I see Motherwell have put it out to the vote of their fans. Apparently gave them the financial information they need to make the decision. So I was told. Anybody else heard anything about that?

In all seriousness how do you ballot your fans? Is it season ticket holders only or anyone that's ever requested a motherwell club catalogue?

I think it was to their fans group - whatever the **** it's called.

It's the 'well Society who are in the process of taking over the club. They were given a Guidance Note explaining what the financial consequences would be depending on how they vote.
 
I want to see it die because everyone says it wont die. Simple

A new league structure will be formed by the time Rangers are back in any decent shape <ok>

Haters always gonna hate.

Rangers are at fault here, not anyone else. Take yer oil.

That's the one.
 
the teams that need us most will vote yes, and therefore forfeit all revenue from celtic if the grey brigrade stick to their word and they will also lose all the revenue from rangers as wee will be voted out, (quite rightly so) and therefore DIE

I'd be surprised if any team votes yes because it's becoming obvious that newco aren't going to get the votes required to get into the SPL so why would chairmen from the other clubs vote on what was already a lost cause? If they did they'd be directly responsible for alienating the only fan base in the Country that would make a significant contribution to their revenue.

As for clubs dying? Some, maybe even more, clubs would be financially worst off at first but they will cut their cloths to fit. The dependancy on other clubs to generate their highest levels of income from the old firm visits will naturally have to be re-evaluated but with a more competitive league (at least for 2nd place season 2012/13) and Celtic taking the biggest (in terms of pounds) financial hit, probably causing us to have to downsize within a year, the traditional rules that we all took for granted will have changed.

What we are seeing is a revolution that will have a fundamental effect on the distribution of income across all other teams, not to mention the voting system that will no doubt be reformed (10-2 was never right anyway) and possibly a chance to make other improvements relating to the size of our leagues and the number of times teams compete against each other in a season.

Sevco/oldco fans expecting football in this Country to die a death either weren't old enough to remember the early to mid eighties or are too introspective to see the bigger picture. And some are just complete thickos.

Trev I don't peg you as one of the thickos so which is it - are you old enough to remember the 'new firm' of Aberdeen and Dundee United or haven't you looked outside the blue box to see that (for all us other clubs) this could be a good thing in the medium to long term?

Or are you winding us up and you don't really believe what you write?
 
Surely banned just means prohibited, so in effect, Rangers are banned from playing in Europe for 3 years. **** knows why you have got such a hard on for Trev using the term "banned".
 
in all seriousness, there is a defiance about the rangers fans that is putting the backs of fans of other clubs up

forget celtic - we will always "hate" you and vice versa

its more the sense of entitlement that some bears seem to have - that not voting for sevco to join the spl sanction free is some kind of crime

you should be punished - all that has happened so far is 10 point deduction - players leaving, bad press, not in europe etc are not punishments - they are inevitable consequenses of your actions (by your i mean the club)

<applause>

A ten point deduction is not a punishment for what Rangers have done ... it was simply a punishment for going into Admin!
