expatowner Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Apologies if this is a duplicate but this thread moves so fast Statement from East Fife East Fife FC want to make clear our views on the current “Newco” situation as it relates to SFL membership. We have taken into account the views of over 500 of our supporters who responded to our survey. We retain an open mind on the subject of league reconstruction, and will carefully consider any proposal put to us in this regard. The board of directors of East Fife FC, however, is unanimous in its view that we shall not support any integrated plan that in our view compromises sporting integrity by involving the admission of any ‘Newco’ directly into Division One. Any “Newco” must follow the normal application route into the bottom tier. Sid Collumbine Chairman, East Fife FC Well done East Fife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngsod Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 My apologies, I can't remember who said it, but a few days ago someone posted that the next few days was going to see a torrent of propaganda aimed at getting Sevco 5088 into division one at least, and the SPL if at all possible. Well it seems they were correct, we've had a torrent of scare stories from the MSM aimed at terrifying us all into believing that without Sevco 5088 then armageddon is here. I *hope* that I'm right when I say, keep the faith it's all a bluff, because if it's not then I've just lost one of the loves of my life: Motherwell FC and Scottish football in general. Vote them back into the SPL or division one and that's it, you won't see me again. That's not a threat, it's a statement of fact said with a heavy, but resolute heart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_j Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 How many SFL clubs need to say no to stop this from happening? They haven't decided yet - however many vote no they will say you need at least one more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty 218 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Airdrie are abstaining. And I believe Cowdenbeath are, bizarrely, in the No camp. Are Morton not in the 'No' camp too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghPar1975 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 SKY now reporting that they maybe a re thinking by SPL clubs and NEWCO could be back in the SPL. Please tell me they are not going do this If this were to happen then they would maybe preserve some sponsorship money but they'd effectively kill the other teams. In saying that I wonder how many fans would actually go through with their threat to demand ticket refunds or not attend? I'd be amazed if it happened, the backlash against those who had previously said 'No' would be massive. The vote may be closer but I still reckon it will get the five required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sting777 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) SKY now reporting that they maybe a re thinking by SPL clubs and NEWCO could be back in the SPL. Please tell me they are not going do this Whereas nothing about the SPHell and its chairmen would surprise me, they are gonna risk alienating their support if they change their mind about NEWCO. Doesnt matter whether its a secret ballot or not...if NEWCO get back in, ALL the clubs should be treated as being party to the Southside Abomination getting back into the SPHell Edited July 3, 2012 by Sting777 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Under his leadership, the club achieved promotion to the Premier League for the 2004–5 season, and in 2007 it was named Championship Family Club of the Year. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monrovianmonk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Actually beginning to think that we have been daft to think that Rangers will be anywhere else but the SPL next season. Happy to be proved wrong but I think we are about to see a massive about turn by the SPL. I think the chairmen that came out saying no to newco believed that the SFL would capitulate and allow them in 1st division. Now that looks like it won't happen I can see some swift backtracking. I think we should all be prepared to walk away from Scottish Football come Wednesday evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a threat, it's a statement of fact said with a heavy, but resolute heart. Methinks you wont be alone in your actions. The next few days are gonna make or break Scottish football. Lets hope all the chairmen (SPHell and SFL) realise the long term damage they will do to their clubs, if they do anything other than put this club into the bottom level of Scottish Football (at best!!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should all be prepared to walk away from Scottish Football come Wednesday evening. Whatever happens, the next 2 days are going to be possibly the most critical in the history of Scottish Football. There are 2 ways it can go - and I really don't think there is there is any panacea in-between. If the SFA/SPL/SFA don't do the right thing, for the RIGHT reasons, then there's going to be a huge backlash for both the league and National teams. Hopefully the chairmen will see sense - and take the consequences seriously! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Any chairman who thinks a secret ballot is going to save him from being accountable should really check in at Narcotics Anonymous as soon as possible.
