How much percentage wise does the 42nd team get just now? It would also reduce the risk of those sides being relegated if the expansion is permanent. FWIW I don't think it will be agreed. I think it's about 50-50, but if it does happen I think it will require the top 3/4 in the Prem to give up a wee bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only needs one other team in top league to vote against. And it wont happen It's not us that you have to worry about, I can't see us going against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Firm are the most likely to vote against reconstruction, since they're the most likely to benefit from the status quo, as far as TV income is concerned. Hearts and Rangers were natural allies on the season ending vote, but league reconstruction is likely a minor financial loss to Rangers. It does depend on the specifics of what the Budge Commission comes up with, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proposal already fucked as she pushes for temporary reconstruction, meaning shes expecting 11 top flight club to vote for a season that includes 3 automatic relegation spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Random, but with your new stand, is there much of the original Archibald Leitch design left at Tyncastle or is it a complete revamp? I've not paid much attention or visited since it was redeveloped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEETHING Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 It was a homer in more than one respect, in the sense that Budge's brother in law has made an absolute mint for his part in building an ugly stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably how it would be pitched in terms of prize money for an increase of 2 sides. I think the thing that will put middle sized clubs off more is that after 26 games, if you're sitting in 7th you miss the cut and the payoff from playing the bigger sides. Then there's the question as to what you have left to play for. Only If you had 4 European places guaranteed through the league then 7th could enter a playoff but I'm not sure how popular that would be. 4 European league places is the season after next I think anyway. I'm not sure what to read into Hamilton being involved in the steering group. I did wonder if that's because they were favourable. I think it will be Killie, Motherwell and St. Johnstone with the most to lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Roar Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Also those plaques and the stonework is so shit. Cheeky wee sub contract for Timpsons? Why is Ann the only one with her name spelled out? Why the comma and why the comma and no full stop? Why didn't they save the original stonework? It doesn't matter but the inability to get even the smallest things right under this regime is so tiresome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
