And meanwhile, back in the real world, Rangers once again score a home crowd greater than the sum attendance of the SPL clubs.
Doncaster said: "I love it when a plan comes together."
Well done you

5 Live just reported the second goal by saying "rangers' first visit to an SPL ground isn't going at all well."
Pitchforks and Torches at the ready, berrz. They live in Manchester, now, do 5 Live, so you'll know the way....
rangers' defence about as convincing as Charlie Boy's boycott!
How very dare you, they live in Salford dontcha know.. separate city but same county

MK Dons (like Livingston) are a new club using the legal registration of a previously existing club. Wimbledon are the original club, now under a new registration.
I think I'm done with this bit of the thread now, I'll keep checking back to see whether there's any actual news.
Wimbledon FC played in Milton Keynes until the end of the 2003/2004 season and were then rebranded as MK Dons. It wasn't until 2007 that MK Dons renounced any claim to Wimbledon FC's honours and these were donated to Merton Borough.
AFC Wimbledon are not the original club under a new registration, they are a fan formed team who by their own admission on their website only claim the honours of Wimbledon FC in spirit.
"The supporters of AFC Wimbledon believe that our clubis a continuation of the spirit which formed Wimbledon Old Centrals in 1889 andkept Wimbledon Football Club alive until May 2002. We consider that a footballclub is not simply the legal entity which controls it, but that it is thecommunity formed by the fans and players working towards a common goal. Wetherefore reproduce the honours won by what we believe was, and will always be,'our' club, in our community"

Wimbledon won the FA Cup, yes. They were then called Wimbledon FC and are now called AFC Wimbledon. Same club, in every meaningful respect - history, tradition, continuity of support, whatever else. Only the legal entity has changed.
I think you'll find that is bollocks. Wimbledon FC became MK Dons after the owner decided to relocate them to Milton Keynes. AFC Wimbledon was set up by the fans in protest to this move and is a totally separate entity to Wimbledon FC. Bit like FC United of Manchester after the Glaziers took over Manchester United.

Just read Traynor's article on the DR and spotted this bit at the end...
"The SFL will meet next week to decide the fate of the game.
Entertaining though it is to listen to your rants Turnbull, just think. That's it, just think, and if enough of us do we just might not blow our brains out."
Even if the SFL do vote for Div 3, Traynor doesn't have enough brains to blow out, shame really.

I wonder if the OldCo voted against the NewCo? Now that would be funny

I'm not wasting an afternoon on A poxy protest like some kind of moron.
I've written to my club's chairman and told him my thoughts, as have hundreds of other Saints fans. I'm big enough and ugly enough to decide whether I want to watch a rigged competition or not.
Most people have also done that and funnily enough still not seen any of that in the press. It's low key and the chairmen can write it off as the rumblings of the few, but they and the press can't ignore a visible protest as well. That's why I said the protest would give them "extra thought" and not be the only means.
Edit - and lithgierose has a good point, did you get a reply from your chairman?

Got to admit I am finally getting bored of this. We all know the SFA and SPL will pull out all the stops to ensure Rangers survive with the least amount of hardship, we just don't know the how yet.
The only way to give them some extra thought would be to mobilise the supporters clubs of all the other teams as a NO protest on the 30th June, someone within the 1883 pages had suggested. So someone from a supporters club in Scotland needs to take the initiative and get the ball rolling.
