IF 3 teams are coming up and we’re going down then the board must fight this. Otherwise they risk alienating and losing more of an already dwindling support. Sorry I am getting a bit confused. You don't mean 3 teams coming into the championship, do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaty FC Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Just a pity east fife's ground has a low capacity. Suspect first opportunity to visit would attract an excellent travelling support assuming we end in the same league.

We've been outmanoeuvred & shafted yet again- the slimy SPFL @rseholes know the h*ns have fek all on them, Stranraer are skint and - now with hearts silence bought with budge on board - they know we're in a corner and highly likely to sh*t our pants. Even with legal opinion on our side, the SPFL will have similar legal opinion that will agree with them & the courts have previous in that they don't want court time wasted with football. It's a glass half empty night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_adam Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 As much as I disagree with us being relegated, I really just can't wait to go to Firhill at the next opportunity and cheer on whoever is playing for us in whatever division we are in. Just miss the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the differebce between bumping your (virtual) gums on a forum and a sober, coherent and robust series of actions that properly expresses the disgust that I hope is felt by every Thistle fan today. I hope we do do it if only to show that we really care about what has been done to us today. What about approaching the supporters buses and asking them to absent themselves for a season. If we sre all keyboard warriors with no teeth then let's have no more from anyone about the board being weak and lacking direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they afford not to? If they don’t and just crumble without a fight, that’s it for me and I’m sure for a large number of fans. They need to show backbone on this and not just take it. They did the right thing and took legal opinion which they publicly published. We lose all credibility if we don’t follow that through and the SPFL will continue to do what they want and we will be shat on whenever they feel like it as we’ll be seen to be feeble and weak.

exiledjag Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Signing off for tonight with this. I have little faith reconstruction will happen and expect us to be in League 1 next season. However if it does happen (we should be in the Championship) it's going to be a very competitive League. For this reason and I admit I was all for legal action I now feel we should only persue this if following reconstruction we find ourselves in League 1. If we are in the Championship we should focus all our resources and f**k the SPFL by winning promotion to the SPL! It occurs to me winning the Championship would also show two fingers to the likes of Dundee and all the other Yes voters! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle88 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Time for everyone who supports Thistle to reappear IMO.

Watch and see Colt teams being mentioned I think your pal's winding you up. Honestly, I reckon I've been about as reasonable as you could be about this stuff. To the point that it's probably annoyed some people. I accept (but don't like) that we have a structure where clubs are getting to decide on this. I accept that they will vote to suit themselves. I accept that finishing the season was going to be difficult and therefore shutting it down and relegating us was always a possibility. I could have accepted that on the basis that it had been voted for. I didn't go for any of the talk of corruption, or recriminations. However the Dundee situation was immediately dodgy. What you are suggesting takes it to another level, where the leagues are being manipulated specifically in order to relegate Thistle. That's beyond the pale. But we'll see Edited April 15, 2020 by allyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk appear to be backing down https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52304190 perhaps further evidence that Norgethistle is correct. If we are the only ones to be relegated as a by product of this proposal the club has to puruse the legal route and if that fails ask the supporters clubs to not put on buses for away games. We need to make a stand if we are uniquely disadvantaged. Is joining the English pyramid at the bottom rung a better option than being in the bottom run of the SPFL?
