Scottish Special: Livi Extend Deal & 'No Nil Nils' at Falkirk

Livingston FC were the subject of an article here on Affordable Football a few weeks ago when we looked at the Scottish Championship side's decision to cut season ticket prices for the 2014/15 season and an open and honest assessment of the reasons why from chairman Gordon McDougall.

Early bird season tickets are on offer at £180 for adults (£10 a game for a season when both Rangers and Hearts will be visiting), £90 for concessions and £54 for children. The deadline has now been extended until the end of June to allow more supporters the time to get the necessary finance together.
Mr McDougall has also issued an updated statement in which he says prices will be held for the 2015/16 season as well while for those who cannot find the money needed in a lump sum a £10 lucky dip Home Ticket scheme has also been launched to extend the principle of attending matches for £10.

Falkirk FC, beaten in the play-offs for a place in the Scottish Premiership recently, have pegged season ticket prices for 2014/15 and have kept in place their 'Under 12's go free' policy.


One new initiative that the Bairns have announced however is 'No Nil Nils' whereby if a game ends in a goalless draw then season ticket holders will be issued with a free ticket to bring a friend along to the next match.


Also in Scotland (just), Gretna FC host their pre-season Raydale Cup tournament on the weekend of 12/13 July with the hosts taking part alongside Stirling Albion, Annan Athletic and Workington Reds AFC. A ticket covering all four games is priced at £10 for adults and £3 for children.
