They don't, though. There is a clause in the SFL Rules that says that ANY new entrant has to start in D3. So... a yes to Resolution 1 has them in the SFL. A No to Resolution 2 avoids the possibility of negotiation into D1. So they start in D3.Quote:

Resolution 2 can then be safely binned. However, I don't know if the rules for an SFL Special General Meeting allow amendments to be made at the meeting. If they do not then the clubs either have to go along with this evil plan or vote not to allow the huns into the SFL at all. That's been the plan all along because Longmuir, Regan and Donkey think that there's no way the clubs will do that.Quote:

Wow!
It doesn't mention that the vast majority of that loss will impact Celtc and Sevco the most. Most of the SPL sides only see a fraction of that money anyway.Quote:

It also doesn't impact on the SFL fixtures. That also gives a full season to get a proper solution and allow the clubs like Spartans a chance to get a presentation for joining the league prepared, all for the end of the season.Quote:

I'm sick and tired of these scare stories in the red tops, what a load of selective, one-sided, self preserving drivel.
It is because no one believes Donkeycaster and Regan :wink:Quote:

So, for my simple brain, resolutionwise, as currently drafted:-Quote:

b) if clubs vote YES to resolution 1, Sevco will be placed into the SFL and we move to resolution 2
c) if clubs vote NO to resolution 2, Sevco are in Division 3
d) if clubs vote YES to resolution 2, the SFL have the discretion to put them in Division 1
And in all cases it is a straight majority vote
Is that all right? :dunno:
That's my understanding. On (d), the clubs are effectively giving the SFL Board the power to negotiate a deal which suits them, in return for putting Seb in D1.Quote:

Unfortunately, part (c) is not so cut and dried. If they vote no to resolution (ii) it is then removed from the equation and you are left with the YES vote for resolution (i). Resolution (i) does not stipulate Div. 3 so Rangers could (with a bit of rule bending) be placed anywhere in the SFL.Quote:

No they can't, Stevie. The rule is there. The Board have no power to put them anywhere they want. If the clubs vote no to R2, and the Board try to ignore the rule, there will be an unholy row.Quote:
