Doncaster: Summer Switch Difficult

Published 6th Jul 2015

Neil Doncaster admits FIFA and UEFA will have to loosen their grip on the football calendar before Scotland can seriously examine switching its season to the summer. A survey last month claimed 10 of the Ladbrokes Premiership's 12 clubs would consider the move in a bid to entice fans back through turnstiles. But Scottish Professional Football League chief executive Doncaster has warned change will be hard to push through while the world and European governing bodies insist upon exclusive dates for international and Champions League fixtures.
