I wonder if we will see two rival Scottish Premier Leagues next season? We could see a SPL consistent with the threats made to SFL clubs last week, let’s call it SPL Loyal, with Hibs, KIlmarnock and a few others. They would sit atop a feeder league containing whoever they could attract from the SFL and Sevco, who due to fan power would be excluded from the top division, no matter how few teams that division had.
Meanwhile a rival SPL could setup, let’s call it SPL Solvent, with Celtic, those from the Gang of 10 who realise they are better-off participating in a league which is likely to survive until next May, along with the teams who last season finished near the top Scottish Football league.
SPL Solvent would make no threats to exclude SFL clubs who were due promotion on merit, and would therefore attract the balance of SFL clubs; which is likely to be the overwhelming majority. This league would contain the only club with the ability to underwrite the commitments needed to bring broadcasters and commercial partners on-board. It would also be free of, moral and ethical questions, where clubs are united with their fans on what it means to organise sporting events.
It’s not the worst idea floated in recent weeks.

ElDiegoBhoy,

MWD ,

I’d suggest a £5 a ticket . across the forums/sites/twitter you could/should get 200 entrants.
could you get £1K as an auction bid ?
obv , adjust these figures as you see fit.

The raffle tickets would be sold via justgiving, and gives everybody a change to win.I agree might not maximise the fund,if a rich bhoy wants to bid some funny money, but then that rich bhoy could donate to Oscar as well, as you raffle bhoys :-)

Dr Zhivago won 5 Oscars. Shome Mishtake Shurely?

We bit of investigation shows a signed champs shirt for Vanessa riddle went for £500. I reckon we’d get more than that in a £20 raffle. Although you can’t discount for nutty bids in an auction.

After Italy went down to 10 men it was dashed decent of Spain to bring on Torres to even things up.

TTTT and sannabhoy make a good point, £5 tickets may make more money, I’ll buy 4 for example, but my daughter wouldn’t buy one for £20 she just might at a fiver. Lower price more sales.

Why thank you kind sir.
So does that mean Spain only get to play friendlies for the next 4 years? World champs and Euro champs – assume they don’t have to qualify for the next two tournies?

thanks… I feel so much better now at not being the only one with shocking timing :-)
I’ve long since liked Del Bosque. Think he was shoddilly treated by Madrid some years ago.

Think they’ll cancel those tourney’s until Xavi and Inesta retire
Sorry if I burst anyone’s coupon. Just to even things up.. I just can’t see us winning the Trebble, even with Rangers in the grave.
Get in there big bucks
Icing on the cake. Mata only on for a minute or so makes it four
Why dont we get two signed tops..auction 1 and raffle 1, and see what raises the most? Right whose got a spare signed top?

HT ye were right 4-0 TAL
TTTT
I am sure whether you go auction or raffle the Celtic community will respond in their usual generous manner
Ballotelli was right, there were 4 goals…
4-0 Spain. What odds correct score?
My maw just text me, with the maiden name Antinori, she ain’t happy!!
Torres… I goal, one assist in 15 minutes… who would have thought ?

They had to qualify for this one. Though they did get in the group with Scotland……
Suddenly the ROI result doesn’t look so bad…..hmmm?!

Thing is, for the past 15 minutes there have been cars and mopeds driving round in circles with the horns blazing.
Why don’t they watch the freakin’ game?????
