A brilliantly written article. We want to make it more affordable for our fans to travel to away games. We also want to play our part in helping to make Scottish football better for all fans. 🏴 has arguably the most passionate/loyal fans in Europe, it’s time to recognise them
“Look what can happen if you don't take your fans for granted. And if you do take them for granted, eventually a day of reckoning comes." Gillian Mackay MSP calls for £25 cap on tickets, and Falkirk CEO Jamie Swinney explains why his club is in favour. https://t.co/HbVafbAMJC

It's time to cap football ticket prices in Scotland. Caps are already common in European competitions and the English Premiership. With 71% saying traditional supporters are being priced out, there's no reason for Scotland not to do it too. Football belongs to the fans.

Unacceptable, violent and dangerous policing towards football fans is becoming far too common in Scotland. @HibernianFC must demand answers and fans of all clubs should stand in solidarity. The Scottish Government and politicians need to intervene to prevent further incidents.

Football is meant to be for everyone, but all over our country there are families being priced out of it. That's why I'm calling on a £25 price cap for travelling fans!

A new poll puts us in second place! With 7 MSPs we delivered free bus travel under 22s, ended peak rail fares, banned new incinerators, increased taxes on the rich, scrapped school meal debt, introduced rent controls, and much more. Imagine what we could do with double that. 👀

“The Chair of the Sheku Bayoh Public Inquiry has resigned. The family are devastated by the decision of Lord Bracadale, a judge who treated them with compassion & respect. Over 10 years ago, Sheku died in police hands & his family have fought for the truth and justice ever since.

Sian Berry, Green MP, is wearing trainers to the Commons. Shows a sad disrespect for the Palace of Westminster which she is so lucky to work in.

Incredible work from @Greganderson_21 and all involved in this project. It’s looking great! 👏 Only possible thanks to members and supporters of the @TheWellSociety. Funded from events and fundraising activities in a bid to boost income for the football club! 📈
This has been a labour of love for me this summer but we finally got the grass down at Mrs Baillies bar this week. Now for a larger permanent cover for above the grass to give us an all weather fan zone and we are just about there @TheWellSociety @MotherwellFC ❤️⚽️

Scottish Football Fans Say: VAR Is Failing Us – It’s Time for Change
🗣️ "I was surprised the referee didn't hold his ground." 🗣️ "No one thought that was a foul. They stopped a great goal." The Ref Watch team questioned why Motherwell's goal against Falkirk was ruled out for a foul by Ibrahim Said on Brad Spencer. Thoughts? ⤵️
