    Good point, the only true vote for sporting integrity was a 'NO' vote and the Squirrels abstained so therefore didn't vote FOR sporting integrity. I hated going there anyway.

    On the SPL threats, is there any chance of setting up an SPL 2 for next season given that there are only 4.5 weeks till the start of the season? Could SFL 1 clubs resign from the SFL and join an SPL 2 this season or is there a notice period?

    IMHO, there is no chance of an SPL 2 happening this season, so the SFL clubs should just call the SPL's bluff and put the newco into SFL 3 next season.
    The SPL knows there is not a cat in Hell's chance of getting a new league set up in 4 weeks - would struggle to sort out in a year ! Would need application process, selection process, new Articles, rules for play-offs etc etc . Hollow and ridiculous threat by Doncaster.

    In all seriousness CWG it must ALL be on this thread, but it would take some searching to find anything! :) This thread would make as expert a witness as probably anyone who is actually called to testify. Who wants to represent this thread in Westminster?

    Interesting they also say that there is a large penalty for abstaining in a vote like this, unless there are extraordinary circumstances.

    Does this mean Killie could be punished for not voting?
    But Sevco were able to vote today ?

    It appears the rules for SPL and SFL are different.

    SPL dream over, for Rangers AND for Dungcaster

    http://m.skysports.com/article/football//7865945

    Sky Sports understands...

    ...that surely it is now all over for Dungcaster and it is certainly no longer any of his goddamn business where the NewCo ends up? Unless the cretin was serious about his SPL2 threat? Let's hope not.

    dont see why they are not allowed to vote because of a conflict of interest when rangers were just allowed to vote in whether they should be allowed into the SPL.
    I very much agree with you as them voting are a conflict of interest is it not?

    Latest count for Rangers to SFL1

    Thistle are the 11th SFL club to voice opposition to a newco in Division One, following announcements from Falkirk, Dunfermline, Raith Rovers, Morton, Livingston, East Fife, Stranraer, Stirling Albion, Peterhead and Clyde.

    With Only 29 voters, that just leaves 4 more clubs...

    Is the % required not 75% in favour of Newco being allowed in? And is the vote for SFL1 or any SFL division?

    If they were to start in SFL3 then the structure would need to be altered, wouldn't it?

    So Killie will miss out on newco money next season and now probably have upset Celtic and other SPL clubs also.

    If they had voted No then they would have upset newco but the rest of the SPL clubs would have still given them money.

    Makes no sense to me
    I'm going to be kind to Michael Johnston. I don't agree with him but at least he's been honest and consistent throughout. He could hardly vote Yes given reaction of Killie fans but voting No would have gone against what he thinks is the right thing to do.

    I think it was established that it only required a >50% yes vote in order to pass it. This would be voted on by all SFL clubs.

    No restructuring needed for going into SFL3 as they would simply be filling the vacant spot.

    Nope. Every club would simply budge up a place. No reshaping would be required.

    Definitely 50%, as confirmed by Clyde's statement.

    Have Airdrie not also said they were going to abstain? In that case will it only need 14 votes against or will there be a casting vote?

    Does anyone know the official vote count, all I seem to see is overwhelming not unanimous.
    Thats exacty what I was thinking ,thousands of fans are on the brink off walking away clarity on how their clubs voted ,would have been of great interest IMO ,sadly its the old mushroom situation tell them heehaw ,keep them in the dark and throw some ***** at them now and again

    Today´s decision to refuse access into the SPL was an overwhelming one and demonstrates the depth of feeling amongst everyone involved in Scottish football.
    Either Celtic have been living in cloud cuckoo land and didnt already know the feelings held, or they were hoping for something to change before they decided which way to vote.

    IMO of course.
