BFTD Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I'd imagine the answer for almost everyone would be that we'd start again at a lower level. Maybe @BigMartyn86 would get to manage the big team. Bollocks to the idea of watching the Binos. Anyway, if we're dead, they'll be away too. There must be a few Premiership chairmen quietly hoping for a chain reaction of diddy deaths. Ann Budge, for one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Maybole Juniors for me I think. It goes without saying but I really hope this doesn’t end up happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your club, for whatever reason, didn’t make it out the other side of the pandemic, what would you do? Phoenix clubs will definitely emerge, the Juniors that survive will be circling like vultures looking for any punters they can get, but would you be interested? Would you go as far as supporting your rival or one of the bigot brothers just to stay involved in football? Personally, I’d retain an interest in the sport but couldn’t foresee myself becoming invested in another club. I think I’d enjoy Morton 2.0 bobbing about the proper seaside leagues for a wee while, but if we started stagnating, I’d get sick of it very quickly. Would anyone chuck it completely? EK Thistle for me. My home town team and supported them until the big Thistle stole my heart. I was at Ibrox when we won the cup against Bo'ness - think there was about 15000 there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post red23 Posted April 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) "What if your club dies?" Easy! you then demand to be put back in to the same division as you were before with the added bonus of wiping all of your debt. If not you then hold all other clubs accountable by making aggressive and ignorant threats while promising "never to forget what they did to us".

Too many arguments about where they play. Unless we set one up for each feeder league into the Highland/Lowland League. PnB Buckfast v PnB Salt and Sauce will be the biggest derby of the year when they meet in the cups 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Supporting another Scottish club is such a bizarre idea that I'd never consider it for a second. I'd probably attend a few games as a neutral but would mostly just watch PL, La Liga etc. Scottish football is absolutely trash if you're not emotionally invested in your team. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It's inconceivable that I could adopt another club now. I'm from Dumfries and live here, so all my football would basically become filtered by TV. If I lived elsewhere, I could probably watch another side and like them without becoming all that emotionally invested. I wouldn't have that option though, so beyond the odd soft spot you have for this club or that, there would be nothing. Even the TV would offer little, as I actively despise most big clubs in the big leagues. I think I'd basically stop caring about club football altogether. It would probably cope better with the rift in our relationship than me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It would be a sad day if Ayr Utd didn’t make it through this. I have so many memories of Somerset and supporting Ayr that are linked to my Dad (I lost him in Feb). It would feel that another part of my heart had died too. I’d go and watch the juniors to get my football fix but I wouldn’t be emotionally invested in them 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I've honestly no idea how I'd feel if United went. I'd have to wait until the dust settled and see how I felt. Given where I live now, the obvious thing would be to follow the Binos but... meh, it wouldn't be the same. I'd probably find a different Saturday hobby. If the majority of folk feel like me, all we'd need is for a couple of big-to-medium sized clubs (Hearts, United, The Dees) going to the wall for Scottish football to go to the wall too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
