Just a pity they aren't getting a straight forward question to vote on about putting newco into division 3

Arbroath too: http://www.arbroathfc.co.uk/

Henry McLeish in today's Scotsman. If you don't want to be patronised then look away now...

Keeping the door open for newco if they are not accepted into SFL1? Even though that would definitely be the end of Scottish football. In other news, seemingly AFC have sold 9000 season tickets.

Looking like a 14 team league for 2013/14 is being proposed by the SFL board.

On Twitter just now: SFL board proposals to include a 14 team top tier for season 13/14.

I've seen worse, but by and large the adidas tops have been a disappointment.

I think it's becoming increasingly clear (see Clyde's latest statement) that some/all of the SPL clubs are involved in the plan to put newco into SFL1. The silence from the SPL clubs is deafening. Is anyone regretting buying a season ticket?

Very good read, very well researched! Some interesting stuff about when Mourinho was interviewed for the Barca job (before Guardiola) and also when the Huns were trying to get Messi on loan! Neither of which I'd heard before.

Have you tried searching for it?

What an amazing statement, thank fuck for some of these so-called smaller teams. They know what sporting integrity is.

Looks like the swear filter on the BBC website has gone for a Burton: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-18771554 Terry has admitted repeating the words he thought he heard Ferdinand say. Who repeats racist language towards somebody of a different ethnic group if they are not intending to be racist!?

Not that I care about the cunt, but it's pretty shocking that the Sun are taking advantage of the state he's in these days.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-18776084 Yeah you can just see that happening! I believe Paul Lawrie and Martin Laird are also there for the opening.

I'm confused (it doesn't take much). 13 clubs have seemingly declared that they want to vote for newco to be in Division 3, but there is no such option at Friday's vote? They are being asked to vote them into Division 3 but giving the SFL board the option to put them into Division 1 in the same question? So I don't quite understand what may or may not happen. Would they just vote a complete "no" to this question and hence bar them from the SFL completely?

I think they'll end up in either Division 1 or the SPL. Somebody is keeping the SPL door open, otherwise why haven't Dundee or Dunfermline been offered the Club 12 space!?
