Away and don't talk pish, do you think that it is fun being an Airdrie Supporter watching the curent level of football on offer, most fans want the team to be relegated and rebuild at a level which the team is pitched. We are not the curse and we do not need our arses saving, as stated by most of the other posters which have a brain, we are some of the few actually operating within our means

Please god let it be just a 10 point deduction, 25 would put them below us. Last thing we need now is false hope of avoiding relegation

We are assuming that the local council has any interest in the local football club to begin with, I am of the opinion that the vast majority of our councillers are season ticket holders at one or other of the Ugly Sisters and have no interest whatsoever in the clubs that lie within their jurisdiction.

1) I am a trainspotter. Yip, a genuine Anorak wearing number collector with a loft full of models. my favorite away ground is Starks Park, if Airdrie are playing their usual shite I can always turn round and watch the trains go by. 2) That is enough

Who gave him the bus fare??

Sitting in the Internet Cafe in my Hotel in Salou, it is 26 degrees and the sky is bright blue, already had a few beers, and the news means that I will certainly have a good few more. Can life get any better...... Oh yes, my team has just won promotion The Airdrie Playoff Curse Remains a potent force. GIRUY Teddy Bears, that is all.

A bit of a haddie that has had his chips!!

Got there first, meant to add - served with freshly dug Ibrox potatoes and spring Green(s)

Lamb cutlets??

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-18675046 Japanese tourist guide warning over Scots football and sausage A new guide book for Japanese tourists visiting Scotland has warned them to avoid people wearing football shirts, and not to eat flat sausages.Written in Japanese, the Insider's Guide to Scotland, is published by Edinburgh-based Luath Press. In the book, potential visitors are told never to approach men wearing green or blue football tops, but to make sure they go on a pub crawl and get "merrily drunk" on Scottish whisky.

Unfortunately not entirely true. I heard this very story from a very reliable source with contacts close to the SFL on Monday, it was being discussed extensively by all clubs in the First Division and a deal was close to being hammered out.

http://www.scotsman.com/sport/clyde_to_leave_broadwood_1_1521007, subsequent pages of discussion on this site suggest that Clyde will remain there for another five years, but the long term objective is still to move away.

My runners for this race are: Airdrie United (unfortunately) - Pro Rangers Chairman, if offered a pot of cash and a guaranteed board place that would mean that he could retain his position with the SFL and SFA I think he might take it, does not have the greatest relationship with the Airdrie Fans. Only drawback is that it is thought that he also is part of the company that owns the ground, which would become a difficult asset to dispose of Cowdenbeath - also Pro Rangers Chaiman, shortly to have no ground, very small fanbase. Clyde - again shortly to have no ground as they dissolve their partnership with NLC, very small fanbase. East Stirling - currently with no ground and also very small fanbase.

And don't forget Harry is a Ginger

I hope one thing that comes out of this whole issue is that Old Firm "fans", "journalists" and other arrogant groupings will stop referring to clubs at the lower end of the SPL, and everyone in the SFL as "diddy clubs". I have always found that description very disingenuous, we are not "diddy clubs", we are small but potentially powerful. The clubs that get tagged with this label are well run by very hard working board members and their fans, though unfortunately few, are loyal and when threatened by issues like the Rangers attempts to railroad themselves back into the SPL have shown that they can band together to form a strong and well organised opposition that as we have seen , can get results. I have often wondered if clowns like Chick Young or Jim Traynor were told repeatedly enough that they are "diddy journalists" working for "diddy newspapers" then they would lash out with legal action, threatening slander, but after all the Daily Record is hardly in the same league as The Telegraph or Die Welt. We can start by stopping referring to ourselves as "Diddy Clubs" please

According to Radio Scotland there will be an official photograph of her Maj shaking hands with Martin McGuiness, I reckon within 2 minutes of the photo being published there will be a photoshopped version with witty comments about the Rangers Demise. Get your comments ready now!!

Is this an old firm Link

Because either Dunfermline or Dundee would drop out and they are in the East Section of the Draw, The Billy Zombies would be in the west section of the draw.

Apply for what - there isn't a vacancy yet, the SPL have not as far as I know made any offer of a place to any other team to fill the vacant place left due to the demise of Rangers, and from what I have read in other forums there may be a legal battle to see whether Dunfermline or Dundee take up any place when it becomes available. Only then can the SFL accept applications for a place in their divisions. Witht eh start of the season fast approacing they all better get their collective skates on to avoid chaos at the start of the season.

Why is this thread still in the "SPL General Chatter" Forum, surely about time to have it removed, question is, where to put it, I suppose we could have a Forum of its own, - the Limbo Forum for example

Just like the ending of many John Carpenter Movies, dawn breaks, the surviving hero and heroine are tired, bloody but alive, the monster/zombies/evil creature (delete as applicable) have been killed and they walk off into the rising sun, but just at the last second, on he last frame of film, there is a twitch of evil life yet - THE END(?)

While I can totally see and agree with the logic of this post, I think that the FA/SFA et all will want to quash the idea for the simple reason that it would set a precedent which at least one other large Scottish Club would wish to follow.

Has Jimmy Carr replaced Andy Cameron as the official Club 12 comedian, sounds as though he fits in perfectly with that mob

I think Queens Park Rangers would have something to say about that

OK - If I have read this correctly, if the Celtic chairman votes against it, but the vote still goes in Newcos favour, Celtic fans will boycott all the clubs that vote for Newco (and Newco itself), but will still turn out in their thousands to watch Newco at Celtic Park, something not right with that.
