TAFKAC Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 With all due respect... Livingston FC were only created out of "fans losing their club" already when the old chairman killed a prefectly good side who could look after their money.Sympathy? You won't find me sheding a tear for Livi. When they go bust and disappear, bring back Gretna 2008 into the league I trust you hate Ayr and Caley, who both killed TWO clubs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 To show that amount of respect to people's livlihoods is appalling, if nothing else. Like Livingston do when they pay their staff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingfaetheSooth Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I trust you hate Ayr and Caley, who both killed TWO clubs? When did Ayr kill a club? At least the fans of the Inverness clubs were consulted about the merger. And at least ICT still play in Inverness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 When did Ayr kill a club? At least the fans of the Inverness clubs were consulted about the merger. And at least ICT still play in Inverness. Only because there was nowhere else for them to move to up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Funnier than a funny thing and yet so true. Poor Livi. See, we fill your life with joy, you'd SOOOOOOOo miss us if we weren't here, for comedy value if nothing else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livi 293 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) When did Ayr kill a club? At least the fans of the Inverness clubs were consulted about the merger. And at least ICT still play in Inverness. Were the fans of Dumfries (who I think rejected the invitation) and 5th King's Own Scottish Borderers & Arrol Johnston consulted before the merger which created Queen of the South in 1919? Was everyone in that town hall that mattered? Was there complete consensus bewtween all parties that a move from Maxwelltown was in the 5th KOSB best interests? Was the merger of Dundee East End and Dundee Our Boys taken to a vote of supporters club members in 1893? What about Hamilton Academicals resigning in 1897/1898 to take over Renton's fixtures? Who was involved in that process? Did the Alpha FC board consult with season ticket holders before meeting in a pub and deciding to disband the club and merge with fierce rivals Glencairn? Did Glencairn's fans have a say in the matter? Are Motherwell subsequently a diddy club that killed other ones? Did anyone - supporters, players, managers, locals - involved in any of these cases, and the many others, ever, at any point, feel angry by a move or merger or name change they didn't agree with? Probably. Or, oh, I'm sorry - I forgot - Queen of the South, along with all the other 'real' clubs in Scottish Football, dropped out of heaven in a perfectly pure and untainted form. Livingston might be 100 odd years behind the rest of Scottish Football, but at it's creation it was just as crazy. Get over it.

Guest strathbrock Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 At least the fans of the Inverness clubs were consulted about the merger. Yes and there are quite a few who are still not happy with the outcome. Consultation is fine when it goes the way you want it. Tell me, are you ever able to separate your disdain for what happened to Meadowbank with any kind of understanding of the feelings of Livi fans who have followed the club home and away for the last 12 years? Most of them had nothing whatsoever to do with the move. They just came along and started to follow a local team. The hard core who still turn up since administration after 5 years of club mismanagement, litigation, signing bans, and dodgy owners not to mention the constant sniping of folk like yourself are just as loyal to their club as any Meadowbank fans were pre 1995. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobite_Dundee Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Was the merger of Dundee East End and Dundee Our Boys taken to a vote of supporters club members in 1893? Indeed it was: all sets of fans were emailed, and no objections were received. Some claim that there may have been difficulties of a technical nature pertaining to the non-invention of some of the apparatus involved. But you'll always get bitter nay-sayers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghLivi Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I think Calum got a bit bored but I have a bit of free time on my hands. Newcastle United - "The club was founded in December 1892 by the merger of two local teams Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End who were previously rivals in the Northern League, but after West End fell into financial difficulties they decided to merge." (Oh my! Rivals, you say?) Aberdeen - "The current Aberdeen F.C. was formed following the merger of three city clubs, Aberdeen, Victoria United and Orion, in 1903." (I assume fans of every club where consulted about the move?) Just two of an array of clubs who "screwed" fans by making a new club out of their old one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobite_Dundee Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 So, any news from the "Livi Lotto" known as "The Payroll Dept"? Has Mr Bank Giro Credit been to visit, or is it brown envelopes due to "bank difficulties"? And that's me used up all my "quotation marks" for the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
