They'll be in for a lovely shock when they have to navigate their way through Fife - they can't exactly just walk along the A92 as there is no footpath. Takes about 20 minutes just to get to Dundee City Centre from Tannadice, and then the bridge is a nice, lovely, steady incline which means it'll take them them the best part hour to get from Tannadice just to the other side of the Tay Bridge - where they will still be able to actually see their starting point Out of interest, I just quickly tried to put together a "safe" walking route, which avoids the main routes that will not have a dedicated walking path for them. It is incredibly difficult - from the other side of the Tay Bridge, there is no footpath along the A92, so they'd have to come through Newport and then start to head toward St Andrews. They could then follow the A91 from Dairsie to Cupar, but after that it has no footpath, so the back roads towards Leven would have to be used. Then it's all the way around Kinghorn, Burtisland and Aberdour to the Forth Bridge. There is no footpath along the A90, so it'll be coastal paths from Queensferry before coming through Edinburgh. Their 18 hour estimate is, quite frankly, nonsense I done the Dundee kilt walk and went past a few places you’ve mentioned here. We started at St. Andrews 18th hole and finished at broughty castle.

JL47 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 8 hours ago, SectionDJambo said: I don’t think it would be too much of an exaggeration to say that this witch hunt against Hearts, in particular, has been one of the most shameful affairs in Scottish football history. Mob rule, sponsored by dark forces hiding in the shadows, aided and abetted by a, pretty much, subservient media to those dark forces. Any reasonable person, or organisation, would have done all it could, under these extreme circumstances, to protect the entire Scottish football “family”. There were obvious means of helping every club survive this crisis. Instead, all reason has been abandoned and replaced by sheer spite and badness, backed up by a propaganda machine, of which Dr Goebbels, would have been proud. Keep saying the same lies often enough and the masses will believe them. The bad feeling, no matter who eventually gains the result they crave, will continue to poison football in this country for a very long time. For that alone, the entire SPFL board should resign. The damage that their deceit and blackmail has done is quite possibly irreparable. Clubs will probably go bust through an unwillingness to see through the haze of crazy self interest of far too many clubs. And it’s pretty much all self inflicted. Mr Adams told BBC 4 radio speaking about Boris blaming others. He said we are almost entering a Kafkaeque alternative reality where gov sets the rules, we follow them they don't like the results they change them. Sounds familiar.

colinmaroon Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I can't seriously work out why these clubs need to be represented at the tribunal, other than the propaganda value. The case is against the SPFL and if it comes down to "law" and the shenanigans of the Dundee vote and Doncaster's abuse of procedures, what are they spending all that money for? Hoping to filibuster again? Hearts and Partick Thistle have not broken any laws, so what can their argument be? It's not fair? REALLY!!!

The vote to relegate us was passed on Good Friday was just a matter of when it was announced. The SPFL’s claim of ‘unanimous’ was also questioned by a journo who said atleast two clubs didn’t agree (most likely ourselves and Rangers) 23 hours ago, DETTY29 said: The clubs agreed the season couldn't complete by 01 August.
