a f kincaid Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Poorly supported, yes but we couldn’t get past them in the playoffs and they’re more than holding their own in a league we can only dream of at the moment. Says as much about our club as theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 English Premiership paying out money to clubs based on current league position and amount of televised games each team has featured in. Why can't the SPFL do that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 If this is voted through, does all 42 league clubs get money or is it just the lower 3 divisions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow & Redneck Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Wouldn't another solution be to do what many European leagues have done, and simply scrap the League Cup (and maybe even the Challenge Cup) next season. That would give the SPFL a little more leeway in relation to start/end dates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we vote No, but it gets passed because other Clubs vote in favour , we are denied our share of the money? Even for the SPFL I cannot believe that .

CotterJag Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Other than playing the season out at some point, there is only one other way I'd see fit to arrive at an outcome. That involves the hiring of a company who could provide the final positions based upon an algorithm, written to consider the final games. It could consider current position, weight the outcome by more recent form, form against teams left to play, home and away form, injuries to key players etc. I'd rather see the games played but would feel less cheated if a company outside of Scotland did the above. To simply call it quits without considering the remaining games in any way, is just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Surprise,surprise QOS voting for this. Also Ayr will be voting for it. Dundee voting against it. So just 1 more vote against in the championship along with us would see this fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I guess all we can hope is Rangers use there muscle and prevent it all happening in the SPL . Will it then not fall apart as Hearts can,t go down and Dundee Utd can,t go up and the pyramid system falls apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle88 Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Surely this a perfect opportunity to revamp the Leauges. Top 2 from each league promoted, no one relegated .. Think it’s the fairest way forward for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the SPFL it's called following the rules to almost everyone else itsc alled blackmail! Very clear that, by declaring that there'll be no football before June, SPFL have strong-armed clubs into supporting the proposal, to get the prize money they need to help them survive. Absolutely shameful behaviour by Doncaster, SPFL et al, but no surprise there. We'll go down, and need to concentrate on getting back up asap. Alongside that, we need to remember the member clubs who sold out 'sporting integrity' in favour of the money. I understand why they have voted out of self interest, but, having thrown PTFC under the bus, they shouldn't be surprised that people like me will never set foot in their grounds in the future. Hopefully other Jags fans will do the same. Edited April 9, 2020 by AirdrieJag Incomplete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p12tfc Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I still don’t fully understand the issue with no relegations and two up from each league? Then next season 1 up 3 down from each league to return the numbers to they way they were? I can’t see any team that that proposal wouldn’t suit? No one suffers as a consequence of this and off we go. If leagues have to be shortened then split after a home and away against everyone and either play everyone once or twice more depending on how much of the season has to be cut Edited April 10, 2020 by p12tfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve61 Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Wouldn't surprise me if the board accepted our fate if the authorities offered ourselves and Stranraer a financial package. Four games v Clyde but 2 trips to Cove and Peterhead to look forward to. Totally shafted me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
