Owsley Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Can you provide evidence of Forfar voting YES, because I was assured by the secretary of the club in a e-mail that they voted NO, so if they did vote YES, I'll be looking for a refund on my season ticket and turning to rugby instead? No, but five did vote Yes and I thought we'd narrowed it down to those clubs. I have missed many pages on here recently so I could have missed the outing of the five. Were Montrose the final one? I hope you are right as I've always liked Forfar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm assuming the big money signings are not to win the 3rd or 2nd, rather they're to make sure they stay in the proper cups long enough to be drawn against Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itwiznaeme Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) These players are not going to get the stupid amounts being reported at any other club, so they are taking their chances with Sevco, thinking they might get a couple of years out of it. Nothing could possibly go wrong..... ...apart from long term injuries that the cheating b*****ds will sustain when they accidentally fall very hard on rock hard pitches in the middle of winter or trip over their own feet on the Astro Turf pitches. Will the cheating b*****ds still be payed when out injured for long periods of time? Edited July 31, 2012 by Itwiznaeme 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that CG will have covered every eventuality....unlikely they'll still be playing in winter as ICBINR will have gone kaput by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more convinced by Waffen's thought: I think I know what they are up to - hoping that by creating such a wildly imbalanced side running up cricket scores every week, the SFA and SFL will be "forced" to reform the leagues and punt them back into the top division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, a new manager should have been their top priority before new players! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton = public "Yes" QotS = public "Yes" Falkirk = "Yes", won't directly say Forfar/Montrose = no clear statements Everyone else said before/after vote that they'd vote/voted "No", but conceivably someone might've fibbed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think their 'big name' signings are to encourage take up of STs, to plan ahead of the impending transfer embargo, and to stoke up the Sevco support into backing Green. In this instance, I don't buy into some conspiracy theory about them knowing hasty reconstruction is happening just for their benefit. I think they will do a Portsmouth and implode twice mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albion Rovers said they were voting "Yes" because they wanted to keep the derby with Airdrie for money, then when the shitstorm blew up after the vote, they claimed along with Brechin City they'd voted "no" because it was what the fans wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is definitely a sales pitch, a big gamble on the part of Green's consortium who need supporters regularly turning up at Ibrox to watch the cheating b*****ds. I think they will do a Portsmouth and implode twice mind you. I do too, the cheating b*****ds (club and supporters) have mostly negative experiences ahead of them for a very long time to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Falkirk are even worse than us if they haven't had the guts to own up. Very suspicious from the Angus duo too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I have a niggly feeling that Airdrie United may be involved somehow.... They say they voted no, but Ballantyne was heavily involved in drafting the proposal put to The SFL Chairmen by The Board. They were originally going to abstain, if they did vote no it was only once it was obvious the proposal wasn't being accepted and they followed the crowd. I have to say I'm not convinced one way or the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very suspicious from the Angus duo too. This is what I got as a response. Can't believe David would lie. Forfar Athletic were one of the 25 clubs who voted against the package offered to accommodate Rangers in SFL1. Not without a lot of thought and soul searching I can assure you and we are worried about the financial implications moving forward. Season tickets are available by postal application. Thanks.

Booker_d Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 In the days before the vote I heard it was a definite that dumbarton were going to vote yes. Did they release any statements about what they did? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 There is also a 2 year notice period to quit the SFL. If Green is signing these guys on the promise that they'll be back in the SPL next year then he's a brave man. and what if we are "promoted" more than 1 division, as im sure dundee didnt resign from the SFL 2 years ago in the hope they made it to the SPL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - said "No". http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=4040 Edited July 31, 2012 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Saint Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I was discussing Sevco with a colleague today and we were discussing, how would it be possible for Rangers to be MORE dead? Even if no SFA membership had been granted, we'd have heard all sorts of shite about the club being dormant. So I put it to PnB, how could Rangers be MORE dead? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsLad Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Did we ever find out who that was? I reckoned Clyde. Didn't Forfar vote Yes along with Accies, QoS, Falkirk and one other? Wait a minute - I have heard this before, but I was sure, positive we did the right thing and said no to the cheating gits being in the first division! Have I totally missed what happened? Did Forfar vote yes to letting them in the first division??!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
