Have never heard any locals refer to it as the Balmoral - still the North British. ETA ditto for no one calling the Caledonian the Waldorf Astoria. Rebranding often doesn’t work cf Sevco.

Bazil85 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Has anyone heard any rumours, whispers or more concrete information on clubs voting intentions ahead of the latest deadline tomorrow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Rumour is that clubs will happily take a brown envelope full of cash, stuff the supporters, no long term strategy, obey the OF threats/promises, forget the integrity of the game, only a rumour of course This crap seems to have gone on for years, go away to some Super League please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news, it would be even better if the SPFL set a 10 year span on the 'Old Firm' trying to waste the lower leagues prior to the introduction of their next attempt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thankfully common sense prevails, now all they have to do is send the Colts out on loan to 2 or 3 clubs = different outcome but they're getting game time. Now bury the idea for good, and dig it up 100 years time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the other clubs all know that, if such a motion was presented, it would be vetoed by two anonymous Premiership clubs. ...and if one of them was busy, Aberdeen would fill in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) So it didn't even get off the ground at the indicative vote stage? Good. Time to pop this in the bin labelled 'Toxic Waste' and move on for the benefit of the whole of Scottish Football, instead of pandering to them pair of self righteous leeches.

StewartyMac Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) The irony of Rangers fans wanting this to go to another vote until they get the result they want is not lost on me. Edited July 14, 2021 by StewartyMac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
