DoonTheSlope Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Surely I should be awarded more home points per game than someone who lives in Glasgow Depending on where I'm seated, If I'm halfway down in the North Stand and stay till full time then I'm queuing at Mt Florida for the best part of an hour probably longer and catch the last train back to Edinburgh where I miss the last corporation bus up the road. I then have to shell out extra expense for a robbing cunt taxi driver or I'd have to walk another 45 minutes. I've been on the go for 20+ hours. I don't get in the house till almost 1 then I'm up again at 4 for work Where is my commitment being rewarded?

The SFA don't see any of that money., They Are trying to reward people who buy tickets for home games and they hope that in doing so it will boost home ticket sales and possibly SSC memberships.

Infact I am going back to give you a ‘like’ for that post. If I wear a pipers jacket could I get 2 points? Or 3 points if i promise to gtf off this board ? 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I live outside Glasgow so every game is an away game. As a result I choose to go away on holiday abroad. This is not a valid excuse or argument. You choose to spend your £ on hokidays abroad with 90 mins of football squeezed in the middle.

I dont think I suggested home points , infact I am sure I didn't ( though I have known to be wrong🙂) , I just suggested keeping the system as it was, but with a 10 % ballot. The home points help me, the ballot would not have. If you really care about Scotland you will move house 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. I see what you mean , £2 . 50 a year for under 16s. Glad to see they are trying to encourage kids back not price them out . We need to get the kids back supporting Scotland . It's pretty worrying when at away games 80% of the support look over 40 years old , and it's not much better at home games . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
