craig 5,199 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Interesting that the majority of Conference teams, from that poll, have more desire to accept Rangers into their ranks that the top league in Scotland do..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

amms 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm really quite surprised at those results. Pleasantly surprised I'd add. I thought they'd be a lot of opposition from clubs who might not fancy a large, well supported, geographically distant competitor. It really does change the complexion of things doesn't it. The FIFA thing is still a huge stumbling block but it moves things on a step or two in some people's minds. I think SPL clubs will be secretly terrified by this development. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were other clubs contacting the show on air to say it was a 'Yes' from them, but I didn't catch who as I was just getting into the car. They were all talking about Swansea, Cardiff, Wrexham and Berwick as precedents with regard to the FIFA stumbling block, and the Belgian\Dutch cross border ladies league. This is the first one that definitely has legs, and was delivered straight from the conference chairman who voiced his approval. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardyGuts 6 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Well now we need to get the dialogue going with FIFA if it's not started already. Nothing wrong with having options at our disposal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If we did go into this 'Blue Square League' how many years would it take to reach the EPL if we won promotion every season? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real PapaBear 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If we did go into this 'Blue Square League' how many years would it take to reach the EPL if we won promotion every season? it would be four seasons *if* we won promotion every season - but to be honest, I reckon we'd be lucky to get out of the Championship within two seasons, far less one. Even so, if we could have the prospect of playing Arsenal, ManUtd and Newcastle after even 6 years, I reckon 90% of us would jump at it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUDE 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I've been against this initially but the more I think about this move, the more I fancy it. Quite tempting actually. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Very exciting possibility. I would love to leave Scotland behind. I would also rather celtic were not invited either. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
