I went to Villa Park to see Aston Villa play Liverpool about 6 months after Hillsbourgh. Went into the Liverppol end, as that was the closest to where a bus dropped us off near the ground. There was a minor crush in the queue to the turnstiles, and I can remember a police officer directing us towards a particular gate. I can remember a Liverpool fan saying"I'm not going in there", and the police officer ordering him to get a move on without any sympathy towards the guy. The police really did treat football fans like shit in those days,

1. Say what you like, but we got outbid by Kilmarnock and St Johnstone for two of our players, once it became clear what was happening. I didn't hear too many predictions saying Rangers would not be in the SPL next year when we signed Jim Goodwin. 2. To stand up and talk to the fans for an hour and a half in the current circumstances gains him my respect. 3. Given where we are now, compared to where we were when he took over, makes you wonder where we'd be if our chairman was "very bright"

1. We didn't budget for 2nd bottom last season, and by outbidding Hibs for Jim Goodwin(before feb 14th), etc, we weren't planning on 2nd bottom next season. You might not believe it given our performance against Ayr last year, but we played some pretty good football! 2. Maybe if a 16 team top division had been in place, we might not have had to suffer the shit-fest Gus ball years. 3. Maybe with a 16 team top league, then a whole raft of teams could be looking at getting in there - even your team. As I said, I voted for Div 3, but I can understand why the majority voted Div 1.

Basically we're unable to downsize quickly enough - if we'd known this was going to happen, we wouldn't have signed up the high earning players on contracts for next season. Even if in the unlikely event that sevco don't get promoted for next year, we'll not risk being over extended. Sponsors have been polled by Cockwombles staff, and there were best case / worst case figures given for SPL SFL1, and SFL3. SFL3 was considerably worse than SFL1. Sky won't walk away, but will renegotiate terms.

Stuart Gilmour said tonight that the best option for St Mirren would be: 1. Sevco go to the first division next season. 2. SPL expands to 14 next year - 3 up, one down. 3. SPL expands to 16 year after - 3 up one down. Basically St Mirren would not vote for current proposals if in e.g. Falkirk's position, but SFL clubs position could change with the above proposals on the table. He was also quite scathing of Doncaster{in general) and Regan ( for going on 2 week holiday at this time). I still voted for the div 3 option, although felt a bit Swedish while doing so.
