Only 2 weeks away and hopefully everything sorted out and get back to football. Long past boring now.

Unfortunately not ath.

In 2 weeks they make a decision as to whether Rangers have a case or not. If they do then the process could well take over a year and cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

This evidence better be good

I’ve followed this thread with great interest

Looks like there’s an EGM after all

Where’s the U guy who said they didn’t want an EGM

Cowdenbeath average attendance 350 from a town population of 14,000 or 2.5%. From what I gather the weekly stock car racing gets 4 figures? Ground is a dump and the 'experience' is pash with the gravel track round it. Valuable community asset?

Same pattern reproduced across many clubs.

I don't know what the answer is? Maybe the community could put their hands in their pockets for a decent stadium which they might be tempted to visit? Or nah, I'll just go tae ra Bingo, ken.?

By definition they must survive on a thread. It cannot be healthy when the only hope on the horizon is a cup draw against the 2? Even then the money is soon sucked up by remedial repairs and the ground remains a dump.

That is one particular dump of a ground
I think only twice had the joy of experiencing it
Most recent a 0-0 draw in the rain
Hearts took I think
8 off them the week before

A natural cull will no doubt occur

At 2.5 % of the community Is probably similar to the country as a whole if 175,000 turn up in total of a weekend

My maths might be out a touch and it would assume Rangers and Celtic were both at home

Happening troops not been on for a while as I have to work even during this. Still have a read now and again tho

Seems an uphill struggle if it is not convincing?

- clubs not convinced
- clubs just wanting to move on & avoid uncertainty
- clubs that want to avoid the cost
- clubs worried about the consequences of their vote
- clubs that don't like the inevitable coercion
- clubs that have a pact to vote one way

Just as an aside, Celtic planned to tour Austria / Switzerland again pre-season. That will probably be curtailed now? Not sure the border with England will be open or indeed if they will be playing their leagues out. So, any lucrative warm up games will probably need to be local?

Been caught up in the massive Virgin outage since late afternoon

Good to hear from you JB. Same old Same old.

They keep telling us we're the best supported nation in Europe, Duke. Not sure how they count it and maybe all those wee 'senior' clubs add up?

You too mate. Been havin a read while I wait for hottub to get up to temp. Many vodkas down many to go. Was hope your well

This is where I see it falling apart. I can’t see them getting the percentages to get this all encompassing inquiry and the sackings and suspensions they demand unless it really is as damning as they seem to suggest.

Clubs just don’t need more strife. They’ve more than enough to worry about right now and for the foreseeable.

And Rangers have confirmed that everyone will see what this evidence is long before the 12th so we can look forward to that.

I just took an average Saturday 21 games but have Rangers and Celtic both at home

Interesting numbers don’t have the inclination to study but Hibs average over 17,000 really sounds high
I’m sure it’s correct though ???

Good to see Ishy back. Must make his acquaintance again at some point 🤥🤥

See if it’s just the fact Dundee sent their vote to a spam folder and that it was missed then they announced the results before Dundee were sorted 🤣🤣
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’ll be around the leaking of results and phone calls to clubs telling them that their vote mattered/didn’t matter.

Maybe more. Can’t wait to see now

Hibs attendance at 17k average is near double 4 years ago and their highest since 1956

Remarkable

Yes very well done Hibs...can't say that I had noticed a marked improvement in their attendances, but if the figures are from the SPFL then nobody can possibly think anything otherwise.

I reckon it will be a waste of time and money same with the reconstruction stuff nothing will come of any of it, in the end Rangers will be able to claim to be even more hard done by, entrenched and in their eyes bastions of justice which their knuckledraggers will lap up, might be their hoped for outcome 🤣
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And if that is the case then it will provide your knuckledraggers with plenty of new ammunition
