They wouldn't be allowed to do this under FIFA rules, so it is nothing to do with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) This would have been ok when we were less massive but now we're massive I hate the idea. Spoiler Kidding, obviously, it's ridiculous. Edited September 9, 2023 by Coventry Saint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket sales and home crowd sizes so far this season suggests the fans are right behind the team. ETA big travelling support too.

Moorie Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I’m sure they use to promote it down in England when was international weekend they would encourage you to take in your local non league ground for a game. should be a motto we should push too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Non-League Day is a thing when Engerlund are playing. There was 573 at Dunbar v Haddington today without any publicity beyond East Lothian- the East of Scotland League were cute in having all the local derbies played today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banks of Dee would be my nearest non league ground which to be fair I’ve been down there quite a few times this season already. £10 for me to get in and the son is free. unfortunately no game today as was highland league cup. Would be good to see the SFA push the highland, lowland, WOS etc on social media when the NT is paying especially when it’s not on a Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Sensible Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Love Scotland are doing well but my priority is always St Mirren Happy to have the weekend off though, it’s a lot of stress back to the real deal next week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 It's a terrible idea but one of the many things I don't understand about rugby is that they do just that. Six Nations goes full pelt and Glasgow and Edinburgh just have to keep playing with many top players unavailable. No doubt some ruggafan will roll his eyes and explain in emphatic fashion why I'm misunderstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically as midweek games are taboo... and given physicality of pro rugby nowadays that's probably wise... so if they stopped for 6N + autumn series + RWC they'd have to slash club rugby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
