AJF Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 53 minutes ago, Caballero said: Extremely amateur and unprofessional conduct if you ask me. Spending millions of pounds on players, rather than keeping the stadium in the required condition for actual games. I await the media frenzy and Clement saying how unacceptable it is and that it looks very bad for Scottish football. Then surely a fine. You do understand the stadium works are improvements to introduce a disabled supporter viewing platform? It has nothing to do with keeping up to a required condition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will big Phil have to say about this comedy hour, he had plenty about us. But it isn’t the case the fixtures haven’t been fulfilled, as it stands. They’ll either be played at an alternative venue, or we will have a couple of our home games switched to away games in the first round of fixtures, I’d imagine. I’d be very surprised if there are any postponements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) If they can't get SPFL to start with 4 away games it'll be Murrayfield but this raises issues of its own. When did both OF last play 'away' using transport/etc. at same time (nevermind 40k+ from Rangers)? What if Hearts are also due home? etc. etc. Edited June 20 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 We will rent them Greenhill Road. Still only getting one stand though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyDickFingers Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Just start all the home games at about 75-80 mins for a month and you wont need the seats anyway. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Just now, kent_don said: It won’t be a problem because the authorities will bend over backwards to help you out. I just don’t see any equivalence here. The fixtures will likely either get played at a different venue or they’ll swap a couple of our away fixtures scheduled for the second round of fixtures and bring them forward to the first round. The only team that will be impacted negatively here is Rangers as we will either a) play home games away from Ibrox, or b) start the season with a batch of away fixtures 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 The fixtures should be announced as usual. If Rangers can't fulfill the home fixture then they give up the home advantage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure that Luton Town had a similar issue in the season just finished and their home game was postponed and played at a later date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a contradiction in there. If you’re saying it’s a benefit not playing in front of the fans at Ibrox then why would a batch of home games later in the season be a benefit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what’s being reported by Chris Jack, it seems as though this may be the case, with us potentially using Murrayfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
