It's nothing to do with being negative, and everything to do with looking at other countries. For example, when Ireland switched to summer football the attendances didn't change.

 

No way a fair to compare us and Ireland. Football is meant to be the number one sport in Scotland, same certainly can't be said for Ireland.

 

A good test will be when Russia returns to a Winter League, and see how their attendances are effected. With some clubs like Rubin already warning of major a fall in stadium based supporters.

 

Saying that, the way Boyle was speaking if he had his way it would be a summer league in all but name with a shut-down in December and January.

It's a fair comparison from a weather perspective which, if you believe the proponents of summer football, is going to have the fans coming out in droves to enjoy the sunshine. I don't the weather has nearly as big an impact on attendances than price and quality of product.

 

We don't suffer the same extremes of weather as Russia, so that comparison doesn't hold up.
