No full-time team could realistically survive in the 3rd division, especially not 1 with the financial record of your club, administration beckons for a 3rd time me thinks

Then you shouldn't have played any games until you were told for definite that you would remain in this division, which didn't happen until after about 6 games or so, also, how was your reason any better? The fact that you had been told by the SFL to play the game no matter if you appealed or not because it was too late to call games off should've been enough reason to play the game, no? Whereas we had already spent a large sum of money for the game to go ahead the first time, why should we have had to do it again with no compensation? Add to that the fact that the crowd was signifficantly lower because it was played on a Wednesday night rather than a Saturday, we also had a lot of fans coming up from England for the first game of the season on August 8, who were left out of pocket as they'd already paid for trains and hotels and it was too late to cancel the bookings and get refunds by the time the game was called off. So was it in the best interests of everyone involved for the game not to be played against us on August 8, aye?

If that's true that's absolutely shocking, especially considering the fact that when we said we were going to scratch the replay we immediately got told we would be docked 15 points, yet Livi get away with a fine for doing exactly that, disgraceful but then again nothing surprises me anymore with the SFL.

Well ok, lets accept the fact that Livi were demoted to the 3rd division, why was it done 3 days before the season was due to start? Livi's fault was it, aye? I do agree that Livi are scum and have caused the majority of the problems but the SFL have played a major part in it. And i'm not claiming league fixtures are fixed, it was just a coincedence that we played Cowden in the playoffs after playing them on the last day of the season but making the first game of the season against a team that you've played in all of your last 3 league games is just daft, simple as that.
