Adolfo Rios Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Can’t believe Poet is actually your first name. Good to hear clubs are taking a stance. I’ve asked the question and hopefully we respond. I’m certain we are against it despite what is reported. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I feel a little guilty about the "in confidence" bit but assume it's ok seven months later... Also, I've changed my real name to P&B user name in case anyone think I'm an absolute lunatic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OF are just the prototypes, if we bend over and take them then Hearts, Hibs and the likes will want their share. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Frankly seething that the Binos are leading the way with this. Well done, you utter b*****ds. Best we've managed so far is, "we haven't formed an opinion yet, and will take fan views into account, but it's not going to affect our decision" <_> This is more than club loyalty, got to put that to one side on such issues. To a man, I think it's fair to say, but I've no faith in our chairman's position considering he's a rabid Tory Alloa Chairman, local exploiter AND a bloody Tory, even more reason to hate Mike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMonc Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Email sent to the Edinburgh City chairman, genuinely not sure which side our board will fall on this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazil85 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm hoping all clubs that have previously said they would vote against this come out to re-confirm ASAP. The list last time was; Arbroath, Albion Rovers, Dunfermline Athletic, Clyde, Queen of the South and Cowdenbeath. Add Stirling Albion to that and the deal is already dead with eight No votes. Can't think of any reason why the clubs would change other than accepting the SPFL bribe which in itself should be investigated. Mind you who would do it... SFA, UEFA, FIFA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolfo Rios Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Most recent written confirmation we are against it. Chairman said we are against at the AGM in December also. Owners have asked the question so I’d expect an answer In the next couple of days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeSAFC Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 To a man, I think it's fair to say, but I've no faith in our chairman's position considering he's a rabid Tory and SPFL board member. I'd imagine his opinion will revolve around the balance sheet. Get the club emailed, let them know you and I'd imagine most tinks are against it. Theres no way he can ignore the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Get banners made up for this weekends' games, even if they're just bed sheet and paint jobs. They would be at least a very visual demonstration of how massively unpopular the plan is and if there were enough might get some media coverage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Wouldn't count on the media coverage bit. At least not from the Scottish media. They'd ignore it and pander to the OF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The other good thing (apart from the comedy) that Sevco-gate taught us is that if you hold a gun to a football club board's head over season tickets, they will fold. Same needs to happen here again. #notocolts 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Surprised our Lauchlan hasn't put his disdain on record, yet. Would be very surprised if he was supportive. To be honest, I don't even want Ayr to meet with any representatives from those mutants or that utter cretin Malky McKay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd_mo Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've skimmed through this topic for months and every time it gets bumped I worry about the new posted content. Tonight I actually decided to stop and send an email to Montrose to see if the club a.) has a stance on the potential introduction of Colts to the league pyramid and is willing to share this stance and reasons for it, and b.) will they make opportunities for fans to get to ask their questions and have their concerns listened to. I'd hope at least all the folks taking the time to vent their concerns here on P&B have also done so with their clubs and not just skimmed through the pages like I had been doing, hoping that nothing happens. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
