This sobering chart is not about Aberdeen. Could be any Club. Going to the Euros reminds us, certainly those of us old enough to remember, that Scottish Football has the unique ability to galvanise a whole nation, perhaps more so today than at any other time. https://twitter.com/AberdeenFC/status/1327242409353338881
2/ Scottish Football, thru Club Community Trusts, invests at least £10m each year back into our communities. At Aberdeen we employ 40 staff dedicated to our outreach programs. The Outcomes data from Scottish Football's contribution to society is compelling!
3/ Scottish Football's investment in academies also runs into the millions every single year. At Aberdeen it's £1.5m a year. Our U21 national team is on the brink of reaching their finals too. Arguably, these boys are the best group of young players we've developed.
4/ What about fairness in restrictions. The highly regulated Tests we've pulled off should be no surprise to @jasonleitch who told Clubs outdoor fresh air events in stadiums were more palatable than indoor events. Witness the unregulated, hopefully isolated, mess Thursday night!
5/ Some clubs have reluctantly cut back on community programs & academies to stay competitive at first team level. It's called survival! What Scottish Football needs is urgent dialogue, encouragement & a plan to get fans back safely. Will @NicolaSturgeon @jasonleitch meet us?
6/ Finally, it's about time we as Scottish Football fans stood up for the good we do, the lives we touch, & the positivity we bring to our communities. If we as fans don't stand up for Scottish Football... who else will! For us... Nothing Matters More!
