You would be right. I heard the SFL will need to pull in independent lawyers to identify their rules and regulations - this has all the makings of corruption.Quote:

Sometimes it's what you're not saying that lets everyone know if you are being truthful or not - the statement's a shocker - the guy's a liarQuote:

do me a favour FFS - if the SFA had anything to do with this he's in it up to his neck - he's a:bandit:.
:agree: Once the non Hun fans have sorted Rangers out surely its possible to then get an effective campaign going to cancel Sky subscriptions in response? You never know this might make them think about it. I'd certainly cancel mine.Quote:

Lets look at some the clubs who have been admitted recently:
Annan Athetic ....... doing what ?
Peterhead .... what impact have they made ?
Inverness Caledonian Thistle .... most disappointing of all IMO ... there was a club from a town where you were guaranteed a good crowd for Scottish cup ties when it had only Highland league clubs. I thought it was brilliant when ICT joined the league .. heres a club who can be the next Dundee Utd and really bring something to the table was my thinking.
Instead of that they have a rubbish stadium and home crowds of about 4,000.
So lets be realistic .... newco current buns should be a shoe in for SFL membership. Its one thing cutting off your nose to spite you face. Its quite another cutting off your whole bloody head.
Dont ya think ?

But I do agree with you about huns coming into div 3. Thats the right place.
yeah but an abstain is as good as a yes so will make there supporter clubs a bit foolish as they were all for boycoting all us little clubs if we did the same!!!!!!!Quote:

Get in where? The SPL?Quote:

Why, have they gone bust, have they moved the boundaries, and do they fit the right criteria needed to join the SFL?Quote:

Yes, because that's what Rangers are trying to do. The point has been made about smaller clubs who should get a chance in front of them.Quote:

The question we need to answer is this, is the league set up so teams can generate revenue through regular fixtures that bring big crowds. Or, is it set up purely as a sporting competition.
Personally, I'd rather see the second, because the theory that big clubs are good for our game has been shown to be flawed. However, it's only right to consider the original reason football leagues were set up - to generate cash.
Why would they want to?Quote:

They had their go and blew it, so someone else should be given the opportunity.

What if New Rangers struggle in Division 1, and are relegated? Will we see this again next season?
What happens to the next team to go bust, where do they apply to on the way back to Scottish football?
There's a million other questions too, when the rules are in place now to quash them.
CORRUPTION IS ALIVE AND WELL IN SCOTTISH FOOTBALL.
Yep, quite happy with nothing if I believe they are a factor in whatever shady deal is landed on.Quote:

ICT average home gate for 2011-2012 was 4023. United was 7482. ICT's highest 6623 (v. Rangers) and lowest 3035 (v. St. Johnstone) United's highest was 11471 (v. Aberdeen) and lowest was 5232 (v. Killie)Quote:

Work is underway to make Victoria Park a 6000 seater stadium. Interestingly the population of Dingwall itself is less than that.
So Fairydean in front of Sevco it is then.
Given my previous post about Gala Fairydean I would like to point out that Galashiels has a population three times that of Dingwall and Netherdale has an all weather 3G artificial surface.
Us fifers have balls and a refusal to to bend to pressure to change our views......stubborn buggers...Quote:
