^^ This  If the various Celtic supporters groups put out a statement on bhoycotts, our MSM would turn that into us waging some kind of 'vendetta' against TRFC 2012. Going by that survey from SPL surveys posted in the Generic Liquidation thread, most supporter groups across the country feel the same as we do, so I think it would be much better if they can ALL get together and issue a joint statement to the clubs. I also think it would be best if this was done 'low-key' and directly to the clubs rather than through the MSM for obvious reasons!! How this could be done logistically, I wouldn't know where to start TBH, but I feel it has to be done fairly quickly considering that the 'Big Vote' is only a couple of weeks away. |

I agree, the truth will out. Aberdeen and Dundee Utd fans have put a lot of pressure on their respective boards of directors, they won't settle for not knowing how their club has voted. Wether confirmation comes from a statement or a nod from Chairman to fans Association i don't know but supporters will find out. Not in a McCoist way though, that would be backhanded sneaky cowardy sleakitness. The fat dick. |

This may be seem controversial but can you guarantee Celtic will say no to "newco" We all want this but Celtic have one of, if not the, largest wage bills in the spl and a lot of that income depends on season tickets sales and let's not kid ourselves...a healthy rivalry against club 12 Anyone know how many celtic season tickets have been sold so far? Also does anyone know if the votes are made public? If not how do you know which clubs to boycot?  As a slight side point, I believe the least disruptive outcome for this will be that the rangers get rangers IA share but they will be told to accept the dual contract punishment which will be suspension from the league for one year. |

Kilmarnock have not done this at all. Their manager made a shocking , but hardly surprising statement, that it should be a secret ballot (hun DOESN'T want transparency now ?) but it was only his view. Many will share it mind you. I agree with the original post, 100 %. |

Is it really a secret ballot? Who counts the votes? Hope its not Doncaster, or there isn't any point having one. |

listen, this idea of boycotts is a bit disingenuous. we werent boycotting ibrox when they werent signing catholics. THAT is a reason for a boycott. this is just trying to even out the bullying the huns fans are threatening. none of this is as personal as some of you believe. its just business. this isnt an all or nothing type situation. there will be middle ground found, and this idea that fans are going to boycott other clubs parks, or their own, if they dont get EXACTLY what THEY PERSONALLY think is fair is silly. |

MOD GOD !!!!

Can only speak for the 6-10 guys who I know who basically go to every single away game. That is there life and they look forward to the away games. They have STs but only attend maybe 3 out of the 5 home games. I do not believe they would give up these trips away for anyone irrespective of the rights and wrongs. |

Having had a quick scan of other clubs (Aberdeen and Hibs) forums this is already underway. Hibs, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock appear to be in correspondence regarding a joint stance on "Yes to a NewClub". With two weeks until the vote I think a joint statement from supporter groups is a certainty. FWIW We should act in the interests of integrity and long term protection of Celtic regardless of whether we are "demonised" by anybody or not. |

100% Agree boycott the teams who voted on the huns regardles of how the vote goes,so the teams that dont vote newco should get more celtic fans going to their fixtures at home to celtic. I will personally try and get tickets for all of the away fixtures who's chairmen never voted for newco

My life has got to be like this.

I'd be very surprised if Aberdeen voted for a NewCo, due to the fact that their fans are almost as vocal as ours regarding it. However, I'm probably being very naive to think that the boardroom would be swayed by fan opinion. |

I agree 100% with the OP. A secret ballot does complicate the issue however and leaves me with only one option. I currently spend a fortune every season home and away. But if the share is transferred, even if it involves sanctions (a.k.a. bribes to SPL clubs) then I will have to hold all clubs in the league responsible including my own unless they make their vote public. That is just the way I feel and it will make no difference to me what others do. |

I agree with these comments. The huns have pumped all of scottish football, not just us, so we should be standing together. The survey mentioned shows we aren't alone and other than a tiny pocket of Killie and Well fans, it seems there is a consensus among all supporters. I'd be disgusted at any chairman that voted yes to a newco but I'd be most interested to see how ours votes. |

Forcing them to do the right thing is against what the original poster was trying to achieve. Let them vote. If they then decide that the financial gains outweigh sporting integrity, then we make a decision on that. |

Pointless worrying about it until something concrete is announced. As far as punishing our competition is concerned, that's for you to decide, but the team we all dislike is dead now and if we want a reasonably competitive league with decent atmosphere I think boycotting wouldn't help achieve that as it's counter-productive, even though it is hard to reason why anybody would want to vote the cheating bastards in anywhere, and for that reason I don't think we need to worry about it, because there will be no Govan Tax Dodgers in any league next season. Logistically it's getting tight for time, and all it needs is for the Late Knights to start putting pressure on Green and then there will be some comedy for us, and I think that right will prevail. Let's wait til something bad comes to pass before reacting in a knee-jerk fashion. Edited by Arsene Parcelie, 19 Jun 2012, 09:14 AM.

Most SPL supports feel the same as us. I have a feeling it may well end up a unanimous no vote. |
