ayrmad Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Told my son today Newco would be in the SPL this season. Shameful, 2 days of Scottish football for me then I'm off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 If the stuff coming out of St Mirren tonight is accurate, the idea was that they'd get out of their contracts if the OF moved to England. Because of course that would somehow magically funnel millions in new settlement fees back up the road. It still doesn't make any fucking sense, of course. Most sponsors of Scottish football do so to get Scottish eyeballs. For enough, if Rangers are playing in the EPL then it's mostly going to be English people watching them. But that's not what's happened here, and Celtic are staying put. So it would be completely daft for sponsors to pull out. And yet Gilmour has just told an apparently appreciative audience that this is precisely what they're going to do, and thus the time has come to put aside all these silly rebel ideas and lube up while they still can. Subsequent discussion on B&W Army would indicate that the St Mirren shareholders present were appreciative of our chairman speaking openly and answering their questions. This is different from the original thought that the people in the room agreed with what he was saying. I'm going to tomorrow's meetings - should be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyarabnuts Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 If what gilmour is saying is right, and the chairs will about face and vote them in , then junior clubs are gonna have record attendance next season, anyone fancy taking a game at Farmuir park to see the famous Dundee North End??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 http://www.blackandw...eting-re-newco/ Intereting tweets coming from the meeting tonight. Seems very likely that despite the noises made by chairmen, there is a distinct chance SevCo could have their newco in the SPL next season as"99% of corporate sponsors" have pull-out clauses. 3rd Div apparently very unlikely and will definitely push St Mirren into liquidation. 1st Division the most likely scenario, according to SG... Hmm! Not sounding good at all - think tomorrow eve could be very interesting. Hope our, and other clubs', chairmen don't make a hasty and Ill-thought-through decision based on the lure of corporate money, but flying in the face of overwhelming fan opinion I hope to f**k that isnt true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count yourself lucky. Most clubs in the Central and Ayrshire regions are mini-Rangers love-ins anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd love to see all these contracts, if true, the useless fcukers need their baws booted from here to kingdom come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbhaf Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 If this stuff about the sponsors' contracts is right, and the sponsors are accepting Sevco as being "Rangers" couldn't we call any club Rangers to meet the conditions? Congratulations on your promotion, Dundee Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reluctant Hero Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 "99% of corporate sponsors" have pull-out clauses Don't know if it has been mentioned already, but 99% of supporters have pull-out clauses too. And if we pull out because Newco are parachuted in somewhere, then "corporate sponsors" won't be far behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Remember, way back when? Weatherseal's owner, what's his name? Who are these other corporate partners? Fair play to Gilmour, sounds like he's at least being honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordHawHaw Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Let me get this right...99% of sponsors have a get out clause if there is no Rangers in the SPL..and these sponsors have said they will pull out if Rangers are not in the SPL, sounds like shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macshimmy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ah FFS. If this all happens according to the script, I propose we resign from our respective clubs en masse, and support Queen's Park, filling Hampden whenever possible, and utilising our geographical spread-ooty-ness to bring unprecedented away support to the 3rd division. "Ludere Causa Ludendi" That is All. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Clydesdale Bank, you will be the first. There in store customer service in the Ayr branch is shite anyway, if I wasn't such a lazy b*****d they'd have been binned long ago. Sky, Record and Sun already on my hit list, gies the sponsors and I'llbe like Ebeneezer. Edited July 2, 2012 by ayrmad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
