    On your second point, no idea. Thus far, it's just been "he says that to me"/"naw I didny". No evidence, for me, of criminality... just wide-boys fighting in the playground. There may be civil issues, of course, but it's too early to judge whether any criminal law has been broken.

    See my explanation above.

    I don't think many insurance companies write policies to cover one for devious duplicity.

    Chuckles was at the St Mirren v Celtic game recently, meeting Stuart Gilmore.

    Sevco games being played in Paisley soon?

    In an 8,000 capacity stadium?

    If they did lose their stadium, I'm sure the SFA would step up to the plate and offer Hampden at a very reasonable rate.



    I have to be honest, I was more suspicious about the fact that they met just before St Mirren made their official statement regarding league reconstruction. The statement said all the things most of us wanted to hear but the essence is that their vote is going the way that The Rangers would have wanted. Co-incidence? Possibly, but I now wouldn't discount anything in Scottish Football.

    If, for once, the views of the majority of supporters match that of Rangers then there is even more of a chance that the proposals are not rail-roaded through. I think you may be being a bit harsh on Gilmour though, as he has openly (and loudly) stated his views in the past and doesn't really come across as anyone's lap dog. The Killie chairman on the other hand ..

    Rangers are only against it because it means another season of playing the same teams they've been playing this year, and I suspect their supporters wouldn't be too keen on signing up another years season ticket money to go through that again.
    But you know it ain't all about wealth,
    as long as you make a note to .. EXPRESS YOURSELF!

    One of my friends has texted to say that there are sheriff's officers at Ibrox.
    Anyone know anything about this, or is it just another Celtic fan on the wind up?

    The SFA do not own Hampden. Queens Park do.

    Well i never, i was under the impression they sold the ground years ago and the SFA were now running it?

    How do Queens park pay for the upkeep of the place, is it through the income from internationals and cup games?

    I would imagine its a mix of rent from the SFA / SPL / SFL (who all have their own individual offices in the south stand) plus money from international games and semi finals & finals ect.

    They will also get a decent wedge everytime a concert takes place at Hampden.

    If that were the case would they not have a hefty turnover.

    I thought when it was revamped the SFA took control and the revenues and queens park play there for free.

    From http://www.hampdenpark.co.uk/the-ham...n-history.html

    "Queen’s Park, who still own the Stadium, are the only Amateur Club playing in the Scottish Football League and are currently in Division 2."

    EDIT - After abit of investigation it appears that although Queens Park still own the stadium (and the 33 acres of land around it) they rent the stadium to the SFA on a 20 year lease.

    Not this time. It's now a major fraud investigation with Chuckles and Whyte in the eye of the storm.

    Hilarious! :-D

    So let me get this right. Whyte and Green plotted the fall and rise of Rangers/Sevco through the Administrators Duff and Duffer who also have a connection to Whyte what they initially denied like Green and Whyte denied their connection until it became obvious that Green wasn't going to give Whyte his share of the spoils and now Whyte is crying about being ripped off?

    Apart from sounding like the intro to an episode of the 70's sitcom Soap, it ****ing stinks!

    What a farce of a club.

    Regan seeking clarity from Green on Whyte. He may as well seek a sperm sample from pope benedict.

    Looks like it - there's no honour amongst thieves after all.

    With one obvious exception, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
    What a farce of a club.
    Just like its predecessor.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Intetesting wording from Regan there - "we have to seek the facts". By implication I read into that "have to" that they might be obliged to but wish they didn't have to, for whatever reason.

    Maybe just me though.
