irish_ranger 5 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Derry city moved leagues in the 1980s to the league of ireland. So a precedent has (kinda) been set. Although the move was more for political reasons. It is possible to move if the governing thinks there is due cause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray 105 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Qf course we can apply, they can then tell us to fuck off quoting uefa rules which everyone seems to quote to us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB 599 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 source or shutup.Earlier this year president of the FA stated that they would not entertain an application from a Scottish Club out of respect for the SFA. And think about it for a second, if Rangers were allowed to compete in the EFL, it would be anarchy across various football associations.

BeautifulSeas 10 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The players, chairmen, board members & fans all sit in anticipation of League & FA cup draws, hoping to catch a big team like Arsenal or Manchester United. Why? Because the full house they get in the stadium, plus the TV rights, plus the sponsors they will attract even for the 1 game, plus merchadise they can sell, will give them by far the biggest pay day of the year (or had in years).The TV rights are the big thing and they would not get that for a 3rd division game. Also I suspect that Torquay United (for example) would not sell out just because we were playing them. We are not as big down there. Hell, it doesn't even sell out at most SPL games where we are a powerhouse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby 41 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I think now that we are going down the new co route, and out of Europe for 3 years, it would be stupid not to at least try to get in.This is the once in a generation opportunity, if it don't work so be it, but at least try.10 years from now we could be mixing it with Europe's best in terms of talent and income!

Jeff crap in the head 120 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 As far as I am aware the SPL / SFA wrote to the FA essentially saying not to entertain the idea out of respect for a fellow FA.Essentially they are trying to screw us whilst limiting our lifelines. Vindictive is an understatement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear on the bus 3 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Should we move to England? YES! obviously, we dont get a fair deal in Scotland- been that way for years. I'd much rather see us down there without the bias and the parochial shite we put up with in Scotland. The English would love to have us: our loyalty to the crown would be an inspiration for many other supporters. And we bring a lot to the table: we are one of the biggest clubs in the world.HOWEVER, we should stand firm on where we belong: at the top! I honestly worry when I think about the prospect of mixing with the like of Torquay United. FFS how many fans do they have apart from the Major Our place is in the Premiership not League 2, and the talk of going in to the Conference, or even lower??? . We have bigger fish to fry!
