Well done partick " Statement from Partick Thistle Wednesday 4th July 2012 <h4 id="news_2443"></h4>Arguably the most important meeting in the 122 year history of the Scottish Football League took place yesterday and was attended by a member of the PTFC Board. As a Club we felt that it was important that we entered this meeting with an open mind, taking full cognisance of all the facts, the opinion of our fans and free from prejudice and speculation. Unquestionably there are major financial consequences, for all Clubs in Scotland, should a newco Rangers club not take a place in next season’s SPL and there has been a proposal put in front of the SFL clubs that would allow Rangers direct entry into SFL1, contrary to the current league rules. On its own this proposal is clearly unacceptable, on a number of levels, and is something the Board of PTFC are not prepared to support. A more fundamental review of the entire Scottish football league(s) setup is clearly required. However, we feel that it is not the responsibility for making a decision, that will have huge ramifications throughout the game in this country, to fall on any individual member, or collection of clubs of the Scottish Football League. This is not a problem of the SFL’s making and as a result it is not a decision which can be taken in isolation of the SPL clubs. It is the opinion of Partick Thistle that the Scottish Football Association, the game’s governing body in Scotland, should now take ownership of this unprecedented situation. Our view, shared by the majority of supporters, is that a radical overhaul of our game is required. We are more than happy to be involved in any such process, however feel that the driving force for change has to be our National Association. Meantime we thank the Thistle supporters for their continued support and their many helpful and insightful observations in recent weeks. No matter what happens over the course of the next few weeks we would ask you to continue to support our Club through these difficult and challenging times." Edited to add:- actually, is this a no, or a yes but with restructuring?

The SFA retracted/denied it later. I think the retraction/denial was read out on Sportsound last night.

Holy John McVeigh is a tit!

If the SPL clubs don't vote today then the SFL should ignore the whole situation. Carry on, business as usual. Get ready for the ramsdens cup and the 2012/13 league kick off and f**k them!

What time's the meeting today (or what time is it supposed to be)?

Fixed

The same year Hitler invaded Poland i believe.

12 minutes into video 3 'we still have our DIGNITY'. :lol: :lol:

Whats a UB?

Elton john??

Prohphetic words indeed!

That conversation reminds me of this...

I thought Jim Traynor didn't do internet message boards?

Does any one else think Only an Excuse will be 5 hours long this Hogmanay?

Couldn't Dundee decline the position? I thought promotion to the SPL was a sort of invitational thing were if you met all the necessary criteria you could move up but if you didnt then you were denied entry? (a bit like a nightclub dress code). If you dont fancy the expensive nightclub couldn't you just stay in the cosy warm pub?

Boxing Day at home against Stranraer should be good.

Good post. No Greens left.

Thats sort of what i mean though. If all thats left is the 'husk' how hard can it been to place the husk in the bin and then pass it on to the binmen (BDO)?

If the club has been sold to greene, can someone explain what duff and phelps will be doing for 10 weeks?
