big tam 5 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 As current rules stand you need to have an HQ and football ground in England or Wales, rule 2.2 of the football conference.So I dare say that would pose a small problem for us?.

Misteral 2,931 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not sure how feasible this would really be but I'm swayed by the thought of a new and difficult challenge as opposed to going back to being involved with the bile that is today's SPL.

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wouldn't reconstruction require new memberships offered and accepted... or declined. I believe it does.Isnt that the reason why the want to emalgimate the Leagues, our membership would be void and Rangers would be offered a new membership.Thats where they would blackmail us AGAIN for our TV media rights.Thats my thinking of all this.Amongsg other reasons.

Larry-AV 51 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Note. Just tried that Link in Post #205, but it came up '404 Not Found'.The Conference National (Blue Square Premier) sits at Level 5, Step 1, in the English football pyramid.Never say never, but I doubt if Rangers joining the Conference will happen. In any event, it is a step down, (from Level 4, SFL Division 3), not up.Skysports - Blue Square Bet Premier chiefs could discuss Rangers joining the divisionI was surprised to see the majority of Posts on here being in favour of this move, but living as I do outwith Scotland, I can only get the mood in Scotland from the internet, specifically, here on RM.Just one warning on this. Be careful what you wish for.For me, the only rightful place for Rangers FC is in the Top Division of the Top League.The structure in England is as follows :Level 1 : The Premier LeagueLevel 2 : Football League ChampionshipLevel 3 : Football League 1Level 4 : Football League 2Level 5, Step 1 : Conference National (Blue Square Premier) - This is the lowest National LeagueLevel 6, Step 2 : Conference North and Conference SouthLevel 7, Step 3 : Northern Premier League, Isthmian League, Southern League - Premier DivisionsLevel 8, Step 4 : Northern Premier League, Isthmian League, Southern League - First DivisionsLevel 9, Step 5 : Regional Leagues' Premier Divisions, e.g. Northern Counties East LeagueLevel 10, Step 6 : Regional Leagues' First Divisions, e.g. Northern Counties East LeagueThere are Levels and Steps below the above, too many to list here !

big tam 5 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thought this might help2.2 All Clubs shall have Grounds and headquarters situated in England or Wales and the General Manager shall send their names and particulars to The FA annually by the date appointed by, and in the format required by, The FA. English Clubs shall be duly affiliated at all times to a recognised County Football Association. Welsh Clubs shall be affiliated to The FA of Wales. Each Club shall notify the General Manager of its affiliation number each year as soon as practicable after it has received same. Each Club shall return to the General Manager a fully completed questionnaire relating to Form “D” required by The FA by the date given in the circular letter accompanying the questionnaire issued by the Competition Secretary.

Nothing personal Rules are more flexible and carry low end consequences. You can set up rules for games, rules for the home, even rules for fighting or being intimate with a partner. Rules are personal in nature, and they are often adjusted as the conditions and circumstances of the home change.Read more: Difference Between Rules and Laws | Difference Between | Rules vs Laws http://www.differencebetween.net/language/difference-between-rules-and-laws/#ixzz2I4ruytTu Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
