18BAIRN76 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) It actually just shows you the importance of being in the Championship, minimum. Dunfermline’s prize money being just short of double ours for finishing 6th. That’s pretty stark. Edited May 20 by 18BAIRN76 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nearly 10x our prize money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be a scenario for years where the team coming down from the Premier is so lacking in financial resources. If County come down they'll have more prize money, parachute payments and a rich owner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I actually fancy RR over the two legs. Think we’re in for a cracker of a season, and if RR don’t get up, every side maybe apart from one or two will fancy their chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and Livvi also have an approx £900K payment (on top of league prize money and parachute payments) from a European Fund too, think they have about £2.5M coming their way in total.

effeffsee_the2nd Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 22 hours ago, Senor Bairn said: The whole artificial surface debate stems down to the two ugly sisters losing a couple games on it over the years. Every time Killie or Livingston beat them at their own grounds, the argument comes out. If Celtic and rangers pumped these teams every time they played them it wouldn't even be a debate. What's better for the teams in the league system as a whole? That they are able to play every week throughout the season, train on the same park, also have others use the park without great detriment to the pitch, or a grass park that can potentially cause disruption to the season due to being frozen over/waterlogged? 'But it looks shite on the tele!?' Nothing but pandering to the nuggets that lap it up. Clubs with astro pitches have an advantage over those that don't but it's got absolutely f**k all to do with how the ball moves or how it affects players. It's not having to maintain a grass pitch, fork out for for additional training facilities, and run undersoil heating during this peak in energy prices (that shows no sign of going away) that and a healthy dose of deflection. I also suspect that clubs in the premiership have seen how many clubs have made the switch in the last 10 years and are simply trying their luck at imposing another exclusionary rule that could protect them against relegation. f**k them 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Two separate, but also related, questions. When is GTF day? Looking forward to changing my bookmarks back from League One to the Championship forum. Any idea roughly when the new strip is out? Looking forward to lobbing more of my money at O’Neills next sexy effort. Thanks x 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the last time I asked no arrangements had been made and a date hadn't been set. O Neills are coming over to visit all their clubs at the end of May so if they bring their own media staff with them it's possible they'll do all the promotional stuff themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) That’s a vote going to be held on the banning of artificial pitches. Needs a 9-3 split to carry and would be effective from 2026-27 season if passed. edit : for the top flight, obviously.

18BAIRN76 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) Such a typical Scottish football response to the entire issue. Instead of having a proper discussion about it; the pros and cons, the benefits to the community, why clubs would choose to have a plastic vs. grass pitch, the cost of moving from artificial to grass upon potential promotion; perhaps the implemention of higher minimum standards for any artificial pitches being laid - let's just ban them full stop. It'll pass and it's a joke. Edited May 20 by 18BAIRN76 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll pass and it's a joke. Of course it will pass. Said weeks ago about the seriousness of banning plastic. Kilmarnock would have been a sticking plaster, shock & out the blue and after spending close to 1 million on a new plastic surface, the plastic is being ripped up. They’ve obviously had the nod and leaves it clear that next seasons top league have no plastic (Killie pending) Fckn stinking from top to bottom and with Livi out the way, mob rules once again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
