The SFL leads by example

TRFC think I remember something about health and safety not allowing Lennextown or MP as spectator venues.
No further info on such just have a vague recollection of something along those lines

Dc - cant see the colt sides getting that many through the gate even if the tickets were free. You only have to look at the reserve matches and the attendances

And also give a wee bit off terracing back to the ultras(16 and over) But the main men have a place on the boards and must obide by strict rules set by the club!

THe Aussie rules teams here used to alway play colt matches prior to the first team games amd also as mentioned above the double headers in baseball as mentioned above. The time between the matches would allow the catering facilities at both ground to offer a broader range of options also and as we all know new revenue streams is an ongoing goal for every side

They wont actually just be reserve sides though TRFC they will be actuall 3rd division sides. Seems to be working out allright for that new mob at present

TRFC - why not? If it is basically the other "half" of a first team type squad with a mix of youngsters and more experienced players either coming back to fitness or not selected for first team for other reasons, then basically you have what we are watching every week with Rangers in Div 3.

Certainly having the games on at same day as A games may not work due to away fans changeover etc - for example Hibs coming for A game after colts play Alloa - seriously complicated in seat allocation etc.

Having them on alternate games would make far more use of CP & Ibrox. And if, for example, both OF A teams dropped out of League Cup for example, with B team taking place, that revitalises a comp and helps OF with trying to improve European co-eff.

This idea really does look at things in the right way.

And what is more, I can see the SFL teams liking it - a lot.

Away to watch the tennis and will leave you with this thought. If this is to come to pass McCoist better make sure he is out of the 3rd division to make room for the colts
Enjoy your night lads

Why dont the lower leagues play summer football and the SPL play the normal season yet cup competitions and friendlies keep the lower teams going if they want?

for example Hibs coming for A game after colts play Alloa

Never thought about the Hibs and Alloa Ultras having a square go

Not what I meant -clearly Hibs will bring more away fans than Alloa - hence issue with ticketing etc.
