"The financial impact on the club would be significant. "The overwhelming feedback we have had from supporters is that they understand the challenges we face and that any sort of refund would not be expected. "This no refund policy is also in line with the club's season ticket terms and conditions. "We don't underestimate the impact that the pandemic will be having on many and assure you that, if we were in a position to do so, we would offer a refund option." They'll still sign some Scott Dobie on £12k a week though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts don't go down, everyone in the second and fourth tiers gets promoted, you can still swap Raith and Partick, give Cove and Dundee Utd a trophy, and Brora & Kelty come in. To make the next season more interesting for more clubs for longer, make it five up five down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 There’s a simple reason the top league gets first vote on this. It’s to kill it. If the rest of the leagues come together and agree to this then the pressure on no voting teams become huge. Not that it seems to matter judging by what’s coming out the lower leagues. This will be rejected at the first hurdle but that won’t be the end of reconstruction. It will be for the premier league sure, but I’m willing to bet in a statement there will be a comment along the lines of “ while we can’t agree to reconstruction in the premier league at this time. We will however not reject any reasonable reconstruction proposal for the Scottish championship and downwards”. Now I’ve said this reconstruction idea before and I will write it again. But I think two things about it. One. It is actually quite fair Two. It is actually really funny too. We have four leagues of 12. We bring up Kelty, Brora, Loco and Bonnyrigg. We don’t relegate Thistle and Stranraer. We let Falkirk and Edinburgh City up. There we go leagues are the exact size, they can vote on having a split too. Only one team actually gets relegated and we can give them some compensation. Also you can bet if next season there’s a half season in the championship, you can bet whoever is bottom of the premier league will be screaming about it being unfair for them to be relegated when Hearts or Dundee have only played 18 games. I’d expect that caveat to be mentioned in the reconstruction rejection also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as the third tier becomes the bottom tier. So they're going from the bottom tier to the erm bottom tier. Not much of a promotion that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 A similar idea was mooted 7 years ago by the spfl, which would have seen us remain in the bottom tier for a second season. Scottish fitba assured us that we would be moving from the 4th to the 3rd tier, so we wouldn't have been denied a promotion. I'm guessing that this is different. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed... It’s exactly same position as Peterhead, Clyde and perhaps Forfar. I’m not sure why some people don’t see this as a problem for supporters of all these teams including Cove. Extremely unfair and contrary to what Budge says disadvantages the clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
