The Growing Cost of Scottish Football

 Steven Kellow    Football  ,

Last week brought into sharp focus the way in which the game of the people in this country has become more commercialised than ever before.  There were two flashpoints in this enduring theme: the BBC’s publication of their annual Price of Football report and the release of Scotland tickets for both the Euro 2016 qualifier against the Republic of Ireland and the glamour friendly against the Auld Enemy of England.  Both of these highlighted how much it now costs for fans to fully get behind — Read more →

We’re well into the season now, and as has become rather common over the last few years the league hasn’t really panned out as many people expected it to.  Teams used to the high life at the top of the tables are coming to terms with different sorts of battles while newcomers and upstarts are proving to be doing great things and playing good football.
