P45 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 If you read the statement it says they are against Newco in the 1st division, but would be interested in an SFA led league structure, not any SPL or SPL2 or SPL led division, but a completely new league incorporating all clubs. Thats how I read it anyway. The club know that the fans will stop their support if they do this and therefore I reckon they will vote No to the proposals. IMO that they're being careful in what they say in order to hedge their bets so Thistle are invited to a possible SPL2. I would prefer that he'd come out and say No, but as long as he votes No then that's all that matters. If they vote Yes then even if Rangers go down to the 3rd then they should be hung out to dry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drs Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Falkirk still hoping to turn this to their own skint advantage - The Board of Falkirk FC met today to consider our position following the meeting of the SFL clubs in Glasgow on Tuesday. The Club’s position remains as stated in our press release on Friday 22nd June which stated: “The board at Falkirk FC strongly believe the current turmoil should be a catalyst for change in Scottish Football. League reconstruction, First Division play-offs, a fairer distribution of the game’s wealth and the ending of undemocratic voting systems should be the minimum level of change.” We believe the current proposal put to the SFL clubs is limited, and has failed to address the major concerns of many SFL member clubs and their supporters. The Board believe that finding the best long term solution for Scottish Football is more important than finding a short solution to our current problems. It is clear the length and breadth of the country that supporters want to see league reconstruction, play offs, and fairer allocations of the game’s wealth. The board at Falkirk call on the football authorities to come up with a commitment that would lead to a 16 club top division. We are asking the SFL board to discuss this at their board meeting tomorrow (Thursday 5th) and to take this matter up with the SFA and SPL with a view to coming up with some immediate proposals that can be tabled at next week’s SFL general meeting. We believe that introducing Rangers to the First Division as proposed throws away the chance of introducing real change to our game and, in the short term, simply reduces existing First Division clubs chances of securing an automatic promotion place. We cannot therefore support the current proposal put forward by the SFL. Falkirk Football Club want to play an active part in bringing about the changes that fans want in Scottish football, and call on like-minded clubs to support this initiative.

LordHawHaw Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 In addition, we will be working with our other fellow SPL clubs in the days and weeks ahead to take all possible steps to maximise commercial returns, which remain crucial in these economically-challenging circumstances. We will also play an active role in mapping the future of Scottish football. The fans are the lifeblood of the game and we know how strongly our supporters, and those of other clubs, felt about this issue. Let hope that's in a good way, I'd love us to lead the way for the benefit of all in the SPL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kong Bundy Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 John Brown, the babbling idiot, says that he saw minutes from SFL meeting yesterday and they state that Newco will be allowed into 1st division.

meanmistermustard Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Love the Spence Cosgrove dissing of the Glasgow based "out of touch" media and the reports that have been written by the Record and Sun amongst others.

That is an extremely disappointing statement. Again it's hinting that we'd gladly accept Sevco in return for league reconstruction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
