I honestly don't know. However, I am sure they will look at all clubs and treat them fairly and base any decision on the imformation that is presented to them. That's all you can ask really.
Personally I would be torn between Annan & Spartans. I know they have a great set up at Galabank and I am sure they would be a great addition to the SFL. Spartans also have a great set up, with an academy and new stadium on the go and I am sure a lot of clubs will be impressed with this. I think it will be tight but I think Spartans will get the nod on this occasion.
That said,I don't think the clubs that lose out should be disappointed for too long, as hopefully this will be a catalyst for ambitious clubs to lobby for change with a sustainable pyramid system to be introduced. It is long overdue.

I hope Saints vote for Spartans as Mickey Lawson was a great Saintee in the 80,s and because they genuinely do seem to have the best facilities.They can also get a half decent crowd..

Annan I hope! Stranraer will vote for Annan I'd say and maybe Ayr United? Can't see many other votes coming in for them, Spartans will win entry to the league.

Spartans. It's a forgone conclusion. Their excellent new facilities being constructed at Ainslie Park will effectively secure senior status for them & rightly so. There's an established youth development system at Spartans I read & there aren't many clubs at that level able to offer their young players facilities of that quality.
It'd be in the best interests of Scots' football to admit them.

Can't see past spartans, however who said that folk were going to vote for the best option.
Look at the Gretna vote - they voted in the shittiest wee village team they could both in a bid for self preservation and a vote against Airdrieonians and it all came back to bite the clubs on the arse big time. Deservedly so, too.

Would imagine Livi would vote for Spartans or Edinburgh City, Spartans because they came from City Park (obviously they've moved now) where we were many years ago as Ferranti Thistle, or Edinburgh City at Meadowbank. Personally I think another team from Edinburgh would be a bad idea, someone from the Highland League would be good.

I wouldn't vote for any of them, unless they were going to replace Dundee that is...

We might from what im hearing. Coves quite a distance and we get our players mainly from Edinburgh and might not want the competition, so for selfish reasons I can see us voting them.

I think Thistle would probably vote Spartans, however we really dont want a team that say they can perform when they cant and cant keep up with the financial rigmaral of the SFL and spartans would probably be the best candidate as they proved a few years ago with a decent cup run.

I personally would have had third Lanark, but i think Dundee will vote for Annan, especially after being rejected 6 years ago and their currently ongoing stadium development.Hope they get in as they are proably the best of all the candidates.
County will vote for Cove, I am not sure if they will get enough votes especially with the setup at Spartans. Incidentally is it just SFL members that get votes or do the SPL sides get to vote as well? It was our canvassing of the Premier League sides at that time that got us enough votes to get elected to the SFL.

I think we should vote for the poorest option since they won't affect our status too much.
Morton are now behind a team that has been admitted to the league lately (ICT) and are going to be threatened by Ross County soon - meaning it is harder than ever for us to win the First Division team. Voting for the diddiest of the applicants would help keep us up the leagues hopefully

Due to geography Rae will want to keep Cove out at all costs.
Probably Spartans or Annan: he will, as ever, go for the option that he thinks is most popular.
They'll lose the vote.

The correct answer is they will all, well a sufficient amount so not to look too suspicious, vote for whoever they are told to vote for..........again.
Nevermind this, there should be a vote on which 3rd division pub team(s) to vote out.
