It doesn't have to. The judge could rule that the this is not a concern for the courts and that they should seek to resolve the issue through the sporting bodies (SPFL, SFA, CAS). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the SPFL are duty bound to put forward the case they are to present in court to all their shareholders, the "problem" being the people they are in litigation with are also shareholders thus the documents are sent to them as well. As Heart of Seethelothian and Partick (presumably) disagree with the case being put forward they have released a statement saying the case being put forward is incorrect. So, for me, it sounds like the SPFL possibly following protocol and the gruesome twosome losing their shit. I could be wrong, but that's my guess. I was thinking along similar lines. That this mysterious letter to all SPFL clubs relates to the board of the SPFL seeking approval from the clubs not only of their proposed defence of the court action , but also perhaps the settlement /compensation proposals that the Board can put to Hearts/Thistle on behalf of its’ members. Obviously , the fact that Hearts and Thistle are two of the members complicates things considerably ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I've had those idiots call us St Liedown for decades, a few months of me rattling off Heart of Seethelothian shouldn't bother anyone. What's more, it's currently a very apt moniker!

You would think that as all 42 clubs could be liable if Hearts succeed they would have a legitimate reason to see both the Hearts petition and the SPFL rebuttal. Haven't the foggiest though. Perhaps that's why Hearts specifically named the promoted clubs to get around that. Edited June 27, 2020 by welshbairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the b******s grind you down. Every time you're tempted to say HoS is a second victory for every Hearts' fan that gave you the St. Liedown s**t. Then, as now, is a result of them being unable to do the business on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it may have been a Utd supporter on here that started it. Thankfully it died of death.

Alan Stubbs Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I couldn't be less informed about what will happen from here. If I was a Hearts fan, I don't think I'd feel particular assured by club statements that read like a teenager's social media status. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in 2012/13 when we literally didn't know which club was going to be in the SPL, a full fixture list was released with "Club 12" in it and cup draws were made. In this case, the SPFL will be proceeding under the assumption that we have a 12 team league under the same format with the current Premiership clubs. In the very unlikely event that the court requires them to change that they can alter or scrap the current fixture list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 30 minutes ago, DAVIDB69 said: If this goes beyond Wednesday will there be no fixtures announced next Friday then No reason why the fixture list should be affected. Hearts and Thistle aren't seeking an interdict, it's possible that even if they win, they'll only be due compensation, and the worst case scenario is just that some team names are swapped around in the list if the relegations are halted. Fixture lists get edited regularly throughout the season anyways, as matches are postponed or moved for TV purposes so changing a few fixtures as a result of a court judgement isn't very far out of the normal way of doing things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to popular belief Hearts did not serve papers on them involving them in court case,they served papers on SPFL -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
