Have you a source for this AJ?

Interesting to see what will happen if the dates clubs give are all over the place.  How long will they give them?  

Also interested to see if clubs who go into mothballs will bid/be allowed to bid for the Anderson money.

 

It’s on BBC website @a f kincaid

This is all hypothetical. So if 5 from current league 1 say they can - Thistle, Falkirk and say for arguments sake Cove, Peterhead and Montrose along with 5 from league 2 - Queens Park and say Elgin, Edinburgh, Annan and Stenny giving a very convenient league of 10 and we play for 20/21 with Thistle top, Queens Park 2nd etc Cove 9th, Montrose 10th. So in any normal world(?) Thistle  go up, Queens Park in play-off final after 3rd/4th teams dealt with, Montrose go down and Cove get a play off shot. Potential for Queens, a league 2 club to play in Championship after 1 season and Cove play......who? Do the 5 in league 1 who can't/won't play all automatically then play in league 2 when they do start again. Or is 20/21 just a pretend league and all back to square 1 for 21/22. What a mess.

I'm sure it would all go to another dodgy SPFL vote - never get passed - all the hypocritical two-bob chairmen who didn't give a flying f*** about sporting integrity before will suddenly be up in arms and staggering about with their collective d**ks in their hands waiting on the knockout blow where we win a huge payout and bankrupt the dirty rotten lot of them!

So, the SPFL are finally getting round to ascertaining the preparedness of virtually half of its member clubs. After wasting weeks with argument and votes. After announcing start dates  for the rest of the clubs. Finally they are arming themselves with all the information needed to make an informed decision on the format for next season.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the forthcoming legal action. One last vote possibly? A final attempt to save their skins?

Sturgeon announced outdoor sports from 29th June so there could conceivably have been time to play out the remaining games and delay start to next season by having it at 27 games 

100%.

The panic induced April vote and the deal on the table was far too convenient for those teams close to relegation but not in the zone, those teams at the top and those who just wanted early  money.

You could argue that it was QotS vote that relegated us, as the vote passed by just one in the Championship.

Dunfermline voted for reconstruction, despite someone on here saying that their 'Thistle hating' chairman voted against. Apparently 5 Championship clubs voted for reconstruction this week (saw it mentioned by Kheredine on Twitter)

Led to believe it went this way...

FOR: Hearts, Pars, Morton, ICT, Arbroath....  AGAINST: Raith, Ayr, Dundee, QoS, Alloa

Think our legal action case is strengthened with a relegation to a League where there is no definitive start date .

The hypocrisy of raith is a joy to behold. Even there own fans are squirming. As for dundee and ayr they are not far behind. At least we know exactly where to target our goodwill in the future.

I thought Dundee was all for reconstruction. Is that not why they changed their vote ?

QoS take the biscuit - handed a 'get out of jail' card to vote to terminate Championship/League 1/2 to save themselves and then vote against Reconstruction.   Thistle would have been getting pelters if our positions had been reversed, especially from our own fans.

I strongly urge everyone to remember the 5 clubs that voted against the reconstruction proposal. Will never get another penny off me.

Queens deserve everything coming their way. Selfish tw*ts

Do you know the other 7 teams that voted FOR?  The 16 clubs are made up of your 5 mentioned, Thistle, Stranraer + I believe Peterhead, Forfar and 7 others . . .

(the 16 are made up of: 3 Premier / 5 Championship / 4 League One / 4 League Two)

I wonder what happened to the  insurance policy that their fans have been wittering on about on P&B since the pandemic arrived?

Seemingly it has went to court. Could take up to 6 weeks to find out if they will get their money. After Brexit the courts probably thought they were going back to their usual run of the mill stuff. Scottish football now keeping them busy.
