Are Scottish football fans being ripped off? Peter Martin talks to Alastair Blair, operations director of the Scottish Football Union, about the SFU's survey of supporters: ticket and strip prices, VAR, fit and proper persons, league reconstruction, pyros, alcohol in grounds, disabled fans and the women's game.
Take the Scottish Football Union's survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SFUSDS
What is the Scottish Football Union survey?
A survey of supporters on 11 issues in Scottish football. You rank them, then answer detailed questions on your top three. It takes 12 to 15 minutes.
Why are fans angry about prices?
Ticket and strip prices, in a cost of living crisis: "people are going, look, people can't afford this."
What happens to the results?
The SFU is hoping to have them out early in the new year. They will be presented to the chief executives at Hampden and to politicians at Holyrood. Alastair Blair: "Will it create any change? I cannot sit here and say it will. But what it will do is it will advance the debate."
Does the SFU want rid of VAR?
Alastair Blair: "much as I personally would get rid of it tomorrow, right, I know it's not going to happen." The survey asks whether fans would accept more refereeing mistakes without it.
