STEPPS BOY 73,762 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I knew this would be the clubs proposal but giving teams who kiboshed our Independent Inquiry a helping hand and especially that prick at Brechin sticks in the throat. I’m not sure it’s comparable with Spain as theirs is a completely different way of thinking. Our youngsters would be playing hammer throwers on absolutely shite pitches every week.

That’s what would worry me. Our under 21 youngsters playing against the hammer throwers who already detest us. It would certainly be a welcome to Scottish football.

Killing Scottish football doesn’t benefit Rangers, so it really comes down to whether you prioritise your love of Rangers or your hatred of the other sides.

STEPPS BOY 73,762 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Paying for tickets up front is stupid too. Wednesday night in December up at Elgin - there’s no chance of us having 200 fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s just a (relatively) small financial sweetener for the smaller-budget clubs to accept our proposal than I think it’s pretty clever. I’d agree we won’t be selling those tickets on though. Wouldn’t surprise me if a fair chunk of them went for free/heavily discounted to MyGers members (so for your example, we’ll have fans in Elgin who won’t have ST for obvious reasons but who would fancy the game locally).

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I still think that having our academy play top European sides is a much better idea. However I don't think this will be voted through as the proposal comes from us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 73,762 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Also, this is literally going to be our under 19’s as any player at 19/20 who we have high hopes for should be playing at a higher level than league 1 or whatever it is called. Do we really want players like Leon King getting smashed to fuck by jobbers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I thought you were on about 14 team set up. I.m old enough to remember the 18 team league, far too much deadwood with many more meaningless games, the 10 team set up is far too tight for teams battling against relegation. The 12 team set up is ridiculous and always has been, teams sometimes have 20 home games and only 18 away or vice versa, and playing a team at home or away 3 teams is criminal. The 16 team set up doesn't give enough fixtures, my contention for years has been a 14 team league, with top 6 split. And this has been my preference long before the current crisis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if a promotion chasing side has one of our lads on loan and he has a knock, they’ll likely want him to play through it (risking further injury) because they need him - won’t be that sort of pressure from a Colts manager.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,479 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 As for the bottom 8, imagine one team gets isolated at the bottom, a gretna if you will, another 2 are playoff candidates, that leaves 5 teams post split who are basically playing meaningless games, some will be playing them way before the split, Its a certainty that by middle of February there will be teams who are too shite for the top 6 but too good to go down, imagine all their pay on the day punters trying to work up the appetite to go see a meaningless game against say inverness or dundee united, This will cost clubs a fortune Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our top youngsters were loaned to Championship teams last year. Are our top youngsters going to play at a lesser level just to play for our colts?
