Stenhousemuir have come out and said they are voting Newco into division 1.

Pretty sure I read something a while back that ESPN were thinking of withdrawing from Europe long beofre the Huns went tits up. Could this be another bit of spin like the claim that Clydesdale Bank will walk away because of this despite them confirming that they were not renewing last year?

Spartans have already said they would not apply for a place if they would be up against Sevco.

Just think it would maybe balance the pish being circulated in the press if one of the SPL clubs (i.e. us) were to issue a statement that said in nice clear language that Sevco should now apply for the vacancey created at the bottom of the football pyramid and in no circumstances parachuted into the First division. Could also add that we would oppose the setting up of SPL 2 to accomodate Sevco.

So are they suggesting a better presentation from Newco would have seen them in the SPL?

Wonder if they will confim how everyone voted.

No celebrations from me until they are confirmed as having to apply to division 3.

St Johnstone reconfirmed there position in last couple of days.

The more I read the more I am being pushed towards walking away from Scottish football. The whole game is corrupt from top to bottom and I do not know if I can justify putting anymore money into the game even it Newco are put into division three as the same corrupt and incompetent clowns will still be running the game.

This is now being denied by SFA.

Did think that myself. Surely if they are not fit for the top league then they are not fit for any league administered by the SFA.

Surely if they have acted without the permission of the clubs they are supposed to represent then they can be removed so why would they release a statement like that without permission from the clubs?

Typo from Mizer I think as everything I have seen says SPL.

Where are these proposals coming from given most of the SPL clubs are denying all knowledge of these proposals?

Anyone noticed that SSN and BBC are reporting today's SFL meeting as deciding on Newco into 1st only. Not once do they mention the option of them going into division 3.

If above is true anyone want to bet against Newco being voted back into SPL on Thursday if SFL vote goes down division 3 route today. Also if above is true it explains Milne not mentioning division 3 in his statement the other day.

Where in Stewart Milnes statement does he actually say Newco should go to division 3.

Retard article says he is 21 and been watched by Crystal Palace Fulham and Arabs recently.

Keevans has a simlar article in Daily Ranger as well.

Happy there are no Scots involved. Now just need them to lose every game and jobs done.

Daily Ranger has a quote from an unnamed SLF offical claiming that a 75% majority is not required to allow Newco in but just a straight majority vote.

Have to agree. Can anyone explain how clubs can say they know nothing of this deal to allow Newco into division 1 yet this document comes from the SPL which is run by the clubs and was released ater a meeting at Hampden yesterday which all the clubs attended.

BBC running with the same story now.

Paul Dixon signs for Huddersfield.

Daily Ranger again claiming that newco to division 1 is a done deal. Says SFL board discussed the plan on Tuesday. Also interesting quote from St Mirren chairman on a 16 team league saying he would hope that SFL clubs would accpet this as it would mean Newco would not take up all the promotion places next season. Edit: Meant to say that have 8 page pull out about newco situation in the paper this morning.
