craigkillie Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 1 minute ago, haufdaft said: My point was that the SPFL justification for rejecting null and void was the resultant financial liability Turns out the liability still exists. And they've still not settled with BT sports yet There was still a liability - the argument was that there could be a liability for the entire season if it was null and void, rather than the handful of matches under this scenario. I'm not convinced how true that was, but this doesn't contradict that argument in any way. The SPFL statement through the week said that all liabilities from 2019/20 had now been settled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Whilst we might stand to benefit from "promotion" on that Old firm reconstruction proposal, get it fired directly into the goddamn sun. Why won't this fucking colts nonsense die? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 That's what the proposal is.U 21 to start with. That would change within a couple of years to be just a B Team, absolutely certain of that. At which point they would progress to the top of the championship and hang around there like a bad smell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course the SPFL have already released a statement saying it's a lie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 The financial element of this is a worry, will some clubs cave and take the £££s given the current climate. Seems the old firm are trying to benefit from this which is pretty underhand.£125,000 each to join which goes straight to the other third tier clubs. That’s about £15,000 per club. Plus the promise to buy 200 x £15 tickets for every away game. That’s another £6000 based on each arse cheek visiting you once.Hope clubs stand up to this and it gets shot down. Even if it didn’t directly impact on Clyde there is still no way we should give this the time of day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Challenge Cup showed that crowds drop so significantly that 200 tickets wont see you making any money. Add in the fans you force away from the other home games that season, and any profit through the Colt venture, even in season one, would be negligible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyweehutch Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 They can pay for 200 tickets if they want but home fans wont turn up. I haven't been to a single Challenge cup match since they were introduced even if we arent drawn against a colt team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghBlue Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 The story you've included in the tweet suggests there weren't any great financial implications, since Sky were instead compensated with extra televised games.Sky must be loving this crisis.

Stag Nation Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Have I understood this correctly? You're being promised large sums of money from a club that has made substantial losses every year since its foundation in 2012 and is, by all reports, teetering on the brink of insolvency. What could possibly go wrong? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Rangers fans have to find new teams to support, the OF is dissolved and the 4 OF game TV contract shite is out the window, and we can all join the ex-Rangers fans in boycotting the Colts games.
