Amber_nectar Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Time for fans to stand up and be counted. I think all fans should walk out of their next league game at half time. Don't buy food or programmes. I am sick to the back teeth of the SFA and the SPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 What difference does it make if you walk out at half time? They've already got your £22, that's all they give a fuck about. Just don't bother turning up in the first place, that's the road I'll be taking. I've missed a load of games in the first half of the season because of work, but that was sorting itself out in the second half with Saturdays off when we are at home, but I'll be keeping my money to myself.

Kris*Kaizer 2*Nunn Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 See i still love Motherwell and i still have my season ticket so i'll go but a protest wont help they really dont care about the fans they just want to to line their own pockets when the scum firm come to town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_nectar Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I don't want to rob Motherwell of any income. So go in support your team but show the SPL and SFA that we are not going to stand back and watch them kill our game. Enough is enough. Or should we all protest outside Hampden. That could get ugly.

Orinoco Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 but as others have said once you give them your money, they are are NOT interested in what you have to say! the fans are quick to say the clubs should sacrifice for the good of the game, but fans won't sacrifice attendance in fear of damaging their clubs. Go figure that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_nectar Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 An empty stadium after half time time might make them realise that we are not going to sit back and let them do this to us. I don't want to take my money away from Motherwell. I just want to show people what Fir Park will be like when we get our 10 team league. Although we will probably end up in the fist division anyway. If we walk out at half time the only money Motherwell will lose will be pie and bovril money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Wellfan 2k7 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 A Hampden Protest At the semi Would be convenient! Whether it be a Backs Turned moment or a Large Sign to Show the Disgust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special aka Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I take it they've gone for the 10 team SPL then Despite a recent Poll of fans voting something like 85% against it Scottish football ....... RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Any sort of protest at Hampden would fall on death ears for a few reasons. The main reason for that is the headquarters of the mongs that have come up with this idea are based at Ibrox, Celtic Park, Fir Park, Easter Road and St Mirren Park - the SPL Board actually were pushing for a larger league for much of the discussions. SPL Big Wigs (Neil Doncaster etc.) are not to blame for this. Mon the Hearts and Dundee United going against the grain and showing the likes of Motherwell and Hibs what it is like to actually listen to fans!

Wellfan1984 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Do we have details of which Clubs voted for what ? No one has voted for anything yet. That's not till the 17th. The Strategy group though I believe was Celtic, Rangers, Motherwell, Hibernian and St Mirren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Quite a scary sentence that. We're due one of them seasons - will probably be the year of the cut 10 team league makes it much more likely for a number of teams now. What will it be now............one down and a four team play off to decide the other place in the SPL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muir on tour Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 If this actually goes through I will be absolutely mortified. Do they not realise that the fans dont want this and Scottish football is already a lost cause. Just us let it carry on the way it is, two leagues of ten is gonna make fuck all difference!! I just hope this doesnt lead to the complete demise of scottish football. If attendances and income does become extremely bad, I wouldnt put it past Rangers and Celtic to go down south, not even to the Premier League but start at League 2. Scottish Football is already dire enough, dont they realise!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will it be now............one down and a four team play off to decide the other place in the SPL? Which how can they say playoffs cannot decide League Champions as one team can be about 20 points clear but they can decide top league place - are teams in the SPL2 not going to be more than 20 points by any chance? What a fucking disaster. Last one out turn off the lights and lock the door behind them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Tell you something I wouldn't be overly confident if we went into a four team play off with Dunfermline, Dundee, and Raith Rovers. In fact St Mirren, who occupy that place at the moment, would be luck to make the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 The main argument put forward by the committee for a 10 team set up is finance. Just how poorer off would teams be if they opted for a bigger league? And has anyone produced a set of figures to back up their claim? Neil Doncaster also spoke of the economic argument against a 16 or 18-team top division, saying it would "involve the decimation of finances in Scottish football"."The cake gets much smaller and is cut into more slices," he added. "There would be fewer games and there is no doubt, from a TV point of view, there would be less money coming into the game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Why be afraid to rob Motherwell of your money. They are as guilty as anyone if this goes through. Fuck the lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Why be afraid to rob Motherwell of your money. They are as guilty as anyone if this goes through. Fuck the lot of them. Guilty than most in theory... I bet you one thing, if we had a bigger league and we played Hamilton at New Year, there would be by far more than 3000 punters at the game. Derby games would be even bigger, and more important than they are now. Even the Old Firm game would be a bigger draw than it is now if it only happened twice a season. It makes me want to cry that those who run our game think this is a good idea. Every single person in charge of an SPL football club should be locked up and never allowed to discuss this sport again. Cunts the lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
