ClydebankJag Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 This makes for an interesting, and quite detailed, read. Not sure what, if anything, can be concluded but there are some stand out issues.

ClydebankJag Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Quite notable that, on average, our teams take in €22 (£15.94) per paying fan attending matches in the top flight. This makes us the fifth highest ticket prices in Europe, only clubs in England (€49, £35.54), Spain, Switzerland (€38, £27.57) and Germany (€36, £26.12) take in more per paying customer.  However our income from commercial activities is very low so is it the case that we fans are getting hammered because our game cannot gain adequate income from marketing?

Rid Skwerr Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) On a quick scan through that, the thing that sticks out for me is ...... Â The total complacency of Neil Doncaster.

Jaggernaut Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 On a quick scan through that, the think that sticks out for me is ...... Â The total complacency of Neil Doncaster. Â He comes across as less than useless, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Doncaster's solution to the problems in Scottish football over the last few years is simple. Wait for Rangers to turn up. Clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearchar Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 "Austria, where the German Bundesliga enjoys such popularity, have a deal worth €5m (£3.6m) less than Scotland" is just one neighbouring country, and avoids the other obvious comparison - with Denmark, where both Bundesliga and local leagues are broadcast, but the Danish income from broadcasting is over one and a half times as high.  There are also severe structural problems in Scottish football, with clubs all having to act on individual initiatives (e.g. "swapping" rights to season ticket holders getting reduced tickets, provided that both clubs agree). A unified approach to marketing for commercial purposes and to pushing for input to fans' transport, for example, would inevitably yield better results. Well, provided that Doncaster didn't have anything to do with it, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I've got to be honest and own up when I say I used to think Neil Doncaster was a clueless imbecile. In fairness to myself I wasn't privy to most of the details and facts in this report. Having revised my opinion It's now clear to me that Doncaster is actually a self serving clueless imbecile.

Garscube Road End Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) While we have the corrupt authorities that are only interested in the regular bigotfest of a certain two scumbag clubs Scottish football will always be a joke! And I'm afraid it will NEVER change! Edited October 25, 2015 by Garscube Road End Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
