MattBairn Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Some posters on another thread were discussing the stadium criteria for possible promotion to the top flight. During the discussion it was mentioned that whilst there wasn't a criteria as such, there is a bronze minimum standard which includes finances. How would that affect Sevco? Is there this criteria? What is it. Would then meet this criteria? Would the rules be bent for them again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be tricky as a few spfl clubs have used soft loans I believe to alleviate financial problems and the spfl\sfa aren't great at tricky problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBairn Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) You think we'd get through a minimum of four play off games? Could be tricky as a few spfl clubs have used soft loans I believe to alleviate financial problems and the spfl\sfa aren't great at tricky problems. Are you saying that you think they could get round the issue using soft loans? From my understanding they have built up quite a lot of debt and are struggling to keep their heads above water. Where would these soft loans come from?My understanding of what's happening at Ibrox is somewhat limited as it's difficult to keep up unless you are constantly reading up on it, which I'm not. So I could be way off the mark. It's a genuine question and not a dig. Edited February 24, 2015 by MattBairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that llambias recently described the loans from uncle mike as soft loans rather than debt (yeah I know) and I don't think at present there is any other debts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I met Straw a couple of times, and had to sit through an address at Union Conference, at the height of the Expenses Scandal, where he was banging on about integrity and accountability while I, as an observer rather than a delegate on this occasion, was having a look through http://www.theyworkforyou.com/, and seeing exactly how much the robbing bastárd had taken his expenses account for. In answer to his address, our Gen Sec gave him the customary memento and a couple of extras - a History of the TU Movement for reference, and, after forty years membership, his Labour Party card. Biggest ovation I've ever seen. The man is scum. ETA: , I know. I'm not heavily into politics but during the recent Labour years, he struck me as being a bit of a Fascist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenockRover Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Wait and see what happens first, I'm still a bit worried that they'll pull a fast one. Aye, I cannot just see Ashley just rolling over, this is good news but no point in counting chickens yet. 10 Sleeps till we get our club back !!!

Sting777 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I stillthink the football authorities should be involved, even if the police are also. This is a blight on our game and the ostrich approach is simply unacceptable imo. Perhaps these morons might start to get the message if their team faces a loss of points. Agreed.....10 point penalty any time any of the songs are heard from their supporters would soon put a stop to it, though they would probably be relegated after 5 games!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Point penalties for crowd misconduct would just encourage scumbags to go into their rivals' support and get them in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aofjays Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Point penalties for crowd misconduct would just encourage scumbags to go into their rivals' support and get them in trouble. Thousands of them? Cause if it's just a few idiots I doubt they could be heard over the fine upstanding people surrounding them booing as loudly as they can to make it clear this is unacceptable. They would only need to worry if their entire support was full of bigoted zoomers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 How is Cockwomble still in a job? When are the SFA and SPFL going to grow a pair and hammer the bigots on both sides who blight our game? Last Friday the sounds coming from the away fans was a disgrace broadcast internationally, the Semi final was a disgrace broadcast world wide. A few Chelsea thugs on a train in a racist incident is rightly condemned by the English authorities yet there was hundreds of bigots belting out hate songs and the Scottish football authority don't see a problem WTF!!! This is not acceptable behavior in modern day society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattBairn Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 What do these rules actually say? Genuine question I don't know, that was one of my questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 What got me was the why Rangers are getting off with it. The SPFL have basically said the pair of them can sing loud and proud as long as everything was done before the game to stop them singing loud and proud. Are the Police and our Government actually happy to allow this kind of rugsweeping to continue? How can they actually tackle bigotry and sectarianism in this country when they throw a deafy at the worst offenders? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media, and authorities don't five a flying f**k about it. It's an embarrassing insight into Scotlands shameful issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
