Therefore the SFA can't really do us for anything. The way the media has handled this situation in many respects, has been appalling as well, a lot of mis-leading information, a lot of spewed bile, a lot of nonsense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been scare tactics from Day 1. Typical SPFL bully boy tactics. To be fair, I think most of the media have been on our side. Facts are, if they expel both clubs from the league it could go through the courts and if necessary the appeals procedures for years and that would mean no clubs would be left standing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely to f**k it's better off just playing the season next year, going on a winning run, getting morale back in the squad and pushing back up to the championship and for hearts the premiership. If the fans rally round both clubs then the drop in money will be marginal through league position payments only... Plus you have a league winners trophy day and have a great time at that on the way... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the feeling is that we have been shat on once too often by this lot. It’s in the courts hands now and they will decide unless an acceptable offer is made to both clubs by the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thoroughly expect a compensation agreement to be accepted maybe as much as half of what we wanted and we get on with the season with 2 fingers coming from all quarters to us but we will ultimately and hopefully we go on and win the league and it's done on the park 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be playing in the third tier next year but are still definitely box office. I notice the Dundee fans seem conspicuous by their absence today, though. Strange that we’re suddenly irrelevant now that their own dire financial position has become clear... Dire financial position' - We are waiting on the outcome on the insurance judgement at which point we could be in one of the healthiest financial positions in Scotland. If it goes against us, then like all other clubs, we'll need to make drastic cut backs and be in the horrible position that most clubs are in right now. It's not rocket science. Partick Thistle fans. Fucking hell. You've really went off the edge here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did. 02/03 - Falkirk denied promotion for refusing to ground share with SPL team. Wanting to use a SFL stadium (Airdrie), and the SPL/SFL being separate entities, made it impossible to guarantee there wouldnt be clashes between Falkirk and Airdrie playing home matches. Falkirk denied promotion. 03/04 - ICT agree to ground share with SPL side. No chance of home match conflicts, ICT promoted. Interesting to read about that season, while Partick fans bring it up to moan about self interest. In 2004 Partick, who finished bottom of the league over the course of a season, took legal action to try and deny ICT a promotion they earned. An act of self interest, and self preservation, that's worse than what Hearts are currently up to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is it not better to focus on trying to go up via the league system (top goes up bottom goes down). Than spending god knows how much on legal fees and the time of it too. Yes it's shite going down but get a winning run on the go, title party etc is amazing and would galvanise the players at the least for the year. Just my thoughts and it's definitely not how you put it up cause that's child childish on the verge of spitting the dummy out the pram 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
