No doubt, but so what? At the end of the day, this is the biggest health crisis to hit the world in the last 100 years. The health of Raith Rovers means little in the circumstances.

Shuggy 1,308 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 12 minutes ago, The Dude said: Because it's not just prize money. TV money and prize money is pooled and paid throughout the year. Clubs will be guaranteed a minimum payment based on their division, with that amount paid out over the course of the campaign and their final position will trigger a final payment. Well, I was just talking about prize money and it looks like they will get all that anyway. The other issue is TV money which I didn't mention, with 80% of the season complete, if there is a proportionate 20% amount left to pay, it depends what the TV contract says about this force majeure situation. As someone else said, the government may step in to help clubs as businesses. I doubt anyone is going to the wall here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only logical explanation is they wanted this game to take place before the rules kicked in. We can speculate on why this is, but imo the last thing they want to do is have it cancelled.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It is a valid point that 50,000 can be at Ibrox on Sunday but only 500 if it was played the following day. The whole thing is nuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only recommended,the excuse that the game goes ahead comes from the pish that there is low health risk ,theory that anybody with symptoms shouldn’t be going anyway and that there is no strain on emergency services yet and the shifts have been allocated . Common sense says that emergency services will be stretched in the near future so why not let them have a break What the REAL reason us up for debate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 30 minutes ago, The Dude said: So what do you propose? Every set of circumstances - bar continuing as normal - will affect every club in Scotland worse than celtic. If it’s not palatable for EFL clubs to play games behind closed doors possibly forcing the demise of football teams then it shouldn’t be palatable for Scottish football either. Suspension seems to be where they’re at, allowing these clubs gate income at a later date. If the government is forcing teams to play that rely on gate receipts then it’s incumbent on the government to replace that income that’ll be lost. Would expulsion of the league be better than playing behind closed doors, not sure but guess they won’t have the costs that come from hosting the game i.e ground care but still help should be giving to smaller teams.
