Andy North Croy Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Due to Referendum result I couldn't face 90 mins of slagging by our democratically elected Imperial Masters....there are more important things than football. Also due to ticket prices I would've boycotted it anyway.....which I did....twice I suppose. The SFA are a shower of sh*te for treating us in this way....years of watching less than ordinary teams till we finally get a half-decent squad and what do they do? Rip off the people who have followed the team through thin and thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevo1609 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Mind you we did make a loose suggestion that Jimmy Saville was "one of your own" ....... One guy behind me even suggested that Saville even played footy for them and was particularly skilled at playing in the hole ....... He took that way too far TBH and a few gave him pelters.

The team has gone through some very dark days and yet our fans have stuck by them through thin and thinner (as a poster said yesterday). The SFA are now completely feeding off that and have shown no loyalty to the lads and lassies that have travelled the globe supporting the team. Their answer is to hike the prices up to milk as much money as possible out of it. Are you seriously saying that it's 'laughable' that some guys are making a stand about this?

I am not sue mate, I read it differently and for me it reads like Peter was saying that pricing was used as an excuse for some not to go. I dare say that for some this may be true but for many it would also be the reason. Peter could clarify if he likes; he has given his opinion and is entitled to his view either way.

JasMc1973 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Didn't go to England game.... price for a friendly put me off plain and simple.... Was going to miss the Gibraltar too and after the referendum my heart wasnt even in it for the Georgia game. Was gonna just sit back and watch the Ireland game too, but thanks to the home fans around me and the performance really has got back interested in the team... so will be going to the rest of the home games, though for the gib game i'll be getting the cheapest tickets i can get.... might be back to the North stand for the other two games...

blackcountry jock Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Peter I agree the pint system is outdated but you will never please all the people all the time in principle I'm not against the current system maybe be tweaked somehow much same as FIFA rankings depending on the opponents location etc different level of points at the minute you get one point for a qualifier in Republic of Ireland and same one point for a friendly in Poland mid march so maybe friendly games carry more points etc I don't have the exact answer but could do with revamping.... Or even I don't know if you travel to away friendliest get some sort discount on home tickets but that will never happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The points system is perfectly fair as is. If you have 1 point, that'll be sufficient to get to about 99% of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
