    Parachute Payment

    How many seasons does a team get this when they get relegated and how much is it?

    That's them received circa £1.5m in parachute, playoff and 'prize' money. When Dundee went down in 2005, it was sweet phukk all parachutes, playoffs or prizes. They have no idea how fortunate they are

    And yet they complain that the playoffs are loaded against them. Their season's would have been finished in February both years they have been down if they played under the same circumstances Dundee did when down.

    Still the pleasure of seeing the agonies they go thru in the playoffs it wud be churlish not to let them have them.

    If you ain't going to hampden anytime soon when are you gonna get a chance to wear a tea towel on yer napper and put a quantamino suit On?

    Probably never.

    I keep hearing this "play offs are loaded against Championship Teams" rubbish. Whilst the the play offs were ongoing Partick Thistle were playing Premier League games. They played 3 SPL games in May to Livingstons 2 Play off games. Plus Livingston's last game was on Friday night and Partick's last game was on Saturday, so Livingstone get an extra rest day. So where is it loaded against the Championship?
