The Dude 20,027 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 2 minutes ago, VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS said: We know this already, the question was how do they differ from the Premiership? If they can play on, why can't we? By not having a winter break. All the Premiership clubs are voting on is moving the date of the winter break. There's an already existing window where the Premiership sides have no fixtures scheduled. That isn't the same for Championship sides and increases the number of games that would need rearranged. For many of the clubs in L2, a limit of 500 fans will have no impact at all on their attendances which in turn won't impact their finances.

Bad Robot 21,513 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 So they want to bring the break forward which means they want to return right in the middle of the peak. They wanted the points tonight as they think the whole season might be up in the air https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-59729194 geneva_ger, BlueKnight87, Negri's lovechild and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoplandRoad83 3,613 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Ach well, if we don't get back in the stadium for a while at least we left on a high note: watching us huff and puff our way to a 1-0 against Dundee Utd, watching Hagi rabona it straight out the park for a laugh.

I couldn't give a fuck about that situation at this moment in time, it's the notion that we may have to play these games with players away whilst there injury woes could well be alleviating....that doesn't sit right with me.....especially if Helander isn't ready by then....Goldson could be suspended and we could be forced to play Simpson & King....all ifs and buts but at this current time we don't have any issues Negri's lovechild, BlueKnight87 and HG5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is changing come January 17th. We will not go to full stadiums, then again some clubs will be back at almost full strength. If this is pulled and St Mirren are forced to play tonight and Sunday it's a disgrace It will be pulled I reckon and it is a disgrace but no one will bat an eyelid, just look at the Dundee vote fiasco.
