SectionDJambo Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I don't think that the reason for the 10,000+ virtual tickets at Inverness was fully and truthfully explained during the match coverage. It was suggested, as I recall, that it was because Inverness had contributed part of the ticket money during our administration back to Hearts. There was no mention of it being mainly because Inverness are one of the few clubs who supported our view that the Good Friday vote was not satisfactorily carried out, and was certainly subject to some dubious underhand behaviour by the SPFL board, which was not challenged by most of the other clubs. I wondered if the Inverness chap, whilst being interviewed, didn't want to open old wounds. Arbroath may or may not have joined in with the public kicking of Hearts, but they certainly didn't come out in support of us regarding the financial hit being dumped on the 3 clubs. They were happy to sit back and think about the gate receipts from a couple of visits from Hearts. The failure of this attempt to piggy back on the success of the Inverness initiative, should discourage others from trying the same. If we are going to repeat the exercise, it would be better if we helped when playing Brora, who were also shafted, and Stranraer, should we qualify to play them in the next round of the cup.

Yep, said at the time 90% of donations were because of the Inverness vote, 9% Robbo and 1% 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboT Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 1 hour ago, TheBigO said: Fact is, as it is, you're only guaranteed 3 home games against the OF. Going down to 2 would it really sink teams? The mentality in our game top to bottom is so small time it hurts. I have to say, this is a point that really annoys me. You should only be guaranteed two home games against the Old Firm and could potentially have four before the split if the fixture list was impartial, but we treat the OF differently by ensuring every club gets 3 games.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 5 hours ago, davieholt said: My take is they must be pretty desperate to imagine this could fly. Don't want any club to fold (except St Mirren and possibly Rangers obvs), especially community clubs which help develop the game in wee towns up and down the country. I really can't get excited about how these clubs voted because they all looked to protect themselves. I'm much more incensed by the voting structure of an association which allows small clubs to threaten the very existence of otherwise well run full time professional outfits. I can. Arbroath is an example of a club that could easily have done what Edinburgh City, East Fife and others did and voted to do "no harm". Arbroath had absolutely nothing to lose as they were safe mid table. In fact they were having a decent season and were in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Its embarrassing. The level of whining and entitlement from diddy clubs when they 'only' get one is beyond pathetic. How did Chick Young describe Budge? A Squealing pig? Well, I can't think of a more apt phrase to describe these no-mark club chairmen squealing when they don't get their second helping of bigots funding their existence.

Malinga the Swinga Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If Hibs fans want to donate money to Arbroath, fair enough, no impact on Hearts. What happens when Raith or Dunfermline do the same and ask for funds? They will end up donating more to other clubs than they do to their own. ****ing muppets don't realise just how stupid they are.
