fatcalf Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 As anticipated, St Mirren reject proposals. http://www.saintmirr.../pages/?p=22463 Yaay, one more and it's sealed, Celtic will propose a change to the crazy 11-1 voting procedure as it's unfair and next season we can try for a bigger league again, only I'd put the proviso in that no change to be made until The Rangers have won their way back to the SPL just to see if Chucky carries through his 'threat' not to take their place.

nethertonwellfan Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Well done to St Mirren. So one more rejection or abstention and this proposal is dead in the water? Again I see no reason why a better financial distribution, a merger of the leagues and play offs can't be introduced without this shocking 12,12,18 shite.

yosemite sam Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hats off to St Mirren. A well thought out reply, and has taken into account what fans have been calling for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Well done St Mirren. A well thought out response that echos the thoughts of many fans. Here's hoping that after the meeting on Thursday our club will be in a position to be equally principled. This should never have been a take it or leave it proposal. That just smacks of the bullyboy tactics employed to try and shoehorn Rangers back into the SPL last year. Didnt work then and shouldnt work now. Give us the one body. Give us the financial re-structuring. Give us the change in voting system. The league re-structuring talks can continue through the summer so by the start of next season everyone knows what they are paying and playing for. Or is that too sensible?

sbcmfc Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Stmirren have pretty much covered everything I'd submitted for the Q&A. Completely agree with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the question that no-one will answer. Indeed, I think we'd all be prepared to go 12,12,18 as long as we had playoffs and the 888 was avoided. I can only assume that the potential sponsors backing this idea are 888poker.com or whatever. Pretty sure Ross County will seal the deal.

Wellfan1984 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 What is the whole love for playoffs? Fucking idiotic to decide a whole league campaign on one maybe two performances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 What is the whole love for playoffs? Fucking idiotic to decide a whole league campaign on one maybe two performances? But if you finish in a play off spot it's not 'one maybe two performances'. Extra excitement, extra income, extra chance to be in with the 'big boys' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra excitement, extra income, extra chance to be in with the 'big boys' Depends how you do it. If you end 4th 30 points behind the leader, and 2nd is 2 points behind the leader and you meet each other (and 2nd has beaten you on every previous meeting, well) and 4th wins it is exactly a 1 game luck meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

another number Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Can anyone who was at the well society meeting clarify for me. I left early and may have got the wrong end of the stick but we were told then that this new structure would come with a change in voting system?

I left early and may have got the wrong end of the stick but we were told then that this new structure would come with a change in voting system? it was sadly one point that I did not have a clear explanation off to the point that Id say it wasnt made clear deliberatley I cannot remember the exact turn of phrase,which is frustrating, but in essence it was said that the voting would change on some matters but on others all clubs would still be needed and it was not cleared up about which clubs votes on what during the 8/8/8 farce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another number Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Thanks, it's a point I wasn't 100 % clear on when I left but I thought they had said this would facilitate a change in voting structure which going forward would help any other changes which were wanted.

ropy Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 If its one league body is the voting 41-1 for specific matters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 i'm sure they said there were going to be different levels of voting. some things would be voted on by all the teams and other things only by the relevant league. on spl issues the voting was to be 9-3.

Andy_P Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I caught a wee bit of Radio Scotland on the road up to the game on Saturday and that's certainly the impression they were under that there was a two tier voting structure which for some issues - issues they couldn't actually clarify - it would revert from 9-3 to 11-1.

another number Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'd love to believe otherwise but I'm falling into the smoke and mirrors category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesman Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Enjoyed listening to Mr Gilmour and his very well thought out arguments. The one bone of contention is clearly the 11-1 voting. Really cant understand this attitude from the clubs considering one of the ugly sisters is irrelevant now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Ironically it is this current voting structure that looks like scuppering 8x8x8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
