The more clubs obliterated the better. FoH and Hearts supporters clubs should be working on collating their messages regarding boycotts. Put in our resignation from this season's (ha ha) Scottish Cup. Couldn't give a toss whether that gives Hibs a bye to the final but they can ram it up their **** sideways. Reinstate Rangers. give it to Celtic, play it in Neil Lennon's back garden - I honestly don't give a **** about it. Sums up how I feel as well. surely to **** we’re not going to agree to play in that utter shambles of a competition. There will be players lifting that trophy who have no right to it.

Also can we refuse clubs como tickets etc? Their boards better be sitting in the roseburn ****ing wanks. They should be barred from the ground unless their is an explicit rule that allows them in. Hope that we are in a position to instruct our lawyers to start legal action today and communicate this to the fans this afternoon.

I would like to know if we agreed to this or whether we were a dissenting voice. I would be very disappointed if we agreed to it rather than outvoted.

Martin_T Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I'm not going to pretend that I'm in any way a legal expert, but I think that we have to get an injunction as soon as possible, to prevent the publication of the fixture list.

It is now time to get the gloves off and sue. Anything else will create a huge chasm between the club and supporters. Aye cause there’s never been a rift during Anne’s tenure. Im honestly worried now, because nothing I’ve seen from Budge gives me the confidence that she’s got the fire in her belly and the vitriol needed to fight this. We can’t let this lie and if she tries to dodge going to court, which I don’t think she will; but if she does we as fans have to force her hand.

Captain Canada Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Might it be the case that if/when we do raise legal action, Doncaster will just say the SPFL has no money to defend it in court?

gavin1985 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 All boxes ticked for court papers, we can't say we tried to resolve it before taking action. Time to burn the SPFL to the ground. Cause as many clubs to go to the wall as possible!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53048903 Quote Hearts, Partick Thistle & Stranraer relegations confirmed Quote Hearts, Partick Thistle and Stranraer have had their relegations confirmed after only 16 clubs indicated that they would vote for league reconstruction. The SPFL's 42 sides were asked if they would support a permanent 14-10-10-10 setup but the backing fell short of the threshold required. The league say their board has now "agreed to draw a line under reconstruction talks". It means that next season will begin with the existing 12-10-10-10 format. Championship clubs approve 27-game season Thistle urge clubs to back reconstruction Hearts are consigned to the Scottish Championship, Partick Thistle to the League One and Stranraer to League Two. The trio were all relegated having been bottom of their respective divisions when the campaign was curtailed amid the coronavirus pandemic. It also means that Lowland League champions Kelty Hearts and Highland League counterparts Brora Rangers will not be invited to join the SPFL. League chief executive Neil Doncaster said the clubs' responses give "absolute clarity". "Whilst a number of clubs were in favour of a new divisional set-up, the support for it was insufficient and we will now move forward based on the current 12-10-10-10 structure," he added. "Now that we have a confirmed structure for next season, the SPFL's fixturing team will begin work on the Premiership fixture list, which will start on the weekend of 1 August." The indicative vote was designed to establish whether an EGM should be called to hold a formal ballot. However, the resolution would need the backing of 32 clubs - with 17 from the top two tiers combined and 11 from the top flight - to pass. It had been understood an outcome just short of that would also force a vote, but not enough support was forthcoming. Hearts and Thistle have both mentioned the prospect of mounting a legal challenge against their demotions should this process fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
