The point is that after The Old Scum, Hearts, Hibs & Aberdeen, there a are a group of similar sized clubs, eg St. Mirren, Motherwell, Dundee, Kilmarnock, Partick, etc.

 

Morton are not in that group - Morton are in the diddy group below. :lol:

overall it doesn't make reading. BUT YOU STILL CAN'T COUNT

 

going by those results

 

the skunks are Scotland's 8th Biggest team - not 6th :D historically

 

however we are the 15th :( historically

 

but that is only going by those stats, plus you are from Paisley. So i will take off 8 places. Making you 16th :D statictically below us :D

morton also acheived the record for fewest goal scored/most goals

conceded in the top flight in one season

 

the last two times you've been in the top flight you've conceded 100+ goals.

 

can anyone confirm this?

 

good luck with your shiny new board.

should be some good banter now that Captain has signed up, along with the Bruce.

 

i foresee a few bannings taking place.

2050[/snapback]

 

There will be no bannings. Its only a bit of banter. :lol:

 

Anyway, I stop for 2 weeks holiday today and won;t be back online for a fortnight. I'm missing the Renfrewshire Cup Final and everything.

 

Never mind, I'll be back in time to see us start our campaign which will see us back in the SPL come the end of the season.

 

PS - I actually quite fancy Morton to win the Second this season and will be putting £20 on a St. Mirren / Morton double at odds of 14/1............. :rolleyes:

the double for us and the skunks does look like a good option.

 

You definately have a chance of promotion. Though Dundee are looking stronger everyday

They're looking weaker every day. They've just sold Steve Lovell.
