Dear Mr Lawrie
I am writing to you about the current situation with the club currently being liquidated Rangers FC.
I have been a Dumbarton fan for all of my life
I have pictures of my great grandad rebuilding the wall at Boghead in the 1950,s
I have pictures of my Grannies washing line with all the strips hanging out after she had washed them, something she did for a while
In fact I was attending Boghead before I was born as both my mum and Auntie served in the snack bar on the end of the Turnberry stand.
I attended with my brother from aged 8 on, I was there when Ian Wallace scored against Kilmarnock in ,76 went to Hampden for the cup semi final
Attended every game through the ,84 promotion run to the top league
There for the last game at Boghead , in fact got a piece of the pitch in the garden and some of the bricks from that wall my granda repaired
There for the first game at the Rock,jumping up and down when we put 6 past Elgin to cap an amazing catch up of Cowdenbeath.
My birthday present on my 40th was 300 shares in the club
My daughter was taken along on her first birthday to experience what has brought me so much joy and satisfaction
I am still in shock at us going up this year.
However the situation with Sevco 5088 or TCFKAR is so iniquitous that it may well lead to me giving up on Dumbarton and Scottish football completely.
The rules are clear Sevco must apply to the bottom rung of the league structure as any other prospective new club would
Doesn't matter how many fans they have
Doesn't matter what ground they have
this is a club that has cheated every person in Scotland
Cheated the normal hard working tax payers
Cheated every league competition since 1998 at least
Is home to significant amount of rabid sectarian hooligans
Anything other than an insistence on applying to league 3 is craven cowardice or cheating itself by the footballing authorities
I will not be party to this nor will any of my family
I hope you are as disgusted as I am at the plan to parachute Sevco into the 1st division.
I will be sending a copy Of this letter to the SFA which will also include details of my support of the national team
I would be grateful for your thoughts on the matter
Yours Sincerely
Neil
