Ricky_ 893 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Not sure if this has been discussed before, but it's being reported by the BBC that to gain entry to the SFL, it will be yet another vote, this time between the 30 SFL clubs from the 3 divisions. Which division we will be applying to is still unclear.Chris McLaughlin @BBCchrismclaugSo, SFL board meeting today to discuss #Rangers. 75% of the 30 clubs must vote in favour to let them in. Still unclear which division.Should this even be a vote? The alternative to Rangers would be the likes of Spartans & Cove Rangers, who i imagine have a miniscule fan base and a "stadium" unfit for professional football.Should we be worried that 8 of the 30 chairmen are Rangers hating bigots aswell?Is the move to join the SPL with SFL a move in order to try and bolster Rangers inclusion & perhaps change the rules. If it merges before a vote takes place, does it mean it's a vote between the 41 clubs instead of the 30? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offminorthreat 1,465 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 For those of us less au fait with the lower depths of the SFL, who are the 8 clubs run by taigs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky_ 893 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 For those of us less au fait with the lower depths of the SFL, who are the 8 clubs run by taigs?sorry i wasn't stating that there was, i was merely putting the question out there that all thats needed to block entry to the SFL would be 8 Rangers haters amongst the 30 lower league clubs.Raith Rovers might be 1 for a start after the Transfer Embargo & Secret Court debacle.

scottyc06 6,916 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 This whole voting thing, should it not only be whether we get into the 1st division that there is a vote, because surely anybody could apply to join at the bottom of the 3rd division as there would be a vacant space, therefor it would just be the usual board that would decide upon our entry! No? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian 4,281 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 There is no way they will find 8 clubs to block us.There would be at best one or two clubs per div that would take a stand through hatred or being influenced by the dark side.The rest struggle to survive and will only see the massive paydays they will get from it.The tims and SPL teams have no boycott threat in the SFL, so it's a no brainer for the SFL clubs.Though I desperately hope it's div3 and not div1.

Truth be told, i'm still astonished the likes of Aberdeen, who are borderline insolvent, would risk their own club going into adminsitration jut to score 1 over us. (Afterall, in the long term, we will always have the better future than that horrible hateful no mark club).so i can't agree with you there, im taking nothing for granted now given how this whole saga has panned out.

Gaz92 966 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well, the thing you've got to look at is, if we're going to the First Division, what motivation do the Second and Third Division chairmen have to vote us in?Should we be worried about this vote? We all said there was no way we wouldn't be in the SPL and look how that turned out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally62 393 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So if we don't get the vote for the SFL, can we then apply to the English leagues? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LochgellyBear 18 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 We shouldn't accept first division.Is that the rangers way,we jump over all the teams in bottom two divisions and go into div 1 to suit the spl clubs?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSifter 181 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 In the interests of sporting integrity, why would we or anyone else possibly expect us to parachute into Division 1?I'm still not clear what the actual sporting reason is for us being expunged from the SPL.

Have they broken the law?i doubt theyve broken the law, or you could say that about every bad decision in hindsight. They would just argue they were threatened by their own fans not to show up with many saying they would be done with the club otherwise.

The only reason there is going to be a vote is the diddies where worried about losing our cash generating ability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
