I was just having a look at our fixtures in the next few months.
In November and March we are only playing 2 games but in January we have 7. I know there are reasons for this (Scottish Cup ties, International games), but it seems crazy to ask fans to pay for 7 games in January. Surely there could be a way to spread them out more evenly, or even just have more games towards the end of the season when the weather is better.
A lot teams are really struggling for crowds right now. Is asking fans to turn up in the freezing cold in January, when they are also skint after Christmas the way to get fans back to the games? Seems like madness to me. Is anyone in power looking at the way games are scheduled in this country? I know clubs rely heavily on TV money and are at at the mercy of their scheduling, but surely there has to be change.
Asking Aberdeen fans to travel to Hamilton on Friday night, and us to Aberdeen this week is bonkers. The nutters and financially able will be there, but the fixtures dates and time are killing it for the majority.
Thoughts and feelings?
