Skyline Drifter Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 We won't be dying any time soon, not due to this coronavirus anyway, despite what weetoonlad fantasises about. If we did, I'm pretty confident there would be a phoenix club of some sort. I'd support that I expect. If not then I'd likely watch a lot more of Annan Athletic. And take in a few neutral games. I'd like to get down to Nottingham Forest a couple of times a season maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 If my club was Cowdenbeath, I'd rejoice. Alas, it is not. I'll still dance a merry jive if they die though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem the recall Cowden fans were particularly vociferous when we looked like going tits up in 2009. Them going tits up now would be pretty fucking funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we take 40,000 or 50,000 fans out of the weekly crowds, I suspect the whole structure might become unsustainable. I know we were told that the same would happen when Rangers died but at least the fans transferred over to the new club and their ticket money stayed in the game. But then, what do I know And I'd had a few beers last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of sides like Hearts going bust, would have little to no impact on the majority of clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each league managed just fine after Sevco were promoted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking 50,000 fans out altogether would 'cost' football about £10M a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland League teams have got by without money from the big clubs. I'm sure the remainder would be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we set one up for each feeder league into the Highland/Lowland League. PnB Buckfast v PnB Salt and Sauce will be the biggest derby of the year when they meet in the cups P&B Lorne v P&B Slice, shirley? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
