dust ourselves down and get on with it. no point crying over something we cannot change. it will still take the same amount of time to get back to the top league.

I'm surprised you're surprised GA.

 

Obviously didn't put the sarcasm across enough.

 

They can't possibly try and push this through for next season there is no where near enough time to get it implemented.

I'm pretty sure there is enough in the RFFF kitty to start another lawsuit against them, they've moved the goalposts. I'm also pretty sure they couldnt afford a legal fight.

 

So if the SFL clubs agree to this then whats the point in the remainder of the season .....................

 

Talk about a carve up.

The fact that Longmuir and that great "bluenose" Ballantyne are in the SFL vanguard fills me with nothing but dread. Quislings.

All the more reason to push for the right that when winning a lower tier league it ensures promotion to a higher division.

Surprise surprise. Bunch of wankers. Ignored the views of the PAYING masses, you know us who pay to watch the game. Most people wanted a different set up, but hey clearly those with a vote have shown they are in it for themselves only.

we are still at the same stage. we were dead against any favours or fast tracking. we just need to get on with it. if that means no promotion then thats the way it is. we will be back in the spl in the same space of time.

Motherwell statement

 

Today both Leeann Dempster and Derek Weir attended a Scottish Premier League (SPL) General meeting where the main agenda item was League Reconstruction and the future of the professional game in Scotland.

The clubs were presented with more details and were able to debate and discuss the options as they stand.

It was agreed by all clubs that that the SPL Executive has the authority take discussions to the next level with our colleagues in the Scottish Football League (SFL) who are meeting separately on Thursday.

There was no formal vote today however as a club, we indicated our support to the SPL Executive to progress discussions with the SFL.

It is now our intention to share what we heard today with our supporters so we can have the same discussion and outline why it is our view this is the best option for the game at this time.

Today we will contact the board directors of the ‘Well Society with a view to arranging a members meeting for an evening this week, specifically on the topic of league reconstruction, so we can share with our fellow ‘Well Society members what we have been presented with to date.

For all Doncaster's blather, I can't see why the league restructuring has to be in place for next season.

 

A vote could just as easily be taken on what structure the leagues will move to for the 2014/15 season rather than at the end of the one we're halfway through. That still creates certainty for a TV deal.

 

And there's nothing to say that the merging of the SPL and SFL couldn't take place for next season, while the rejigging of the divisions was held off for a while. It doesn't all have to happen at once.
