I think in this instance after Thistle made their statement the club were caught in we're damned if we do or damned if we don't scenario about making a statement.
There would have been a fair few on here stating that the Board weren't looking after the club etc for letting this go by with nothing said.
I would love to see an Accies supportes view on it but can't find an active forum for them......
Either way, we have been short changed with the way the fixtures have been divvied up with the Old Firm as for the travelling aspect, we do seem to get a lot of midweek visits up North and during the festive periods. This also works the other way as well. Recently we have had Aberdeen at us on the 2nd January, so it's not all one way traffic but comments were made when that fixture was announced as well, due to limited or no public transport.
Lets get an 18 team league up and running, everyone plays each other twice (no need for fancy splits then) and try to regionalise things a little better for festive period. After all it wasn't that long ago the New Years Day fixture was considered a Derby day.
