Why do we play our football during the winter months.
It`s about time we were doing the same as Ireland,
Norway and Sweden. Bring in the months of June and
July and forget about January and February.

I’ve been banging on about this for 15 years. It has all sorts of advantages and no insurmountable problems.
The real reason is that the SFA are too set in their ways.

Would that not mean the league deciders/promotion play-offs/cup final would be held in November/December when pitches aren`t famed for their quality and can be unplayable for weeks at a time?

Isn`t it the clubs who make these decisions rather than the SFA?

I want stuff to do in the winter, plenty to do in the summer.
Spent over £100 on tickets today, I`m frustrated but the Pars are the only show in town for me this time of year.
I would have plenty distractions in the summer.

It would be too disruptive.Players and club staff are just as entitled to have a holiday as we are.

No summer football for me. Plenty else going on throughout the summer and I’ve seen nothing to suggest attendances wouldn’t suffer. Besides, fitba is about the only thing that gets me through the winter.
I do think we need a rethink about artificial pitches- inferior to a good grass pitch but you only get a good grass pitch in the first third of the season- even Aberdeen and Dundee utd can’t get a game on and the rest are getting ploughed up.

What research have you seen that suggests crowds would go down?

I hate this argument 🤣
Only ever pops up when a pitch is frozen.
Having played a couple of seasons on the 7’s rugby circuit I’ll tell you this-swollen ankles and skint knees. A dried out pitch is as bad as a frozen one. Pitches aren’t like putting greens, there is divits, undulations and everything else. I get that they are look after pitches much better these days but there will still be that sort of thing in them.
what if we had a summer drought and they were allowed to water the grass? Beech football?

Sit in your shorts & T-shirt or wrapped up to the nines in freezing conditions??
Surely it’s worth having a winter shutdown in Jan-Feb. People go holidays all year round, days of the Glasgow fair are well gone.
Lot cheaper to water a pitch than run under soil heating.

Ok then how`s about starting the season in August
through to the 1st 2 weeks in December. Shut down
January and February. Then resume March to the end of June
Then use August to fix fixtures ect for the next season.

I would love summer football… for me it’s all about the temperature when you’re outside for hours, not doing much…
Number of times I’ve come home in real pain due to numb hands and feet (even in days that aren’t that cold to many)
For me selfishly, I’m delighted game of today as had already decided I wasn’t going to go as to cold for my old bones.

No.
We built a daft stadium that engulfs the pitch in shadow.
We are the only game off in the top 3 divisions.

Still remember in 2010, still snow in my front garden in April. Keep it as is for me. Usual topic pops up whenever a game gets called off. Still going to be playing this season in the summer at this rate!!

Delete "are" and insert "were" - travelling Ayr fans especially must be raging.

Surprised that Gayfield is not playable, near the sea and all.
Fog or wind aye.

Not so long ago wasn`t one of our League Cup ties in July/August called off because of torrential rain during the warm-up?
