In 2000, the league was expanded from 10 to 12 and the bottom team were due to have a play off with the 2nd and 3rd team in the 1st division. 2 of the 3 teams in the play off round robin would have played in the top tier As Falkirk didn't have the required facilities, they were not promoted and therefore the play off didn't take place, with Dunfermline being promoted alongside St Mirren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a “we are being fluid in our approach as of today everything is on as normal we will update tomo” would have sufficed. We have a bodybuilding competition hear in a few weeks and they have posted saying we only have about 300 people plus staff and vendors expected so we will 💯 be on. PR is not peoples strong suit today. EFA have to cancel things tomo with Chelsea , Leceister and Arsenal being out of action surely that means they can’t play until Mid April.

credit card Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Day 6 of being stuck in quarantine in Vietnam. Daily the worldwide situation worsens. By day 14 when we hope to get released, beside possible mental health issues about being locked in a room 24/7 who knows if we will even be able to get a flight home now as airlines are cutting routes and countries are closing borders. The British Embassy have been successful in getting those in our group with a British passport an early release. This has all been done hush hush through the back door after 3 knock backs. The trouble is my wife is Irish and because of that we are stuffed despite massive work by the Irish they are getting the rubber ear. So it's the full 14 days for us. The ET bashers will not let us out despite, just like everyone in the group who are getting to go, we have tested negative. It's all been a bit James Bond as we've passed info to The British and Irish Embassies and then telling them what each other is saying but the Vietnamese authorities are not budging. #freethewheatfieldone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
