The sooner the rest of the teams grow a set and resign en masse the better. Leave the bigots to play each other 38 times a season 

Absolutely zero chance unless fans demand it

Bookmarked

£10 bet it isn't?

If it isn't voted through £10 to an NHS charity 

[Tyzo_1903]

If approved, it'll nae doubt begin the discussions AGAIN of them moving to another league and leaving their "colts" in Scotland.

Typical arsehole weegie behaviour wanting the everything from both worlds, kind of like liquidating your club and starting a fresh new one but also saying it's the same club as before.

[Big Hat Logan]

If people stop going it won’t make any difference. They will be able to get a slightly less embarrassing tv deal now that there’s “competition” for the league and that will be used as a justification that things are better than ever in Scottish football.

Of course it will. 

Yep. 

The clubs listened in 2012 and will need to be made to be listened to again should it come to it with the colt teams.

That's the only thing they understand a game built on greed and self interest is fed by the fans being stupid enough to keep pumping in the money time after time

Seems the Dutch and Belgian leagues may be getting closer to merging.  If this happens then expect to see significant pressure from the arse cheeks to move down south.  

England doesn’t want them. Could you imagine the backlash if somehow one of Septic or Sevco won the English premier league. The English would go wild, add in the financial side of things where two English teams ain’t in EPL with the big money because of two Scottish team parachute in it’s a non starter. 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Always said their most likely route in (ie with the approval of the other clubs) is if they themselves are losing 2 or 4 of their own big ticket teams to some euro structure themselves.

If it goes through the hardcore supporters will still go to watch their own clubs. If Scott brown became manager of Aberdeen you’d still get at least 8k showing up minimum. It wouldn’t make any difference in the grand scale, it wouldn’t change anything enough for the authorities to do a u-turn on the colt teams.

[1903Fitba]

Whatever causes the most pain and suffering to both sets of fans is what I’d vote for. 
 

Vermin that should be booted on sight.

Hardcore fans will turn up regardless. If the 40k that turned up at Celtic park bothered to get involved then it might make a difference.

In these times a thousand informing the club they won't be renewing season tickets and DNA would probably be enough.

[Hoofball]

If the EPL lost teams to a European super league those two delusional weegie fuck teams would be demanding entry into that league and not the EPL.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Oh absolutely, entitled fucks as they are.  Said all along I wish for the day a UEFA spokesman came out and said OK we’ve got a spot now which of you wants it?

I meant more in terms of a receptive audience which they’ll need to make the initial move.

What a bizarre shithole Scotland is.

People happy to be ruled by corrupt,  mutant, warmongering scum from another country.

Then to tolerate their primary sport being a closed shop for the sole benefit of 2 football clubs formed as a direct consequence of aforementioned colonial captivity.

Jesus wept.

I think you will find that the problem is that Scotland is a small, inward looking, bigoted, corrupt country. Run by a central belt cabal riven with nepotism. So obviously independence is the answer (not).

You think Aberdeen would vote for old firm colt teams if they stood to lose 500k per year? 

 

No chance

And how would they know they would lose 500k a year? You think a thousand fans could be arsed writing to the club to say they don’t like it?

It’ll be voted through.

The same way as the clubs had to sit up and take notice in 2012? 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Does anyone know yet what the voting structure is for this vote?  Does it still need 75% of each league including our own?

Hope so as that would be the easiest way of blocking it 

[Fridge]

Who does this actually benefit other than the Scum?

Bigger attendances for two home games a season and potentially more tv money? Would the teams in the third division really want the scum turning up twice a year and ruining what I assume is normally a family day out to watch your local team.

Probably take away all the enjoyment of even competition, can’t exactly celebrate finishing third and getting promoted as a trophy.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

I’d have thought it would count as a major restructure and hence need the approval of the four leagues (I think it’s 3 votes, Premiership, Championship and L1&2).

But as stated at length.  I don’t trust the cunts an inch.

Classic arse cheek conundrum.  They crash and burn in which case it won’t get the interest they need (ignoring for now the underwriting bribe).

Its close so it attracts the worst elements you describe.

Or they dominate (and said dominance is tolerated by the diddy clubs to calm down the cheek fans - see 2012-14 for details) but that then fucks up the potential crowds for the rest of the clubs and will, at best, distort their promotion structure and run in.

In short, standard SFA procedures apply - as long as the cheeks are winning peace will reign.  What could go wrong?

[ericblack4boss]

Requires a 75% in favour from the championship down,  and 11-1 in the top division

Haha exactly what I thought when I read that. 

And back onto the topic of B teams. I decided to look into John Collins example leagues and in Croatia, Dinamo Zagreb have won the league 14 times in the last 15 years!!! How on earth is that a model to aspire to?!!!!
