    SFA list of Licenced Clubs

    https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/3...tatus-2018.pdf

    Interesting to see that Tincastle is only a silver rated stadium. Obviously SFA do not recognise the 8th wonder of the world for what it is.

    Seriously, does anyone know how they set the criteria?

    Tynecastle in not complaint with UEFA standards.

    The pitch is too small and the run off areas beyond the pitch are too small.

    They only get to play there by obtaining annual dispensations.

    Can see why it would be rated platinum but does seem strange it doesn't have any categories as platinum except for overall.

    Interesting that it's only us and St Mirren that get gold overall.

    How can Pittodrie and Ibrox possibly be the same category?





    Ibrox is streets ahead of Pittodrie, surely?

    Oops, looked at wrong category

    As far as i can see The Rangers get gold and Aberdeen get silver for their grounds. How Falkirk with their 3 stands effort and plastic pitch get silver is beyond me.

    ...and on the day of the assessment the methadone factory, the distillery and the brewery were all venting their respective gasses, so it stank like king kong's socks.

    You're right, sorry, I was looking at the overall collumn, not the stadium one.

    So the SFA rate us as the second best club in Scotland? No bad!

    Now for 2nd (maybe 1st) place in the league next season!

    So Easter Road is a Gold standard stadium whilst Ibrox is only a Silver.

    I can see another statement being drafted. One start "It's beyond belief....."

    St mirren gold too, I know a lot of youth matches are played there.

    I wonder what's so special about the legal/admin of Elgin city. The gold sticks out like a sore thumb

    Maybe due to restrited view seating? Or security of visiting supporters?

    Got to assume the Jambos will never achieve a gold standard for the rust arena ..... Any bigwigs from the SFA or UEFA ( not a problem next season ) would have to be underwhelmed by having to mix with the great unwashed when moving from the directors area to hospitality.

    Same with the press ... I would imagine journalists hate their stuff getting rained on

    I dare say even then their new stand might be UEFA compliant one day ... as much use as a fork in a soup eating contest when their pitch will never be

    Could it be capacity and therefore ability to host major European ties such as Europe League final ?

    Joint statement from the glib and shameless one and the good doctor perhaps?

    A declaration that silver is the new gold should satisfy their audiences.
