Split gate receipts would be terrible for Hibs. After spending a fortune rebuilding Easter road to attract customers people want to give half the money to the likes of Motherwell who have not spent a penny on Fir Park in years.

Sevco will not be challenging any time soon. They are much more likely to go bust again.

For the country to have a better league set up the finances for every team needs to be re-distributed and fairer. It can't just benefit Hibs

Hearts are more likely to beat Celtic on Sunday than split gate receipts being introduced into Scottish football for league fixtures.

I'm not scared of them. They're only winning the league like they are because we're not in it FACT.
Next season will be different.
United we stand here....

I think each team should keep their home games definitely.
But all other finances brought in should be distributed equally, no matter if the West coast mobs are on telly week in week out. It's those running the game that have got us into this position, their narrow mindedness and selfish attitudes towards them that are ruining our game.
And why not tell the TV companies to beat it until they come up with a better deal for Scottish football.
100 million would be a drop in the ocean to the likes of Sky Sports and that would go a long way in enhancing the Scottish Leagues.
The problem is, as I've previously said, the SFA aren't bothered about anyone else bar these two.
That's been evident for decades now, and most of us could see the decline slowly coming, they must have also but refused to sort it.

Splitting gate receipts is a horrible idea.
Why should my season ticket money be used to subsidise Ross Co or whoever?
Why should Old Firm fans pay to help us get a better team?!
Utter madness.
It's up to the rest of us to try and compete. If you look at most leagues across Europe they are generally won by the same handful of clubs. Doesn't mean the rest of them should give up does it?
Nothing wrong with our league now that we're back in it

I would be very happy if a UK-wide league was created. We'd be filling out ER no problem every week and we'd have buckets of money. Keep the Scottish Cup so we still have a change of winning something and I'm sold.

We need to concentrate on trying to become the 2nd best team in the country, or if Rangers do improve that wee bit that takes them ahead of the rest of us, then the 3rd best team in the country regularly.

There should be a trophy for finishing 2nd then we would all have something to play for

Looking at the Celtic dominance from a selfish Hibs point of view ( which is the way most clubs act ), I don't see what difference it makes, neither of the Edinburgh clubs has won the league for well over a hundred years between them, and yet the Hibs fans still turn up in numbers.
Clubs have been forced to pay their bills, and sporting integrity has been vaguely established, let's get it on :)
...The fact that Celtic are more or less setting the rules for the SPFL is a different story.

Bayern Munich have won almost half of all Bundesliga titles since it's inception in 1963. They're currently on their fifth title in succession with no team looking like toppling them any time soon.
They've won 12 out of 18 titles this century (1999-00 to 2016-17)
So it's not restricted to Scotland.Last edited by Keith_M; 19-05-2017 at 11:29 AM. Reason: Not quite half and additinal info

I know England probably wont have the old firm, but have we asked other countries? Maybe Norway or France might take them? Worth an ask?

I reckon the only solution is to have play-offs for the title. Play out the league games and the team positioned 1 goes straight to thr final. Teams 2 and 3 play-off to reach the final. Massive superbowl type championship final at the end of it all.

And Juve will win their 6th league in a row this weekend. Scottish clubs outwith Celtic really need to try and make some sort of impact in Europa league, qualifying for groups regularly, its more or less the same as many other leagues just at a lower level.

He also appears to be the first name that comes to mind from Arsenal fans looking at the post Wenger period when that eventually happens.
Celtic are good to watch though right now but as we saw with even Barcelona who for a period were the best side I have ever watched, all empires fall and teams eventually get found out.

We have discussed British leagues, the Uglies going to England on their own and who knows what else on this forum over the years. The only way that's ever going to happen IMO would be if the English giants like Man Utd and Arsenal decided that their future lay in a money spinning European league leaving room for the likes of Celtic to fill the gap.
The truth is, as somebody else alluded to in a post, that what we need to do is start some sort of campaign run by all non OF Scottish fans to encourage kids around Scotland to, if not support their local club, then at least not support the two erse cheeks ...... Celtic and Rangers play in front of crowds that are vastly out of proportion to the size of the city and I for one do not believe the support the have in Northern Ireland contributes significantly to the size of their crowds on a Saturday.
Their crowds are vastly inflated by 'supporters' from the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire towns and places like Greenock and Paisley .... not to mention the thousands who flock there from the east of Scotland ...... Its time we as fans ramped up the 'glory hunters' tag to such proportions that a non Glasgow OF fan will be ashamed to admit he or she is one ..... we have always held these folk in contempt, its time we 'all' found an organised way to show it.
Aye, but ma dad supported the Gers ..... so you come from a long line of glory hunters then

12 team league gives too many teams the fear factor when it comes to producing players - just look at how many teams have been dragged into the relegation battle this year. No one is willing to take a risk on bleeding the young players in to the squad and as a result there's hardly any decent Scottish talents emerging.
How do we go about getting the ugly sisters to split the gate receipt?
