Only a Game? The Story of Scottish Football - The Game 2/5

Part 2 of 5. Fantastic series from 1986 about Scottish football. Five programmes in total, this is episode four focusing on the game.

All well & good for Jim Mcclean to say clubs should merge.....but ppl have been saying that about the Dundee clubs for decades. Mergers rarely ever work, you only gain resourses whilst at the same time alienating 2 dedicated consumer bases that have been supporing the clubs in question for generations.

You can see the difference in attitude between the small club owners & "big" club owners. They see the small clubs as a nusiance. How often has the taxpayer had to underwrite teams such as Sevco Rangers & Hearts in recent years, Mr Mercer? And lets see how much ppl regularly attend Hearts & Hibs games in 2014/15 now that they're both in the championship. I bet they wont talk about merging
