The Falkirk FC Thread
Ronnie Wutherspoon replied to Kris.'s topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
No statement from Falkirk FC yet? Maybe they're happy to be tacitly condoning discrimination and hate speech of course. -
I don't think AT would be asking these questions if he didn't already know the answers.... alex thomson @alextomo 7m Rangers denying rumours of possible Administration. But nothing on the specifics of W and N meeting Administrators in past 48 hours. alex thomson @alextomo 36m And will Rangers further deny Nash and Wallace have settled on one of them as potential Administrator? alex thomson @alextomo 37m Will Rangers deny that Nash and Wallace have met 2 potential Administrators in the past 48 hours? #c4news alex thomson @alextomo 43m Why is Jack Irvine contacting journos quite unsolicited tonight to deny possible imminent Admin to people who hadn't asked about it? alex thomson @alextomo 44m Some more questions for Rangers tonight - questions note - not statements ? alex thomson @alextomo 2h What is absolutely critical will be the crisis meeting called for tomorrow alex thomson @alextomo 3h Rangers to go into Administration on Wednesday? At least one senior Glasgow accountant is saying so tonight.

Walking Down The Halbeath Road
Ronnie Wutherspoon replied to Parscelona's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I remember it fairly well, I was living in Cherrybank at the time. The residents of Halbeath Road would have been up in arms if anyone had farted too loudly; that, allied to Cllr Jim Tolley's campaign made it all the more surprising that the Council did give approval. I only mention it now because it could be significant that the Council have given permission for commercial development of the area once; has that set a precedent? I kind of agree with burty though. EEP since the seats went in, isn't a patch on the place it used to be when it had the terracing, the cage, and the low roof; personally I wouldn't really mind too much if we didn't end up playing there if it helped the club have a future. -

I thought it was the collapse of Stadia Group that stopped the development of the hotel etc. at EEP, rather than any objections from residents? In fact, this would suggest that the Council did give approval for the hotel in 2000. -

It was always intended to be a pre-season friendly though wasn't it? That's certainly how I'd understood it. -

is it ticket money that's overdue? If so, why haven't FFC got the SFL involved? If it's not ticket money, e.g. is it money that FFC would be claiming for damage to the stadium for example, is there a danger that FFC themselves would be witholding ticket money and giving DAFC reason to get the SFL involved? It does sound like a tawdry situation on our part though, granted. ETA - a nice clear official statement would be helpful... -

Happy to be shown to be incorrect. -

Not really. But I'll give you a clue - it's not the exact same situation. -

OK, I'll indulge you. "Creditors wouldn't be "throwing good money after bad" by putting Dunfermline into administration because they've already handed that money over, with no guarantee of getting it back. Yet another bogus claim from a discredited poster." Creditors who wanted to put us (i.e. DAFC Ltd) into Admin, would have to pay to petition the Court to appoint an Administrator. In other words, more "good money". Understand that bit? Then, how do you suppose they would get anything back out of the insolvency process? It either goes to Liquidation or a CVA. In either case, DAFC Ltd owns very little in the way of assets - it's all under the banner of GM's other companies - so (i) there's not much that could be liquidated to provide a return for those Creditors, or (ii) GM has more than 75% of the CVA-qualifying debt so he has the final say. -

I can understand why you're thinking that, but any creditor who puts us into Admin would just be throwing good money after bad. In Admin, GM would be by far and away the largest creditor, way past the 75% mark, so it would all be done and dusted on his terms. -

Well we're never going to be able to buy GM out, so in that respect the figures aren't really important. What is important, is him accepting the principle that there are people & groups of people out there, willing to invest in the club, but they're no longer willing to pour money into the black hole he's created, and the days of him exerting total control need to end. Yep, he has a lot invested in there but it's not really worth much if the shutters go up.
