The clubs who lost the vote should then throw their toys out of the pram and refuse to take any money resulting from these teams coming in and let the others benefit? Aye, that makes total sense. Perfect summary, glad you agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I think if Tory voters in Scotland had any backbone, they should refuse to use the NHS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutankhamen Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 On 11 May 2021 at 18:26, Gordon EF said: Last night, Lowland League clubs gave an indicative vote in favour of admitting old firm colt sides into the Lowland League for season 2021/22. 11 clubs voted for and 5 voted against. Assuming no clubs change their minds, this will pass at the Lowland League AGM next week. There are plenty of threads on here discussing the merits or otherwise of colt sides in the Scottish football pyramid and this isn't a thread for this. I'm trying to encourage all Scottish football fans from every club and every level of the pyramid who is against colt sides to commit to supporting those Lowland League clubs who vote against the colt proposal next week by attending at least one of their home games next season or buying a ticket via the donate a ticket website. The idea is to choose one home fixture for each club who votes against the colts and ideally, give them a sell out crowd (assuming we're allowed back into games by next season) and for those who can't make the game for whatever reason but still want to show their support, to donate online. If this is a goer, I'll select fixtures where the Lowland League 'good guys' play against each other, once the fixtures are announced, and one home game will be chosen for each club. It'd be great to get out and show our moral and financial support for those clubs willing to stand up for the integrity of Scottish football and aren't willing to sell out their league for £3k. At around £8 per ticket, just 375 extra fans through the gate would be more than the OF are willing to pay each LL club to use their league as practice. I've started a petition here: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/notocoltsides It'd be great if everyone willing to do this could sign it. It's a way to gauge numbers and communicate with folk who're interested. Hopefully, if it takes off, a few Lowland League clubs who indicated they'll vote for this might reconsider (I doubt it but you never know). The good guys are: Bonnyrigg Rose, Bo'ness United, Civil Service Strollers, Dalbeattie Star, and Edinburgh University. Massive respect to the good guy 5 Not taking any money. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
