Rob1885 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Actually it wasn’t the currently owners who saved Falkirk it was the supporters. Without the initial input of cash from them then there would have been no club left for the consortium to save. I have seen a letter from the liquidator that says that too. For sure most of us are still there too. By all accounts Dunfermline are one of the clubs who may struggle to get through this shitstorm so if I were you i would be looking out the buckets and raffle ticket books again. You realise JonnyDun is a dundee fan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By what account is that? Dunfermline are one of the few clubs with a sellable asset and a constant income stream set up with the centenary lifeline. Why would Dunfermline struggle more than any other full time side outwith the Premiership? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you came a bawhair away from going out of business before, we were just assuming you were going to become one of those clubs that have a habit of shafting creditors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any club which could not play their games could then be faced with the ultimate threat of expulsion from the SPFL The threats have started, Doncaster and his cronies obviously want reconstruction to happen now.

Only two clubs have been in administration more than once. There is no habit like you claim. Are you genuinely suggesting that because one board was shit and it ended up with the club in administration that every single subsequent board will do the same? Even though it's different people? Seriously? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done it, got the buckets. If anything we've shown we can come through financial hardships and still have a club. It's like a warm blanket at night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t read to much into it. Yes these are the rules. But not even the SPFL would banish teams unable to compete. There will be some sort of leeway, even if the clubs can’t vote on a structure. It’s a story from a desperate journalist writing for the Daily Ranger. It fits into their narrative to suggest that clubs are being threatened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct they might banish teams unable to play, but on the other hand, they would not be due any prize money, basically become a non playing members of the league... the governing body realise this fictional Jan 21 start, is because clubs do not want to sign players until furlough ends in October.... If clubs are mothballed for a season, it will take a lot more funding to resurrect a club than it will to keep trading and ticking over in a certain capacity.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I certainly hope that as few fans as possible ask for a partial refund on their season tickets, as the club have now offered, but can we agree not to shame those who do? A lot of people have fallen on pretty difficult financial circumstances right now, they may have lost their job or their business, and getting a little bit of money back might be needed to keep food on the table.Others, such as myself if I was a season ticket holder (I’m not because I live in England), are in a better position because you’re still working/WFH and probably have reduced spending due to no travel costs, pubs being shut, no meals out. These people can afford to absorb the cost of the season ticket and hopefully they choose to do so by supporting the club.I just don’t want to see any shaming of those who need the refund 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two issues to be resolved before that can happen. 1. The football authorities and the players union agree on procedures that will ensure that the players and those that come in contact stadium staff etc are safe and comply with the guidelines.. 2. How do you get the fans in and out of the stadium and abide by the guidelines for their safety. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think playing behind closed doors for a full season is probably out the window but I could certainly see us doing half and half . I think doing nothing till January and crowds is by far the worst option for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
