Another shambles from the SPFL.

Once again the supporters of Celtic Football Club have been treated with disdain by the authorities who are supposed to be running Scottish Football for the benefit of all concerned.
This is not the first time it has happened either, so you would think somebody would have learned a lesson; but apparently not.
Five fixtures and not one on a Saturday at 3pm; and all for the benefit of who, the armchair supporters who pay for the television deals; its certainly not for the benefit of the supporters who attend matches every week.
It makes a mockery of the famous quote from Big Jock Football without fans is nothing the way these clowns are heading is downhill fast; and Scottish Football will fall flat on its face because supporters wont be going to matches.
How do these idiots entice supporters to buy season tickets which are the lifeblood of every professional football team; no matter how many they sell? It lets teams get through the early part of the season by giving them the funds to do business.
Celtic sell the most season tickets of all the teams in Scotland; but its still about 15,000 down on its peak season; and why? Because why would people buy a season ticket when they dont actually know when the matches will be played?
How many people are regularly missing matches because it clashes with work commitments? You only have to look at the numbers attending Celtic Park; there are about 10,000 missing at almost every home match; i think the only match we sold out all season was against Inter Milan.
Maybe thats the reason for the match officiating by clowns like Thomson and Collum; they are terrified that Celtic will win the league early; and our supporters will stop going to away matches and subsidising all the other teams in the league.
Why dont they do something to try to attract paying supporters who have supported their team all season? Why dont all teams charge a maximum of £10 for the visiting fans after the split? Instead we will be charged £25 for each of the three matches after the split; add to that the cost of travel all over the Highlands; no wonder supporters are throwing in the towel; i just with the idiots who are supposed to be running Scottish Football would throw the towel in.
