JakeSAFC Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It's the age old Tory tactic of creating a problem and then offering a solution that suits them best. I'm fucking sick of their pish and if this is allowed to happen, Scottish football is over for me. It would be hard for me to turn my back on Stirling, considering our stance. But I would in no way attend shitey B team games against those tramps. Same with Scotland games, refuse to give that shower that run our game any money. f**k the Old Firm and f**k the SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hopefully you get a reply back with at least a provision for supporters to have a say. Had hoped to see the chairman last night but didn't will hopefully bump into him at one of the coming games as he is usually prepared to discuss things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 They said that the subject hasn't been discussed as they haven't received a formal approach regarding whatever this proposal is. "If or when the club receive this mystery proposal it will be put before the board for consideration. Until such time we really can't comment." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing as presumably we had someone at the presentation from the old firm folk the other week, also quite a few other clubs seem to have received information with the outline of the proposal. Possibly need to keep pushing for a proper reply as this gives the impression of a possible sell out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMonc Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Edinburgh City keeping their powder dry but asking fans for their opinions, worth dropping the club a line to let them know how you feel.http://www.edinburghcityfc.com/2018/01/24/club-statement-colt-teams/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Not accepting this "wait and see" shite. If you're not immediately against the idea of 'Colt' sides in the league structure then you can go on the 'Bad Guys' list. Most revealing thing is that Morelos is only 21. He looks at least 30 ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You state that 10 clubs sat down collectively for a meeting with both of the old firm guys. That never happened - you can read Elgin City's website for an inkling how matters came about in their case for example. Maybe you think like Donald Trump the truth is just being pedantic? It helps credibility though if you are arguing a case to actually stick to the facts rather than assumptions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgesand Heartache Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just wondering if there would be any appetite for a fan campaign about this? Given that a decent percentage of lower league fans probably aren't following this closely or aren't online, I'm thinking handing out leaflets and getting people to sign petitions at the grounds etc. Would require a decent group of volunteers to do. Maybe this is a ridiculous idea but I feel like we should send a message that it isn't going to be accepted by fans either now or in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps credibility though if you are arguing a case to actually stick to the facts rather than assumptions. You argued over someone saying they found it strange that their club had responded saying they hadn’t heard anything because all 10 League Two clubs had had a presentation, that’s still true. All 10 League 2 clubs have been presented with the proposals, whether that was them all sitting down together or individually doesn’t really matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will most likely be ignored by the bigots and SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on a more simple matter, we need to talk to our fellow fans about this, just mentioning it at pre-match drinks, half time etc will help significantly to gain momentum against this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
