[QUOTE="ecks tartan army, post: 145432"] agreed - scotland is a football nation (and im sure any people in paris this week will confirm the team has a massive following!). but there is a real feel good factor about scottish sport right now - our senior football side are in a fantastic position in group B, our U-19's reached the final of last years euro championships (where by the end they had won over 10,000 poles) and weve also had recent success in tennis with the murray brothers, in golf with the likes of richie ramsay, and turned in a great performance in last years commenwealth games. the platform is there to get real backing for the rugby team. but the SRU, as always, will **** it up! they TODAY joined forceswith the Scottish Government to advertise RWC tickets - just 48 hours before the game! this is backing they should have got MONTHS ago!!! they should also be starting big advertising drives for our pro-teams, capitalise on the increased interest during rugby world cup. but there is nothing! no advertising, no initiatives to get bums on seats (im sure an "introduce a friend for free" would be welcome! we have 20 vouchers in season tickets for 12 games - they could make the spare 8 transferable) but the SRU are absolutley hopeless, like the SFA until recently (SFA is widley regarded as an acronoun for Sweet F All) - but they have actuall started doing something. i hope for rugbys sake they follow suit. (not promising though as our new president was in the job for a month and a half before he actually said anything - and even that was only in a match program!) [/QUOTE]
