The battleground is the Championship. Eight of the 10 clubs are required to vote for the resolution. Partick Thistle are not voting for it. That means the SPFL board need eight votes from nine clubs. As it stands it looks like seven are likely. The one extra vote required to get this resolution passed could conceivably come down to Inverness or Dundee.
ICT will vote yes but it may not save them
I think that this will go through as clubs will bite the bullet on this season .....maybe a few grumps from Hearts and Jags on the way but at end of day like everyone else at moment these businesses need income.
Call time on this season and we all lose collectively , season tickets bought and paid for will help keep the clubs going with unfortunately no football for us in return ......an irrelevance in light of wider picture at moment.
Draw the line and all focus goes to selling product for new season as normally happens from this point on, season tickets income, every game getting full income when they start ......if we were to play out end of this season it would be a few months on minimal income using current ST’s and some pay at the gate before new money coming in.
Getting to the “new” season income could be crucial to the survival of some clubs , maybe even the funny lot over the road with the faux integrity comments at the moment as desperate as anyone else for £££.
A new season book to cover the end of this season and a shorter new season could achieve same financial benefit but could see a problem or two trying to convince people to part with their hard earned again for some games already paid for.
We’re going up, and the Dees are staying doon 🤭😄
Couple of things:
Wouldn't this be a great opportunity to restructure Scottish Football entirely. Bin the inbred Blazers and set up a new single structure with integrity.
Create an open voting system where a proposal is made, clubs vote, the process is streamed live (its so easy now) and all results are instantaneous and clear.
