The Scottish Football League today placed an upper limit on which division Sevco can play in next season – their Third. We must now wait on the company providing sufficient information to complete their application to the SFL and for membership of the Scottish FA. Although many Rangers fans want Sevco to join the Third Division, chief exec Charles Green was clearly hoping to start life higher up the food chain.
The overwhelming nature of this verdict indicates the solidarity between clubs and fans, throughout the divisions, on how our sport is governed. This is a good thing but it leaves one burning question on the table:
Is the Scottish Premier League insolvent?
Last week SPL chief exec Neil Doncaster told SFL clubs that the Premier League would be unable to meet its contractual obligations if they did not vote Sevco into the First Division. Unless this was a shameless lie designed to bully clubs into giving Doncaster what he wanted, the Scottish Premier League Ltd should seek to appoint an administrator without delay.
You can ignore comments about league reconstruction at some unspecified point in the future, Doncaster told us last year that “those who want 16 teams in the top flight are deluding themselves.”
The Scottish Football League does not need the SPL, or its money, to continue to thrive as a community-based sporting entity. They will flourish. What happens to the SPL remains to be seen.
As we have observed once or twice before, M. Platini, where are you? We need the football world to assist with the survival of the game in one of its historic heartlands.

Newco in Division 3 imo will not be able to pay there players what they were earning in the SPL unless there is some very prudent management they run the risk of going into liquidation again.They apparently have 13 players at the moment but there is bound to be one or two tonight considering there future.I also think if Regan and Doncaster try to overule todays decision they will be finished with Scottish football.H.H.

It just got a whole lot colder…
Can a knowledgable poster advise how many players newco now have, and whether they are permitted to register more, given that they get a SFA registration? Will they be able to form a squad to play D3 fixtures in three weeks?

Do you think Wiggy is intelligent enough to understand that a couple of callers just ripped him a new one? What a walloper!
peterheed ticket prices
no too shabby

Gate admission will also remain the same this season. Adult entry is £12.00, while concessions (12-16year olds, seniors (65+), students and unemployed) enter for £6.00. Please be aware the turnstile operators may ask for proof of concession on arrival.
Watp=we’re away to Peterhead.

Gerry McCulloch came away with a syder ironically on Snyde earlier.
Hun: They’re still the same Ranjurs. You cannae re-write history. For example you cannae just say The Battle of Banockburn didnae happen.
Wiggy: Agrees.
Gerry Bhoy: But if there was another Battle of Banockburn tomorrow it wouldn’t be the same battle would it ?
Silence.

And yet, for all their undoubted talents, we are to believe that they were completely unaware of the strokes being pulled by the SFA and the SPL to throw the huns a lifeline, and had no influence over either organisation’s behaviour.
Mmmm.

oh ahye…………..

We’re supposed to meet up next Wednesday.Remember we were supposed to meet up with Snake Plissken in Stirling last year but something got in the way of that.I’m up for meeting SP anywhere in the Central belt,I’m sure there will be a few more that will take up the offer. Make arrangements.
When can we expect an abject apology from Ernie….on behalf of his patriotic comrades….for the disgraceful article on Rangers and Scottish Football which appeared in yesterday’s edition of the Pravda ?
DORIN GOIAN has personally assured Ally McCoist and Charles Green that he will stick it out with Rangers, according to his agent.

Breaking | Dorin Goian says he won’t play in Division 3 with #Rangers: “There’s no way I’m playing that low, I have to find a solution”
From Karl Marx (via Christopher Hitchins).
“There is something in human history like retribution; and it is a rule of historical retribution that its instrument be forged not by the offended, but by the offender himself”.
The strange thing about all this is that if they hadn’t taken the SFA to court (so showing that they didn’t give a damn about the Scottish position within FIFA), hadn’t had the sense of superiority and entitlement that they have shown over the last few months, and if the SPL had not tried to put pressure on everyone, then they would probably not have been in this situation. 6 months ago I would have said that while few liked Rangers, very few would have been willing to put themselves out financially to keep Rangers out. It’s as Mr Marx said.
Any CQN’ers going to the Celtic convention in Blackpool? Date is Glasgow Sept weekend, Fri to Sun
Cqn meet ?
BT and Oldtim67
I will have 8 Slovaks with me but sadly noe are really hot girls (as far as I know).
I will be in Glasgow on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday and Wednesday I’m in Stirling.
Just get in touch and we’ll sort it.

some people are never happy….they are deid, their zombie resurrection form have been voted into division 3 at best, and we still have people who think it’s all a plan
there is no chance of them playing above division 3 next season
Had to laugh some hun on the radio claiming that they will have full stadium all next season. Fat chance!
Vmhan,
I’ll be down that weekend, on a stag weekend tho.
Sleekit Sally….manager of ‘diddy’ club Sevco 5088,ex-manager of dead club (rfc),useless beyond belief,worst manager the huns could get…..yeah,stay with them and we can watch you getting smashed to bits by teams from tiny hamlets on grounds from the 19th. Century.

Top off the last bottle then bed for me but I can’t help feeling there is a wee cloud over the blog, not enough joy.
After years, decades even, of being told you were delusional, paranoid, stupid, you, we, me, I, have been vindicated, not as victims, they can shaft that, I’d settle for just being right.
Your establishment cheated us.
Your referees cheated us.
Your courts cheated us.
You labelled us fundamentalists.
You tried to put us out of the game. Remember? And you wonder why we gloat, not hate, gloat.
But whether they like it or not, the people of Scotland, from the terracings’ to the boardrooms, from the borders to the Shetlands, from the Islands to Norway, the people of Scotland voted with us as ONE
Bit jealous of THEM tonight.
Should plan to have them in Division Three stick, and it might not, THEY will have the opportunity to win three league titles that we won’t.
Kit
don’t forget its only 7.15pm over on Scotland, place will be bouncing later I’d imagine..
glad you got a chance to speak to oldtim..
quote from “see lo” earlier…
“the people who brought shame on this great club are no longer part of it”
wrong !
The good thing about all of this, and it is amazing really, despite the MSM in all its forms pushing for the best outcomes at every turn for the huns, is that the whole of Scottish football have told the huns/sevco exactly how they feel about them and they are now reaping what they have sowed for many years.
I am sure Scotland will recover well after all of the corruptors have been removed from the positions of power in the Scottish game. They need to be replaced with men like Turnbull Hutton and men of his ilk and this needs to happen ASAP.
Big Mike.
Of course they’ll have full stadiums next season some of these grounds only hold 450 people.There’s plans already to beam back the Annan game to Ibrox.
