[Ozyhibby]

A new Scottish Football Fans association was launched today at Holyrood to try and improve governance in Scottish football.

The website is here

And they are looking for fans views here

Only takes a minute to sign up. Appears to be well funded with the backing of some politicians.

Easy to do & important; Reagan & Doncaster will be encouraging their cronies to complete this & say they're Erchie, it's a chance to
make it clear what fans think of them & their organisations.

Done. Sounds like we all share one view on the hierarchy.

Done. I will not be surprised if the results all come out to be very similar. Doncaster & Regan need to GTF!

It asks what team you support. Just to help them weed out all of the "irrelevant" football fans in Scotland.

Exactly. No need to fill out any online questionaire. They useless idiots know what we think of them and their media pals.

Will things change if i take part? No. Will things change if i don't take part? No.

[SON OF PADDY]

Is this replacing the previous incarnation of SFSA that has been around for some time?

It appears to be new.
There is an interview here.

While this is a somewhat new organisation, it is really the latest incarnation of Paul Goodwin needs a job after leaving his last job doing exactly the same thing. This survey is just the latest version of the survey by these various groups that you have taken over the years. The difference is that they think slapping the name of some Germans on it will get it taken more seriously.

[Ozyhibby]

2700 took part already.

What is with the focus on women's fitba at the moment though? I answered i dont know to all qs on women's fitba.

There is definitely a push on women's fitba and i juat dont get, its up to women to promote women's sport, and i dont know any that do so why should we?

I quite admire the Man Utd stance on it all, despite the pressure to do so, they steadfastly stick to their guns that that is not what Man U are for.

Who is the "we" that you refer to? Are you questioning why men might wish to promote women's football?

What's the problem with women's football?

A wee bit - i think it gets coverage from that is way out of ptoportion to the level of interest in it. Its coverage is not being driven by participation or spectator numbers, thats for sure.

Ultimately, its just sub-standard football.

[Sean1875]

Complete. Interesting to see if anything comes of all this but I wont be holding my breath unfortunately.

Does it? The odd game shown live on Alba?
There is no money in the Scottish Women's game and the players are mainly amateurs except for the ones who play outwith Scotland.

I've watched a lot of sub standard football in my time (English Conference, Scottish League 2, Scottish Lowland League) that gets a shed load more coverage than the women's game.

In my humble opinion, yeah it does.

Filled it in, but to be honest I doubt it will make a huge difference, the folk in charge already know what we think of them and I haven't seen any headlong rush from them to quit or change for that matter.

I had to laugh at the question about politicians putting pressure on the governing bodies ..... Plenty of politicians have plenty to say about Scottish football already, but ask them to come up with some money for the game and what you get is silence. I see the UK and Scottish government have come up with a billion and a half quid to spend on Edinburgh and south east Scotland, which includes a new 'concert hall' in Edinburgh.

That hall will be used no doubt by professional acts and theatre companies who will not have contributed a red cent to its construction and any profit the place makes will not be returned to the public purse ...... in view of that I cant see why finding money to improve the infrastructure of Scotland's football clubs is such an impossibility ..... No, if politicians want to get involved in Scottish football somebody should tell them we have no shortage of hot air, we do have a shortage of cash.

Bands and theatre companies have to rent concert halls and the venues usually do quite well out of it?

I said no to this question. It is not the Scottish Govts job to run football - they habe enough on their plate.

Also, i think it is a dangerous road to go down, inviting political input.
