Your first sentence is unfortunately, the genie that is out of bottle. The ruling club have got the whole set-up so stitched up, that any radical change is nearly impossible. I always felt 14 was the natural step to forming a bigger league. I had never factored in, that a minimum of 3x OF home games was too vital for most clubs.

And another thing as a season ticket holder the games that excite me and get the atmosphere going is the ones against the old firm, wee team and possibly the sheep so to advocate halving those games fills me with dread. So instead of fired up, get into then games we replace with matches against Morton, Queen of South etc. Jesus no thanks!!! Glad it amuses you johnny! But the fact is that in such a small country we don't have enough decent sized teams to make a perfect solution, not that one exists anyway. The current set up is stale. I think a change to something a bit different would be better, even if it's not necessarily loads better in itself - we need a change.

My stepdad has been going to matches since the 50s and he preferred the larger division. Just goes to show you, eh? I remember the ten team top division and it was absolute ****ing bobbins. Playing the same over-inflated beyond their means Kilmarnock or Motherwell teams up to six times a season with cups? Exhilarating stuff. Apart from one season in 1998 where we challenged for the title, it was honking. Can’t help but wonder whether we might have won the league that season if we hadn’t had to play the OF four times each? Maybe not, but it’ll always be a slight niggle for me.

All fair points but for me just about every league in europe has boring mid table games come the end of the season. It’s only ever exciting at the top or bottom. The split is just ridiculous and the game needs a shot in the arm, playing the same teams over and over again is just mind numbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sausage Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Will be interesting to see what happens this week. If the threat of legal action and a hold on the start of next season is enough to push clubs into accepting reconstruction, I’ll be surprised. All we’ve seen to date is self interest rule the day, so I expect we will see the reconstruction rejected fairly convincingly. It’s then up to Budge to proceed with a legal case and try her best to put clubs to the wall. At the end of the day, the only place where the truth will actually be discovered is in court, and it’s my hope that Doncaster and McLennan know this and will beg, borrow and steal to ensure reconstruction is passed.

Another article suggests that he spfl are looking at one league of 16 of clubs need mothballed. Or two leagues of 14 with one starting in Jan.

The poster who suggests only having to play the OF twice each is closer to correct. The arse cheeks know how much of an advantage it is to them to be playing the rest of us 3/4 times each season. Take Hamilton's win at Ibrox, that hurts der hun far more if they are only playing them twice. The current set up still allows for another 6 -9 points to be won most likely. Where the rest of us are taking points off each other, historically, those two tend to be racking the points up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that Sky would see their name dragged through the court as being acceptable and that is bound to be part of our legal argument I would think. Being linked in any way with an organisation working in a less than legal way and Doncaster and pals being publicly outed for some of the shenanigans that have gone on would be less than palatable to them. I am pretty sure they will have been making their feelings on this abundantly clear to Doncaster and McLennan. A ten million liability might well be quite a stick to bludgeon some of the more thick chairmen of clubs into line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 So the timeline today is: AM - 10 Championship clubs Zoom meeting. PM - Presentation of Member’s Resolution to all 42 club. Then they all go off and think about it, before coming back together to vote on the resolution a few days later. Is that correct? If so, then I think the goalposts are about to change, and the resolution will be about the clubs splitting in to who can play a full season, who can play a shortened season behind closed doors, and who can’t play any kind of season behind closed doors and need to mothball. It will then come down to whether or not consensus can be reached on some teams leap frogging each other in either direction to play in the division they are equipped to handle. Maybe this is where the permanent reconstruction teams will get their way? After we temporarily restructure to protect clubs by putting them where they are best placed to survive the crisis for a season, we then permanently restructure the divisions and start again from scratch. Still a minefield, and you have to factor in the stupid embarrassing ten/eleven in a row shit, and SKY deal etc, but I don’t see how else a resolution could tick enough boxes to be be passed.

To quote Provan, who would have believed it, its time for the SFA to step in, strongly support/advise, on how 42 clubs survive, and that may mean sacrifice for some to survive. For example, you start the season and can't finish it, it is off to the bottom League. Sweeten that a little with a system that it only takes 2 years and not 3 to get to the Premier.

Gilamas Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 12 hours ago, OldGorgie said: Hearts case is conservatively put at £3 million. Well above the Sheriff court. During Covid there are only 3 instances in which the Court of Session will act. The only one that Hearts can pursue is an interim interdict. There is nothing temporary about an interim interdict that involves a cease and desist order. The sheriff court has exclusive jurisdiction below £100,000. Above that and you can choose sheriff court or session court. (Personally, I’d say Session Court all along, but there is an option.) An interim interdict is a temporary interdict; only an interdict (Scots law version of the English “injunction”) is permanent. An interim interdict can be granted if the court agrees there is a primary facie case (ie a case that looks on the face if it to be valid) and where the pursuer would face harm if the action were not ceased.

We can assume I think with the staff on furlough, reduced players wages and out of contract players leaving that our staff costs are 30-40% lower than last year. We will also have other reduced costs with a stadium not needing as high running costs. We rent Riccarton - I wonder if we have done anything about those costs? On the plus side we are slowly selling season tickets and can find additional many from FOH and we have our benefactors and club shop sales Edited May 25, 2020 by Jammy T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
