Auld Jag Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 3 Thistle games on the BBC Scotland channel. Our home game against Dundee Utd will now be Friday 9th August. Our away game against Morton, Friday 23rd August and away to Arbroath Friday 13th September. All games have a 7-05 pm ko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Away to Arbroath on a Friday night? Awful decision. Reckon all attendances for these 3 fixtures will now be much lower than the original dates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee fans having to travel to Glasgow for 7-05 on a Friday and likewise for our fans going to Arbroath. Once again common sense and Scottish football authorities , words never used in the same sentence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARu-Strathbungo Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 The only Friday games we should agree to partake in this season would be against Morton … simply put we can get down and back to Greenock quite easily, and the Ton supporters can get up to Glasgow and back home with few problems. Dundee United supporters through to Glasgow on a Friday night? … say 4 busses maximum? How many will travel to Arbroath on Friday the 13th?

I'm sure I was at a Thistle - Dundee United game a few seasons ago on a Friday night and they filled the away stand. Was 0-0 and we played really well.

JeanieD Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Morton away game originally had the potential issue of the nublu bigots playing St Mirren in Paisley - at least now the unpleasant prospect of possibly having to encounter these "people" has been eradicated - both games having been moved.

We will see how many they bring next month, but you miss my point …. if you have Friday games, make them easily commutable for both the home and away support given a 19.00 KO.

scotty Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Looking at the fixtures which have been changed and to be fair to the SPFL, there's probably only one or two which could have worked out better had it been done differently. The question has to be asked, if the money the league gets from BBC Scotland is more than the individual clubs lose out on gate money? I take it the fee is spread out accross the divisions and not just paid to the Championship clubs. So the answer to that could be no.

Lambies Lost Doo Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I like a Friday night game. Summer so pleasant weather even if it rains! Straight from work, drink, something to eat then game I can bring a couple neutral mates out with me and it fits in better with my family life. We all have young kids so having a whole Saturday afternoon away is not fair on them or wives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebaw1 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I hate Friday football as do most fans. I could understand it if Sky or BT were covering and paying decent money. But BBC for 3/4d is just plain daft. If it’s Doncaster he should be sacked for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
