Dubaijim 44 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 how hard could it be to put some form of roof on our stadia? I am not talking about the likes of the retractable state of the art thing at Wimbledon, but some thing that was maybe fabric based, like canvas that just keeps out the worst of the rain. Most of the time sitting at Ibrox in winter its cold anyway - but if the rain is slanting into the front of the stands the current stand roofs only offer protection if you sit far back - its not a lot of fun.Used to goto the Bernabeau on a regular basis and they have heaters in the stand to help with the cold weather - doesn't get cold too often in Madrid but at least they have some form of protection for when it does. Roofs are a good idea but expensive - heaters would be a start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bob 1,360 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I think it would have a negative financial impact on clubs.ST sales would be down as the bowlers,golfers,cricketers etc wouldnt be buying them.Factor in folk going on holiday and attendance figures would drop dramatically.

Lidl 191 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 We should have a 16 team league and start early with a 3 week winter break starting after the boxing day games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris182 6,310 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 How would this effect the mid to late stages of Europa and CL? Have the SPFL completely given up of progressing in these comps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,275 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Part of it yes. Why should we shield young players away from the weather? Too pampered from a young age. One of many things thats wrong with the game. They want to be pros but can't play in all weather conditions so we just play in the sunshine to protect pro footballers from rain and cold? Not for me.That's just nonsense, poor facilities and not enough kids playing football are two things wrong with our game, both completely contradict your point.Kids should be playing football in an environment conducive to improving their abilities.

The league could close for Jan and Feb. I don't even like getting out of bed then, never mind to the football. Its the same with most people I know.

Not for me.they are not too pampered - I watch my 15 year olds team they are out playing in shite weather and hating it - just as I was playing in shite weather and hating it 30 years ago when i done it. Next you'll be saying blaze pitches makes you a better player and we should go back to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Imagine how good a player Messi could've been if only he had to play through a Scottish winter as a youngster.

Drunk and disorderly. 14,488 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I am majorly against summer football. Aye it would be great to sit and sup a pint on a warm Saturday then stroll round to watch rangers in the sun. Berwick away in 2012 a fine example but I am a traditionalist football is a winter sport. Most fans do other stuff in the summer that they would lose out on. Keep it in winter I say when football should be playedShould be moved to the Winter Olympics really. What were the Olympic Committee thinking? Derranged bastards!On a side note, why all the double letters in committee? No wonder the take so long to do things. Stuttery c*nts.
