punkchick022 5 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Were no wanted up here anymore and I don't want us to be here I say we apply for England if there was ever a time to do it this is it.I've said that for ages. England would provide us with the platform to make the next step up. There was an issue before about Scottish Teams not playing in England, however theres nothing to stop us buying a wee diddy English team and then changing the name. We'd probably have to play all our games in England, but it would be better than staying in Scotland where we are obviously not welcome.

MisterC 12,272 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Did the SFL chief exec or someone similar not come out and say they would welcome an application? I'm not sure if they even ask the club's to vote, is it not just the board? The SPL board bottled the responsibilty and passed it on to the Club's a few month ago..Jim Ballantyne is the man to whom you refer and he is no enemy of Rangers from what I understand.

Gers1690 194 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I imagine if Rangers were kicked out of the SPL, then an SFL team would replace them - hence creating a spot in the SFL anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Manticore* 1,893 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I dont want to rock the boat, but they have no reason to let us straight in. Theres other teams ahead of us in the queue.What nonsense. I don't know how they will vote but to suggest there is no reason to accept us is rubbish.Rubbish that I do not believe comes from a Rangers fan....

But anything that brought excitement and freshness to the SFL would be something I’m interested in.“It would be the same process, given any set of circumstances. When Annan were welcomed in the process took a couple of months during the close season. In the past we’ve had to assess the likes of Annan, Cove and Preston on the basis of ground criteria, facilities and financial stability.“So checks have to be done, which would obviously be a bit different if Rangers were involved.“However, at the moment there is no vacancy in the SFL.

DietofWorms 2,063 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Well they certainly found room for Livingston and Gretna to drop down....so I'm guessing that we'd be accomodated. No offense to Spartans or Annan etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to Spartans or Annan etc.Yes, the space comes from an SFL team being promoted to the SPL, or from Dunfermline not being relegated. Rangers would apply to join. Some other teams would apply to join. The SFL decides which team is the best out of the applicants. I can see no reason why that wouldn't be Rangers.
