I too agree but judging on history it wouldn't be too wild a guess if one club gambles money they don't have on promotion (or to avoid relegation for that matter). Having said that with the absence of the serial offenders it's hard to pick a likely "gambling club". Killie possibly but other past culprits like Morton and QoS don't have the benefactors of old. I'm not too sure about Pars but you'd think with what they've been thru they'd desist.
Dunfermline of course have taken some German investment, and I believe the German investment group intend to move to a majority 75% shareholding position in due course.

When it comes to football, history has taught me to be a glass half empty character. However, somehow I still think we can get promoted!!
the logic? No one else is winning games. We are capable of playing better whilst most of the others around us are not
now I know we have been honking , but I can’t see any of the potential teams that we would play that we couldn’t beat over two legs if we find just a little form and have the right attitude.
I will revert to glass half empty mode if they let me down over the next ten days. Surely Clyde will be knackered playing us after a run of sat tues thurs sat tues. surely that’s 3 points in a league of so many draws a few wins change everything.

Freezing ground - glad I am not there
They are a decent team with a good manager; club all pulls in same direction
That said, with the disparity in budgets, we really should be taking teams like this apart

The first team bar a couple of exceptions seems to be almost entirely relying on Scott Tiffoney- if only everyone else had even half the passion, energy and ability of this guy. If we get to the playoffs it will be a huge bit down to him almost dragging some of his woeful team mates along there
Yes. He could be as important as Scott mcdonald was. But of course he has less time to make the same impact.
incredible that we are relying on a signing who seems to have been an afterthought!!

I have high hopes for Tiffoney being this seasons equivalent to what Scott McDonald did for us

Signed up, good to see @jaf involved
It’s a great team, all prepared to roll their sleeves up and work as hard as Danny Lennon in midfield! Plenty work ahead! Thanks everyone for your support so far.

If it is a normal company limited by guarantee, my understanding is that the guarantors are the members, but the maximum contribution each has to make is £1.
I will ask the legal member of the team to draft something explaining this, and post it on website.

Because one (unnamed) club publicly states that ALL football should be suspended.Governing bodies really are only interested in the Sky Premiership.
It will be Inverness. They have no money. They will be trying to trouser the 500k without the expense of testing.

Ian Maxwell has written to championship clubs asking if they want to suspend the season or continue playing ....reply by Monday .....utter joke
So let me get this right.
they get paid 500k and asked whether they want to keep playing, despite the higher amount being to justify all their additional testing costs etc.
we (and others) get 150k and compelled to stop playing
i understand football is the ultimate meritocracy, but that just seems completely baffling and wrong

In our league teams have received £50,000 Anderson money and £150,000 SG money which i thought was so that these clubs could continue playing during this pandemic by using the money for testing and other related expenses, so why the need to halt the season. What am i missing ?
League 1 average attendance last season - 1148
Assume average spend on tickets and MARGIN on pies bovrils etc - £20 per head
Less Vat
multiply by 18 home games in League
That's an average total of £344k
Money received 200k
However average is pulled up greatly by Falkirk attendances (if we instead look at Dumbarton in isolation, the amount is £199k for example). Perhaps at weekend I will do a calculation for each club
This ignores the positive impact of the fact season ticketholders have still paid, live stream revenues, furlough, and not having the costs of games to put on, whilst ignoring the negative admitedly of lost hospitality MARGIN
Conclusion : for most of the clubs in the division, £200k of funding should leave them in a similar position to what they would have been, with notable exceptions being Falkirk and ourselves, and to a lesser extent Airdrie. For these clubs the proportion of season ticket sales to total attendances is a key factor in how badly impacted the three clubs will be.
So in answer to your question AJ, I agree.

Cant see it being played on Tuesday without a fairly fast thaw and no rain otherwise the pitch will be waterlogged. Rearranged for next Saturday anyone?
Would that need Cove's agreement?
Can't see them agreeing if we have an injury crisis!
-
I don't think its as simple as just looking at attendances.
Should it not be Average attendance LESS season ticket holders.
Therefore the teams most reliant on pay at the gate would do best in the distribution.
This is on the assumption most clubs season tickets numbers have been impacted to a small but similar percentage.

Only if there are members! Why not have a fans' representative organisation up and running in advance? It will have a role as such even if the shares are not handed over. That way it is not a brand new organisation, still trying to sort out governance etc and will be ready and functioning when the estate is finalised.
It will be up and running well in advance of any share transfer Scotty for each y those reasons

Gary Caldwell would be proud of that presentation. Unfortunately provides little in the way of new information. I'd really like to know where we are on the timeline because very little has moved forward. The result being that nobody is actually being held accountable at the moment.
Drop me a pm if you want any more details, but the ultimate timeline is dependent upon the finalisation of colin weir’s estate, a matter outwith the control of either the working group, or three black catsWe are confident the jags foundation will be ready and able to accept the shares at that point as a robust membership organisation
