AL-FFC Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The thing wrong with the statement you released is you arent champions, there is still 8 games to go you might be top but you still are NOT champions as the season has not been completed and even if it is declared the season is over you never completed the season. its like pulling out the 100m at the 75m point because your in front and declaring yourself the winner. That statement just screams out desperation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in favour of 2 up / 0 down as well but what's the point in naming champions. It gives no practical or monetary advantage. You'll never get a championship winning game or get to watch the team lift the trophy and nobody will consider it a real championship. I'd be practical, accept the promotion if it's on the table and don't make being named champions as a red line. Have you ever played football? Anyone that's played will feel for those players who'd slogged over 3/4 of a season to win the league and will get no memorable reward. Two case in point, At the age of 17 Bowie was on course for a medal, some players will play a lifetime and not get that chance but he's being potentially being denied it. On the other hand Davo may be looking for a medal to bow out with and he too would be denied. If the league is called and a team is at the top and being promoted why shouldn't they be declared champs? Sounds like sour grapes to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. That's fair enough. I suspect it's a bluff from Raith. They'd take promotion, 1st place prize money and no title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be genuinely surprised if this was a line in the sand for Raith. Would they vote no to 2 up / 0 down with no champions declared? I seriously doubt it. All the stuff you're talking about is basically 'it's generally nice to win a championship'. The season could have been played out normally and Raith might have finished 2nd, so all these guys would still miss out on medals. Nobody would see that as unfair. It would be totally different if the championship was already mathematically secured. it would be a travesty not to award it in that case. But you all know that is far from being the case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted above that might be for the league standing (i think someone mentioned that money had been paid out over the course of the season) thats the percentage of the prize pot the League 1 clubs are entitled to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be in the Championship at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I agree with the sentiment of promote teams but scrap the championship. Player's will be disappointed but it is (hopefully) a one off where there really is a lot more going on in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
