MEADOWXI Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The next 12hrs will make such a difference to my involvement with Scottish football. I support my home town junior team but i have been to almost every senior ground over the years. If the SFA do not provide the leadership to sort this I will lose following Meadow in the senior Scottish Cup for the 3rd time in 4years and my SSC membership will not be used to get tickets for Scotland games, which i have been going to since 1979. I was planning to go to Aberdeen v Ross Co as suppport for the nearest SPL club and their stance. Wrong vote and that is gone. Every season I go to SFL/League cup/Scottish cup games when i cannot get to Meadow games. That is all gone. The application by Sevco Scotland should be publicly accepted or rejected by the SFA. The SPL must stick to their statements and say No to Newco. And the SFL should have a single vote to accept Sevco to SFL3 or reject them. Senior football could end in my eyes today if these people get it wrong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just occurred to me that the SFL should refuse to do anything until the SPL/SFA have actually dealt with the Oldco. It's their bloody problem, after all. I think the SFA should be first - after all if they reject the transfer then any votes by the SPL or SFL are mute. The SPL would obviously be second. Dear Whatever You're Now Called Look at these figures and weep, ya glory-hunting twats. This is why you will never ever reach the level of your beloved brethren in the East End who support their club through thick and thin and quite rightly claim the title of "Best Fans Ever In The Whole World....Ever" and which we all unreservedly concur with. Aye, and we all believe you're really a Hearts supporter - fucking clown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akredz Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So, some of the league sponsors said they would withdraw their sponsorship, some said they would renegotiate and some said they would continue, as is. It really comes down to how much spin and in which direction that spin goes. It is obvious to all that Scottish football is going to be in for a hard time for the forseeable future. I might be naive but I believe that if the clubs/leagues/overseeing bodies make the right decision (and that decision is the one that follows the existing rules) which results in a brand new football club starting life in SFL 3, then the fans will rally round their respective clubs. If they choose to ignore the feelings of the overwhelming majority of their paying customers, and somehow believe that rewarding dishonesty will be acceptable, I fear that those Chairmen are in for a rude awakening. It may be a bitter pill to swallow, the loss of sponsorship and income, and we may never have the same financial clout again but we may also be able to stand with our heads held high and say that we weren't bullied, blackmailed or bribed into accepting a morally bankrupt solution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty 218 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Turnbull Hutton is the peoples hero. It would be fantastic if he went through with a move to breakaway and form a "League of Honour" as he implies here - or maybe I'm reading too much into it! “Let’s start again and I’m sure the SFL would welcome applications from some of the teams who are currently in the SPL to join an organisation that is based on sporting integrity. I feel the same as I did when I arrived here today. It’s been a long, tiring, boring day." It seems to me like yesterday was all about assessing the price of integrity - and that shouldn't even come into it. It should be only a matter of principal. Is it right that a team that has never played a game gets entered into the 2nd tier of Scottish Football? No. End of story. For me it's the same argument for Scottish Independance. There are people who say Scotland will be better off, and some people say we'll be worse off. I dont have enough information to judge, and it actually doesn't matter. Scotland, as a nation, should be self-determinant - it's the principal that matters. No-one should find themeselves in a situation where there principles can be bought, or traded. I'm just fed up with the whole thing now - and feel it's all just descended beyond farcical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doink Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Fed up with the whole thing now. This should have been resolved long ago and the new club should not be anywhere in the league set up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superimp69 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 All the talk of putting sevco into SFL1 (or heaven forbid SPL) for financial reasons seems to assume everything will go back to the way it was for the last few years with Rangers/Celtic competing against each other and winning almost everything. This isn't going to happen. Sevco at best will be a club with debts to control, less than full stadium, lower away gates and a team propped up by journeymen pros - that's if they make it through a season without running out of cash. What will happen to the tv deal then? Will that be as attractive to Sky as everyone is assuming? The SPL clubs are looking at worst case scenarios without rangers - doesn't look like they're comparing it fairly to life with sevco! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnstoun Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The photos are not very good to be fair. Maybe this is more telling: the official SPL attendances from last season: just for information: Attendance (Average) Team Average Attendance and v Rangers St Johnstone 4170 6.459, 6.577 & 6.459 Last time out against Dundee in Div 1: 7.238 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty_j Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 As I posted yesterday SPL are desperate to know SFL's hand. For that reason vote will be postponed today IMO. SFL should then say thay are postponing vote on 12th July. As other posters have pointed out, SFL should not be voting until SPL have made their decision. Call their bluff - they cannae keep postponing votes. Away to email SFL and BRFC now to tell them vote should note go ahead on Thursday unless SPL have FINALLY made their decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great what you're doing. Why are you emailing Blackburn Rovers, though? Edited July 4, 2012 by Harp Hotel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
