The SRU have stated that under current rules they could not have more than 5-6k fans at an event and that level of attendees is not economically viable.

They ain’t trying to punt season tickets though are they ,a few autumn internationals is all they have this year ,taigs are looking for 500 of thousands for something they can’t watch

So that will be 10 v 5000 from the bheaats no doubts ..Hearts and Gers not included 

Fuck giving any them anything tbh, Cove were flinging money at league 2 last season - release 1 or 2 high earners, Dundee utd have shankland - sell him, Raith Rovers are a full time club - go part-time.

Problems solved.

Each home game for Peado Fc will be at least 1m at the gate ,they are desperate to try and get as many in as soon as possible ,

Luckily our fans have backed the club knowing they won’t be seeing many games anytime soon

I hope Rangers donate 5k to the legal costs, I wouldn't want us to be singled out for any bad press....but our 5k should go to Hearts & Thistles legal fund

You just know if we didn't, celtic would donate 10k.

These clubs shouldn’t be greetin and begging ,they were warned there was problems with the vote they benefited from ,they were warned that clubs took legal action plus they were given a gift they were not expecting that would cover the costs of their legal defence 

fuck them

£5k each? Hope the board send each of them a picture of Park giving the middle finger saying "Go Fuck Yourselves, Regards...." in our fancy new font.

Am I right in thinking there are 2 LL’s in bollocks sounds like a good reply.

Emergency plans to deal with a second wave of Covid-19 look set to fail.

Scottish football is facing up to the nightmare scenario of a coronavirus crisis re-run next season as clubs look set to vote down emergency plans to cope with a second wave of the pandemic.

SPFL chief Neil Doncaster has proposed changing the rule book to give the board special executive powers tin the event that another nationwide Covid-19 outbreak forces the game in this country back into lockdown.

If passed, the resolution would empower Doncaster and the rest of the board to decide if and when the new campaign would have to be brought to an end - and avoid the voting farce which triggered the ongoing civil war which has ripped through the game ever since the notorious Good Friday disagreement.

But Record Sport understands the numbers are stacking up against the proposal - with a number of top flight clubs already voicing strong opposition during a recent meeting of all 12 Premiership clubs.

The league’s top brass are desperate not to expose the entire game to another toxic row if disaster does strike and the virus surges out of control at some point during the season.

But with celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell set to replace Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson on Doncaster’s revamped board later this month - as his club attempts to secure a historic tenth successive league crown - there are obvious concerns over perception.

All of Scotland’s 42 senior clubs have been set a deadline of midnight on Monday July 20 to respond to the resolution with 75 per cent support required in all four leagues.

But one top flight chief executive told us: “It’s pretty clear from the discussions we’ve had between Premiership clubs that this plan is not going to have enough support to be passed.

“While no-one wants to go through all of this pain again - and clubs realise it would be easier to hand over the power to the board - it seems like the right idea but at entirely the wrong tine.

“In some quarters there’s an obvious distrust of the SPFL board because of everything that’s gone on over these last few months. While many clubs would rather not have to contemplate another vote to end the season, they are clearly struggling with the idea of empowering the SPFL board to take that decision for them.

“When you add into the mix the fact that celtic are going for 10 In A Row and Peter Lawwell will most probably be voted onto a new look SPFL board, the potential problems are obvious

“If we are forced by the pandemic back into another worst case scenario in the new campaign it could make last season’s crisis look like a walk in the park!”

But sources on Hampden’s sixth floor insisted last night that have not given up hope of getting the numbers required ahead of this month’s AGM.

One said: “We are aware that a number of clubs have voiced concerns and that’s probably understandable given the levels of tension over the last three months, But most clubs do seem to see the sense in taking action now to prevent it all playing out again the same way next season.

“It’s up to the clubs decide what they want and right now we still think it’ll be touch and go when it goes to the vote.”

We better beat Aberdeen on the 1st because if we don't and the tarriers beat Hamilton on the Sunday by a big margin and then hhe league gets closed on the Monday after one game the SPFL board would probably award them the league on a PPG basis.

Anybody else think the scum are having money troubles? Furloughed staff, can't afford to keep a back-up goalie, no transfers yet and now desperate to fill their stadium by putting pressure on the gov't.

Whether the media are willing to write about it or not, the paedophile cases are looming large over them. They are going to be hit for millions.

I’ll be really disappointed if Rangers contribute to this.  D Utd new manager in the paper today saying he’s been told he can buy new players... so they can pay their own legal bills

I think it extremely doubtful Rangers would donate £5K. We gave them the chance and all of these 3 clubs rejected it. You made your bed........

If they get the go-ahead for this tester game which is where they unfurl the flag we had better, and I mean better have fans in at our first home game.  The whole set-up faces one club. 

 

We will not be found wanting...

Regardless mate it won't be far away now. Unless something crazy happens with covid phase 4 in 3 weeks is when concerts etc can return going by the adverts on the telly

They had put back the season ticket deadline twice now, 30th June then 7th July... the 17,000 or so on that waiting list must be getting impatient🙄...

Was their compensation for their new manager also not in the region of £100,000 (reportedly)...
