Like most organisations, the financial pressures on SD Scotland intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, and posed a real threat to our ability to continue our work with supporters groups and grassroots sports clubs. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic we began re-thinking our business model, and were working to expand our commercial activities through our Club Development Scotland consultancy service. Our goal was, and remains, to reduce our reliance on grant funding whilst continuing to advocate for greater supporter engagement and involvement in the governance of our clubs and of the national game.
You can also contribute personally via our Patreon crowdfunding programme. We have introduced three new tiers, with merchandise featuring our "football without fans is nothing" graphic in order for us to recognise your contributions:
- Bronze tier supporters (donating £5 per month) will receive a sticker
- Silver tier supporters (donating £12.50 per month) will receive a coffee mug
- Gold tier supporters (donating £20 per month) will receive a t-shirt
Patreon supporters automatically become Associate Members of SD Scotland:
- You’ll be joining a network of fans and supporters groups working to ensure that supporters' voices are heard and influence positive change within the game.
- Receive regular updates on issues affecting Scottish football and/or its fans.
- Get involved in the democratic structures of Supporters Direct Scotland as one of our three Associate Directors.
