Hedgecutter Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Anyone else feeling genuinely nervous about the vote? Football's been a huge, huge part of my life for over 25 years now and, with a kid on the way, something I was hoping to take him / her along to. Now it all comes down to today and I'm genuinely feeling worried about the whole thing. I've been like that ever since I heard the strong rumours that Brechin were in the 'yes' camp tbh. Hopefully there isn't a kid currently on the way either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) But they can't add amendments without giving 14 days notice Where in the SFL rulebook does it say that?

DAFC Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 People are talking about a large hole in the footballing economy if Rangers are kept out of the SPL. Surely if they go to the 3rd then every football club will benefit from their support filling the stadiums rather than the feeble crumbs of any TV deal? If Rangers stay in the first: Sky TV deal 100% safe SFL1 clubs benefit then SPL clubs the year after If Rangers go to the third Every club in Scotland will benefit unless promoted/relegated ahead of them. Sky TV deal will probably continue and may even show some games outside of the SPL and generate more interest in the lower leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 And what would you have had the SPL chairman do? Vote them back in? They broke the rules. As someone else said had it been Motherwell or ICT it would all be done and dusted already! I'm sick of this! Reason says that they should be in the 3rd, bribery and intimidation (allegedly) means that 3 possibilities are still likely! No they should have voted them out and then left it at that. They should not have then bullied and blackmailed the sfl. The whole problem goes back to the setting up of the spl. If we only had one league governing body this issue would have been dealt with long before now. And the reason we have two governing bodies is the greed of our so called bigger clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amjam Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Not humour them by having it go to a vote in the first place, and tell them to apply to Division 3 like any other club would have had to do. It wasn't within their power to make them apply to D3. All they could do was vote them out. And they did. I said before that it was unfair that it's landed on the SFL to deal with this, but the SPL chairmen couldn't do anymore than they did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasda Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 That's my problem. The SPL clubs won't do that. Well, Kilmarnock would, but the rest wouldn't dare. I hope so, but when you see the depths this ridiculous carry on has plumbed in order to make Charles Geen rich I'm not 100% convinced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Anyone else feeling genuinely nervous about the vote? Football's been a huge, huge part of my life for over 25 years now and, with a kid on the way, something I was hoping to take him / her along to. Now it all comes down to today and I'm genuinely feeling worried about the whole thing. Nope Gaz, I'm in that boat too. I have a wee girl of 14months and a wee boy due in October. I'm also really looking forward to the new season under our new management team and have as much respect for our current board as I have ever had in my Rovers supporting lifetime. A vote for SFL 1 brings all that crashing down though and I'll have to find another hobby for my Saturday afternoons. Would be a shame, I really like football but I couldn't continue to invest in a corrupt game which is there solely for 2 pretty disgraceful institutions. The Rovers can keep my ST money for this season and I would wish them well but I wouldn't be back. I really don't want that to happen so yes, I'm nervous as f**k!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 D-day is finally upon us. A real chance for the 30 sfl clubs to stand up, be counted, and ultimately change our game for the good. Say no to sevco Justice for the 41 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 but dundee and dunfermline really need 2 years notice to quit.....whats good for the goose ........ Different issue. There is a proposal on the table which allows them to go the spl and the clubs are being asked to vote on it. And they have been given 14 days notice of the proposal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, you should go to the games ,Turnbull deserves the faith to be shown,if sevco are in your league, then boycott just those games,I wish to god that our chairmen had the balls to speak out as Turnbull has 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more or less the position we are in! The spl chairmen voted and said no! There was no way that they couldnt vote once they were asked to. Due to fan powere it was. A no.thisutomatically makes it an sfl issue...yes doncaster and regan are disgraceful for trying to impose the sfl one option and there may have been some complicity with some spl chairmen but the fact they voted when doncaster clearly wanted to vote delayed until after today shows that there is nowhere near the complicity that some people are frankly getting hysterical about. Sfl clubs would always have to man up and make a decision once newco were denied the chance to leap straight to spl. Moaning that newco is an spl problem is nonsense since they aren't an spl club. Time to focus on getting todays vote right and then remind doncaster that spl had already emphatically rejected newco the chance to be club twelve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 A thought occurred to me last night, I am most definitely wrong on this but my chemically f*cked up brain after years of abuse loves a good conspiracy theory. What if all this posturing towards saving Sevco is actually the 'effect' what if the real agenda is to get rid of Sevco as painlessly as possible, what if we are not the ones being tricked? You know, Rangers have been the victims of this recent SPL and SFA nonsense, just like the SFL clubs. They are actually blameless in this IMO. Anyone else feeling genuinely nervous about the vote? Football's been a huge, huge part of my life for over 25 years now and, with a kid on the way, something I was hoping to take him / her along to. Now it all comes down to today and I'm genuinely feeling worried about the whole thing. Very. This is a massive day, and I resent the fact that I'm going to be working away from my computer for big chunks of the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
