There is some suggestion they are at a different meeting with the SFA, who are due to discuss their licence application.

[Dalkeith]

The Chinese whispers outside Hampden are suggesting it will be Dundee who are named Club 12. But these are nothing more than rumours at the moment.

How is it that when lower league teams drew Rangers in the cup it was a nice money spinner for them despite only getting half the gate, yet when they get them twice at home in the league and get all the takings we get stories about them being crippled by policing costs.

More media bull****.

The policing expenses are taken from the gate receipts before the remainder is split between the clubs. Having said that, I'm sure they will still make a decent profit from two home games against SevCo. Best advice would be to charge them £15 each with no concessions until they can behave themselves.

The £50,000 quoted would be on a SevCo following of probably 6,000+ which isn't going to happen for all but the Clyde and Queen's Park games. And even then I think the £50,000 is seriously over-exaggerated as it's not as if there will be loads of home fans looking for a pagger?

and if it's not, they could be there on behalf of D&P who still hold the SPL share.

Given the statements and quotes from Chairmen (and that Green and McCoist have made presentations to the SPL before) I can't imagine there's any rabbits to be pulled from the hat.

Had to be. Total no brainer!

[YehButNoBut]

Just announced it will be Dundee in SPL this coming season.

[Gatecrasher]

Good, Can we now concentrate on our up and coming campaign?

[Stevie Reid]

Think it should have been Dunfermline, but am looking forward to an SPL campaign with no Buns and Dundee and Ross County in it. Will have a freshness about it.

[LancashireHibby]

Glad that's sorted. I saw Dundee play at Lancaster in a friendly last week and there were about 300 Dee fans there which seemed a decent following. Team didn't look up to much though and will need to do a lot of work in a short space of time.

[YehButNoBut]

Also idea of SPL2 looks to be over

Raman Bhardwaj‏@STVRamanKilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston elected on to SPL board.

Raman Bhardwaj‏@STVRamanSteve Brown (St Johnstone FC) and Derek Weir (Motherwell FC) stepped down as SPL Directors.

They are actually a first division outfit in the SPL which could see them being pumped most weeks unless they make a few signings in the next 6 weeks.

They'll get their 9 point fix from us at least. Unless we make a few more signings ourselves.

Totally agree. Can we now archive this thread and start a new one about how we are ALL going to supports our clubs in 2012/13.

A new league without Rangers. A new beginning! A clean slate! Let's look forward, don't look back!

Same could be said of most promoted sides though really?

Newly promoted sides don't normally have 3 weeks to prepare for the step up. Ross County have already been making signings this summer.

Not a chance... the administration, and then the liquidation, is going to run for a looooooooong time yet.

[Sylar]

Don't particularly agree with Dundee* but I'm happy that they've made a decision and hopefully now we can move on and focus on the football.

*However, the return of the Dundee derby and 2 further Hibs games in Dundee is an undeniably good thing!

so, that's the dundee billy boys replacing the govan billy boys swell

[BarneyK]

Well chuffed with this. A victory for the "diddies", and most importantly the fans

The Dundee derby would have been a big draw in light of a Hunnish absence.

Happy days, looking forward to playing and Dundee and watching the derby. Now let's get on with supporting the Cabbage. And laughing at the huns.

Raman Bhardwaj‏@STVRamanKilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston elected on to SPL board.

That's an interesting one considering he went against every other team in the SPL by abstaining a couple of weeks ago. Presumably he'll have been voted in by the same members who voted against Sevco.

I wonder what the thinking is behind that.
