Common sense at long last is starting to prevail, the grass will have less winter games to cope with,in theory there should be more tourists popping in to watch a game, tv revenue, as it will start before the EPL (as pointed out by Mr Doncaster) less games when fans dont have as much cash and more time to fit in canceled games at a later date, no brainer really.
All we need to do now is hand over the decisions to call games off from the police regarding icy pavements to the council, roads and transport dept, they will be the wisest people to ask and if they say its not safe them its up to them to make it safe.
Not sure about this missing a game because of OF friendlies/tournaments though, a smaller club will lose money having to play them mid week as a result, unless an even amount of teams have prior engagements, that would be fair as no one is being put out then.
Or perhaps if a request is logged, then the team making the request forfeits a Saturday home game and that has to played mid week I dont see why smaller clubs should be punished due to an international marketing drive by one of the bigger clubs
Its nice to see Mr Doncaster applying common sense and making a decision for the good of Scottish football.
