LargsTON Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Had an idea which will probably never get off the ground but here goes. It would be good if all clubs who cast a no vote towards the newco entering the 1st div could have their grounds packed out by us for one of our visits next season. As an example, Raith issued a statement confirming they'd be voting no instead of chasing 30 pieces of sliver. It would be a superb gesture to attempt to take as large a travelling support as possible to Kirkcaldy for one of our games through there. Buy a programme, pie, the lot to show a bit of unity and appreciation for clubs listening to the supporters for a change. Hopefully the idea would catch on and supporters of opposition sides would return the favour. "packing the ground out" is obviously a bit of an exaggeration but even 800-1000 would make a huge difference. "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, if they're bringing a large support they won't have to worry about legroom. "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibi Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Regarding reconstruction, it's a yes from me. However not for the coming season - a reasonable perio of notice is needed. If it's for the 13-14 season then fine, and that means Rangers would still be in the lower tier for a second year. Maybe should have a rule preventing promotion for teams for the first 5 years of their existence too... "Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."

ianton Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 to keep them out of Division one?. Great to see we are saying no.How many other clubs will do the same.I see Raith have publicly said no as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I believe they need 23 out of 30 (or 29 if someone goes up to the SPL) in favour to get into the 1st, so 8 required to oppose. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

bob_the_builder Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think they need 75% of the SFL clubs to vote in their favour so if at least 8 or 9 clubs say no then they are gubbed here today, gone to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawheid Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 If DDR can effectivly turn away a large sum of money for the running of the club, then he cant be expected fans to dig deep into their own pockets everytime it comes to fundraising.I for one whom have donated large amounts over the years,and i am ready to make a stance on doing absolutly SFA in the future. I will also have a think about why i should continue supporting any kind of football across the board,scotland included. you lot have your views and actions , well this is MINE eat drink and be merry for tommorrow you may be radioiactive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 So far Falkirk, Raith, Peterhead and ourselves have spoken up officially to say that they wouldn't vote to allow Rangers into the First Division, so really only another 4 from the remaining 26 clubs would have to say no for it to be official. You'd imagine Livi would vote no, given how they were punished a few seasons back, so really only another 3 clubs needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you really like Morton - why not go the full hog now and support them completely? If things don't change, they'll stay the way they are.
