Think that’s why Lowe hasn’t fully closed the door on legal action. There is more mileage in this still to come. They can’t leave two full time sides drifting for a season with no league to play in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the league is starting in October, we don’t have any choice now but to play. But if it’s January or later, maybe ....? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With around 16 full timers signed for next season and full time managerial staff to pay as well, if we are mothballed for the whole season it will likely spell the end of the club.

Midlife Crisis Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Have to admit to not knowing the motivation of the clubs voting against reconstruction. But f**k em - hope they all go bust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public menace Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Thistle, Falkirk, Cove and Airdrie are the four who are ready to play according to the the BBC last week (I think) with the other six happy to mothball.If that’s the case then surely those four teams must be put into the championship. This making it a 14 team league, playing each other home and away once = 26 games. One less than the 27 agreed.If this isn’t the case, then the spfl will be restricting the trade of these clubs and their players. Something they want to be seen to be doing during a pandemic? Also it would be questionable legally I would presume. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlife Crisis Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Low’s been a disaster since the day she’ got involved with the club. Whilst she cannot be held responsible for the vote that has ultimately relegated us, she can be held responsible for us being in the position we were in when the vote was held. She needs to resign immediately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediocre Pundit Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Can someone enlighten me as to why any League 1 club would have voted against reconstruction? There would’ve been no real change to any team, prize money would still be the same based on overall ranking etc. The only thing they would lose is four home games with (relatively) big away crowds - but that can’t be it, surely? It’s about 80k max. Why would they vote against - I’m struggling to see the self interest either way for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's shite for a start seeing as East Fife and Montrose basically have almost full squads signed up. Absolutely no way they're doing that then voting to mothball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If theres 8 teams then that should be enough for the season to go ahead given that theres talk of the championship going ahead with 8 teams if arbroath and Alloa do decide to mothball as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
