Summer Football

[Phil D. Rolls]

Given that Scottish teams regularly lose out to teams from smaller countries, who happen to be in the middle of their season (as opposed to us who are still at pre-season), does anyone think it would be worthwhile switching to summer football?

I think our only chance of generating income is to do better in Europe, but every year that is getting harder, due to the co-efficient suffering because of early exits.

I like winter football.

Its madness we don't have summer football. I'd much rather go to a game in June or July, than freeze my bollox off in February. Its just a far more pleasurable way to spend a Saturday afternoon when the sun is out.

Summer football.

Good for:

Spectating
Encouraging youngsters to play
Better conditions for players to train
" " " youngsters to develop
Prepared for European football
Unchallenged TV access period


If summer football ain't going to happen, they should at least look to start and finish the league a month earlier, this way teams will be properly developed for their European encounters.

Summer is for hols & going abroad, not to satisfy some wimps that cannae stand the cold to watch fitba during the season.

So what are we supposed to do during the winter, count snowflakes/raindrops ?

Watching football being played on a rain lashed pitch in a freezing cold gale is utter madness. To hell with tradition. Surely standards would improve if the game was played in decent conditions?

Which of course has never made any sense anyway; why bugger off when the weather here is half decent ? Common sense would say get away when the weather here is pish !
