1320Lichtie Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Anyone heard anything back from their club? Like I keep saying it only needs 11 clubs to reject it. Arbroath will definitely be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBank Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Get Colt teams tae f**k. Pretty unanimous from St Mirren supporters. Hopefully the fans' group buying the Club will canvas their membership and present it to the current Board as our official response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear is that the fans of lower league clubs will be against the idea but the folk running the clubs will be in favour, which will cause a lot of problems.

BallochSonsFan Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 This, with knobs on. You can see them trying to spin the idea that an OF colt team will attract a travelling support plus locals who live in the area but follow an OF club. Extra 4 big gates a season.Some things are worth more than money. Fans need to be strong and oppose this colt nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im_Rodger Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I have a bad feeling that Accies will be in support of this. However 11 teams is all we need. Hopefully we get that amount. And a majority will put the issue to bed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I notice that the Youth teams will now be able to play Championship clubs in the first round of the Diddy Cup.Clearly an attempt to increase attendances by playing.A boycott is needed. It might be the only way some clubs will listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm worried about Morton's stance. I'd really hope that Celtic using Cappielow and us doing quite well out of loan deals from them won't see our own stance influenced, but I've got a horrible feeling money will talk. I made the point on the Morton forum the other week that I'd like to see the Supporters' Trust making noises towards the club and they've since asked the fans' views on their Facebook page, but it's time they got a lot more vocal and put pressure on the club to reject the moves.

Bazil85 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 If the fan owned clubs like St Mirren, Stirling, Clyde backed this without consulting fans it would be suicide. Smisa at St Mirren have said they'd canvas fans and that'll likely come back with a big support for rejecting this idea. I think there has to be a solid stance from clubs that we do not want this. When the challenge cup fixtures come out I'd like to see any club playing a Colt to have very low attendance turn outs. If St Mirren are one I won't be there for sure. So many people have said they'd walk away if the Colt idea comes to. Can completely understand this and surely any spfl bribe to smaller clubs won't be enough to financially compensate losing fans.

Im_Rodger Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 If giving the U20s participation in the irn bru cup will shut them up about let them stay in it. Keep them no where near the SPFL League set up though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
