Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Surely with four, nothing home qualifiers coming up, the SFA have to get rid of Strachan and stoke up some interest with a new man at the helm, or am I over thinking this? Surely Hampden will be a morgue for those games? Edited November 12, 2016 by Bobby Russell's Lovechild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the $64,000 question The SFA are put there by the clubs Would actually need the SFA to disband themselves or Government intervention - neither of which will happen We are fvcked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deso1 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 They wont be bothered, we've already bought season tickets. Plus England will sell out to the usual sort that follow for 'the big' games. As other folk have said we are fxcked, and deserve our misery, cos we wont or are unable to do anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radian Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The Lithuania game was a morgue the worst i've known.....i think the next year we'll have many a worse atmosphere than that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we will sell this out now. we won 5-1 in Malta and we have a bit of a buzz going on but then our 1st game only 30k due to prices . we need a new manger now to maybe get us back engaged. On another note I feel this is a great time to get rid of the doe a dear fannys forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, generally, things going quite well, gentlemen. So let's schedule a home friendly against Yemen or somewhere like that for eight o clock on a Monday night...'

Probably - but football associations only change when they get people in to run them that want change The SFA like most other associations are a closed shop and like Turkeys why would they vote for Christmas I believe France had the where withall to change theirs after failure to qualify for a World Cup - but we just accept failure and reward it There is absolutely no accountability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely to be: "The revenue streams from the season tickets and merchandise sales, in particular the pink away top, combined with the projected income from England at Hampden, sees the Scottish game in a healthy position. But I wouldn't object to playing a friendly, for the right price.. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont They are more interested in their own clubs than the national team FIFA and UEFA will ban countries where the Government intervenes in their associations seemingly Fans of the national team are also likely to be fans of the individual clubs. Can pressure not be put on that way ? Whilst I think things that have been mentioned before (like banners etc )would draw a bit of attention it is unlikely to change anything. And with so many season tickets sold it will take boycotts going on for a couple of years before that has much impact. What about TA supporters clubs ? Do they have no interaction with the Sfa? Would a separately elected body of supporters have no influence? There a plenty of posters on this board I would be happy to endorse. The sfa like their surveys. How about they produce a survey asking the fans how they feel they ( the SFA) are performing. What is certain is that they will take absolutely no notice of ( in their view) a handful of whingers on a social media message board.

flicktokick Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 How about ATAC join forces with the Scottish Supporters Association http://scottishfsa.org/ As I understand it the SFA are not really talking to ATAC as they used to, so it is time to take a different approach and try to push change in the governing body making the point that supporters are not customers, but stakeholders in the game. The future good of football in Scotland is in the interests of all supporters, whether those of clubs - from the Highland League to the Premiership - or followers of the National Team.
