to fork out for the camera, laptop, software and hardware to stream the games. Renting or buying there us still a cost attached to it. Pinning your hopes on a grant would be foolish. Even if there is one by the time it filters down to this level it won't amount to much.
The only sensible thing to do was to delay the season and review it again in January. By then the latest measures would have had time.
What is the point in clubs at this level playing behind closed doors when the majority won't be streaming the games. Plus you have no promotion or relegation. It's no surprise that it is the bigger clubs with the bigger outlays that don't think it makes sense to play.Well I whole heartedly agree with you on a delay and review. It would have been the correct decision. Cant understand the desire by most to rush into the 24th

You want clubs to pay players wage, buy portacabins and buy cameras etc. to stream games when they have no income coming in? The LL clubs and a lot clubs in the East of Scotland will be due at least £5k from the SFA for being licensed.
Given the number of cases, hospital admissions and deaths continue to increase there isn't a chance we will have fans back in the grounds anytime soon.I think you half pick up my point. Yes to what you point out. But my main point is that help is needed from the SG and SFA.
Streaming games could be an income for very little outlay
And by the way you can rent Portakabins. The teams that have not pulled out obviously dont need them because they presently comply / will comply with SG guidelines
These are all temporary measures. Yes its hard times but nobody said ut wasn't
So thats some of my suggestions to try and stop withdrawals - whats yours

Appears to me that things are constantly changing from day to day and instead of standing by the original decisions made by clubs based on the information put to them that other options are now being put on the table which is completely out of order. I.M.G. should stand firmly by the original decision and not be trying to appease clubs and offering alternatives to attempt clubs to reconsider their options such as extending date for clubs to opt out of leagues this season.
Sorry Chis but totally disagree with your point on offering alternatives to try and get clubs to change mind. I for one would like to see alternative proposals to get the big boys back in as I fear for the future of the clubs that pull out - and players move on. Dont know the details of how this works.
Everybody was happy to play friendlies under the health restictions so dont understand the difference moving into league games.
Is it the case that all that have agree to start comply with the dressing room rules ? Do the East and others comply ? In England fans are in. If not could tempory facilities ie portakabins not be brought in so the home team uses both dressing rooms and the away team uses the temp facilities,surely not impossible. Accept that it would cost some money but for how long ? My concern is if circumstances change for the better in a months time ? the teams that have withdrawn will regret it. Govermnent or the higher echelons of SFA should be looking after the grass roots.
I know its not you but why not let fans in in a controlled manner and league appoint "crowd behaviour person" to monitor social distancing in ground.
Again it has been mentioned why not live stream and ask for subscription charge ?
I dont think the future is Rosey and have already thrown my golf clubs out and dont own bowls

How by telling the truth go fling shite at the moon ya rocket
What was actuallu said was couldn't guarantee the numer of games that would take place ie call offs due to COVID. So there would be no refunds on a game per game basis. What has now happened is another level and refunds have been offered.
I thought you might have been more happy that Talbots name won't be on this years winners trophy

Think Lanark contributed massively to making this an excellent final. It would have been a major upset had Talbot not won but at half time Lanark were well in the game only 2-1 down, and their goal was an absolute belter - straight out of the Gordon Pope handbook. No better praise than that.
Lanark had an excellent away following, probably at least 300, and there's very clubs bring that level of support to Beechwood. It was Talbot's experience and superior fitness that finally told on Lanark. Good to see a lot of the players who don't normally start playing today and fitting in very well, and think it's safe to assume that only McCracken, McPherson, Armstrong and Shankland who stated today will start next week against Cove Rangers.
Always god to get silverware early doors, now for Cove.
What's your thoughts on the game nocknosh? Was it the away dressing rooms wot won it for Talbot?
Leishman ? Slow down man and check your grammar
