Gribz

It would be great to be an away fan up there next season. But if they draw Rangers in the cup you can expect the stand to be fully opened. I hope we do another boycott next season also.

They are desperate and needed that vote to go through. There was no way they could just accept the vote, they need a deal to keep some clubs and the league afloat. I dont know why but I can just see them pulling something out of the hat. We need to put all our internal issues aside and not let them live of a TV deal which is funded by Rangers.

Swansea have been a breathe of fresh air in the premier league, unlike a Stoke or Wolves they dont play ugly football or unlike Hull and Blackpool they dont drop like a stone. Im not so sure Cardiff will be the same. Both these teams have crowds of around 23000 per week and sell out plus Swansea are to increase the size of their ground from next season to 34000, just shows if it was Rangers and Celtic the potential would be massive and we'd need a 70000 seater stadium.

This is the power of the media, selling nonsense. Fans wont boycott, any comments I have read from other fans of SPL teams have been saying well done to County and St Mirren. The fans didnt want it! County and St Mirren were spot on to vote they way they wanted, since when do they have to choose to benefit other clubs who have been poorly managed. SPL2 would currently be no different to the current system, it would be in name only. There would be no finance to back it. Yet it would give the SPL body more clubs to have a bigger say but the SFL have the 'only show in town' which is where any deal lies with.

I cant work out why chairmen in the SPL and Div1 would feel betrayed, it is a simple choice of opinion and just because others dont agree with their opinion they are acting selfish. Since when should St Mirren vote for what benefits Aberdeen? The SFL meeting will be interesting this week to see if anyone throws the toys out of the pram. But they should be looking to the SPL for blame who didnt go with fans wishes and create a bigger top division which means some of those clubs would have got promotion. It seesm its all about cash for them also even if it means being in the 2nd tier. The SFL have a good chance to tidy up their 3 divisions and turn it into 2 leagues and open it up to regional divisions below that. Once the SPL is ready (and they will due to no TV deal) the top division will have to merge into the system SFL have laid out.

I honestly thought Ross County would have been persuaded and pressurised into voting for it, well done them for not giving in. Them and St Mirren obviously the ones with common sense. This set up was absolute garbage and only on the table as a lifeline to the SPL clubs in need of it. The fact they were going to push this through for a season which starts in 3 months shows how desperate they are. There is a system with 18 or 16 in the top flight with at least 2 auto relegation places and play offs for a 3rd of 4th spot which would make games far more meaningful. Talk about karma biting back! But I still think they have plan B in an SPL 2 and will try sneak some Div 1 clubs into this set up. SFL should now set up its own TV deal and go ahead with its own reconstruction.

The same away fans who dont want this system? Chris Main must be Doncasters main man. Even if they did get a backlash and no away fans, 34 people not turning up isnt much to worry about

Why is it taking so long. Blackmailing. Away to make myself some chicken fajitas, poor a cold beer and shout at the monkeys. When I come back I'll see the result

Great win for Sunderland. Actually think Di Canio will keep them up. It is Stoke who is in free fall. QPR and Reading have gone. Villa and Stokes fate lies with Wigan, if Wigan win games they will stay up and it will be 1 from the other 2 to go down. But I think Wigan will go this season. Id like to see Villa and Stoke go, but more so Stoke, they are just a nuisance. Arsenal flying but made hard work of the Norwich game. Their cup final is Everton tomorrow. Win that and Id say they will be in the champions league. They have 6 games left with the first 5 in London so they should win most. Would like to see everton take 4th but think chelsea will be too strong. The Championship is crazy open. From 10th down could go. Wolves in bad position and id like to see blackburn go also.

Blondy would get herself a night out with the Gribz

Not just Rangers. What if Queens Park dont get promoted via a play off (if they win). It is a farce

How they can even justify it to start next season is another farce. The simple answer is 16 team top league with 3 up 3 down, that gives much more meaning to games.

How long does it take to say yes or no? Or are they holding the Ross County chairman up against the wall

Jeez an Aberdeen fan has common sense

I get that Ian, cheers.

Id still want a no also. Nothing changes in a 12 team league except the crazy split starts earlier. A 16 or 18 team leage has to be given a go.

Its amazing how close yet how far they can be! Make it 18-12-12 and everyone goes for it!!

What time is the vote today?

A game of 2 halves then! This game should have been at Tynecastle though, 22410 at hampden is a joke.

What a disgrace. So this means he doesnt have a mind for himself!! Stick to your guns County!!! We should be emailing / faxing / calling their ground telling them to vote how THEY want.

Holy shit what a mess. The OP makes things a bit clearer as to how Green was trying to shaft Whyte but thats it.

No way should he give the game a miss. That shows weakness and something to hide.

Hope Ross County stick to their guns but the fact they have went public gives the SPL all weekend to throw its threats and blackmail at them. They should have kept it hush and turned up on Monday and voted no along with St Mirren. Then made their vote public afterwards.

Welcome back Cal. You are right, the non OF clubs have complained about this system for years as it meant Rangers and Celtic can pretty much control things with how they vote, now when it suits the rest they are pressing ahead with pressure on Ross County and St Mirren

Should they be allowed a vote on Monday?
