Jaggybunnet I don't understand how you say we can deal with debt better in the UK. Surely all the evidence of UK policies have shown that debt will continue to rise. Even with the austerity cuts in place they at best are only making a fractional difference and it is very reliant on a housing bubble in London? Also everyone talks about the oil running out (which it will) but only the Yes movement is offering ideas on how Scotland continues to grow its enconomy (development of green energy, diversification of ship buildiing, encouraging manufacturing, reducing emmigration etc) Maybe I missed it but I haven't seen anyone from the BT campaign explain how Scotland will remain a net contributor to the UK coffers post the oil running out? Are we seriously expecting that the UK will see us ok after the oil is gone? They think we are subsidy junkies and expect us to be grateful just now - what will they be like if this was actually true?

First post ever but I have been a thistle fan since I saw Kenny McDowal score for Thistle against Airdrie in 1981 so I've seen my share of ups and downs. I am however a football fan who believes in fair play and expects a level playing field Whilst I hope my club will always be around (and we have seen some close shaves with save the Jags and the damage Ken Bates did!) if we were ever liquidated I expect either we start from scratch or we go into oblivion. Anything else betrays the sport I love. Rangers died last week. Everything else being played out in the media does not get away from this. New rangers have never played a game, not signed a player or hired a manager. How can a club with none of this go into the top teir of Scottish football without the foundations on which a sport is played being damaged beyond repair? If this happens I will not attend any more football games in scotland (bar international matches). Also I have children who I will not be bringing to any games. If I want to see a spectacle with a foregone conclusion I will take them to wrestling. It would appear that I want them to see competitive sport I will need to take them to the rugby or athletics. The best quote I have seen through this entire afair cam from John McBeth "If you look after the sport the money will follow you, if you look after the money you'll kill the sport" If you think I am being harsh I leave you with the question below If New Rangers come back into the SPL and finish bottom of the SPL in 2012-2013 will they be relegated or deemed too big to be relegated? If you allow New Rangers to come back into the SPL by paying money to any scottish football club you have already shown to the Media/SFA/SPL/Bigots that rangers cannot be anywhere but in the top division if you answereed 'no' to new Rangers in the SPL you are a football fan who believes in the sport no matter the cost to any one club even if that club is your own So in short - New rangers = New football team = Start from bottom = Sport = me continuing to pay money to Thistle, New Rangers in SPL= sham = Me not paying any money to any Scottish club (including Thistle)
