If newco get into the SPL regardless of who voted them I shall stop attending ANY SPL match (home or away). I can't morally justify putting money into such a corrupt league. If it kills Celtic well I'm sorry, but that's too bad. I can't overcome my disgust at what this would say about Scotland. |

Getting on a bit

My take on this - Regardless of who votes what way, if there is a Rangers in the SPL next season, this should be a time for supporters of ALL the other Scottish clubs to put aside rivalries for the moment and express their disapproval together as one voice. Imagine the impact of an organised protest weekend where nobody showed up at any of the scheduled games. |

No  When the huns are kicked out SPL they need to apply to SFL. At that point the SFL become involved and the new team is their problem

I agree. The club have done well, at least in public, of keeping schtum and not making this a Celtic v Rangers issue. This talk of a boycott from Celtic supporters clubs is, IMO, premature and unhelpful Should the unthinkable happen at they are let back into SPL, then action should be taken. Fans of ALL clubs are opposed to newco in the SPL |

Just seen a decent tweet on this. Other fans will let their own clubs know how they feel should they vote yes. We should leave them to it. Bully boy tactics is not the way ahead. |

Dont think celtic or celtic groups like the CSA or Trust will use bullying, i think possibly writing to other clubs and possibly contacting supporters groups of other clubs (except old/new huns)  just to communicate feelings and share views.

Getting noticed in the reserves
|
What about trying to turn the spin into a positive and make it a campaign to support the clubs who vote for integrity? eg. I support Hibs, if we're away at a hunvoter (say Rugby Park), I'll go to a Nohunvoter (say Tannadice to see DUFC v whoever) instead. |

I'm not bullying anyone. I wouldn't expect Aberdeen supporters to pay into Parkhead next season if we vote in Sevco, so why should I accept another club sacrificing the integrity of the game? |

I understand that it would be better if we didn't give those who would call us bullies an opportunity to do so, but since when do any of us give a shampooe about what those kind of people think? If we wait until they are voted back in before we take any action, it's too late - they're back in! |

The only team we should aim to influence is our own. Leave the bully boy tactics and threats to the bully boys from across the city |

What's the difference with using "bully boy tactics and threats" against our own team and Kilmarnock? Same principle, same argument, same logic, same outcome. |

We Won the Big One-They Never Will!
|
I,ve spoken to fans of St Mirren, Motherwell and Hibs whilst on holiday and they do not want to see the huns in the SPL. They assure me that the majority of their fellow fans feel the same so I think we would loose any kind of support from fans of other teams if we adopt bullying tactics. I think that fans of all clubs should do something collectively to show the spineless eejits of the SPL and SFA that they must vote for sporting integrity and not be shafted by those cheating feckers

The very fact you are on here gives me some hope that clubs will do the right thing and send the bastards packing if we keep up the pressure. It is way to important to leave tools like Johnston to exacerbate this fiasco. |

I agree with the boycott too. Just playing devils advocate here but what if, for example, Newco gets voted in under the condition that the side with the 'gang of 10' and agree to change the voting structure from the 11-1 majority that it is now to.a simple majority (ie 7-5), that would then open the door for the small 10 clubs to push through 'shared gate takings' across all games, in turn finacially impacting us |

I know a good few Kilmarnock fans who do not want 'the' new huns voted into the SPL, the problem killie have is the chairman, he's an idiot, i'm sure you know that anyway. And its time the myth about everyone from killie being a hun without the bus fair was smashed too, killie fans dislike celtic and the huns in the same way dundee united do st. mirren do and every other club. Every fan who is against the new huns being voted into the SPL must lobby their club and the football bodies

Celtic To The Core
|
As someone who goes regularly to away games and speaking to a few of my mates as well who are in the same bracket they would 100% support a boycott. Its not about ''bully boy tactics'' its about the good of the game up here. These clubs will need to live by their actions if the sport is put to the backburner in favour of finance. |

Ahh, but what if they let the huns back into Div 1 as a compromise, rather than Div 3, what we gonna do then? FWIW Bottom tier or you can GTF from me.  |

I'm sorry but I think all this talk of boycotting teams that vote them in is hugely unproductive. From my understanding we all (SPL fans) want to uphold integrity. None of us want the corruption of Sevco in the SPL. To start talking of these things, however noble the intentions is just going to seem like bullying and reinforces the "Celtic getting their way" argument. When faced with a crisis like this, pooling resources and sticking together is the best way forward. Our friends at all SPL clubs all have a valid voice and we must join with them and give a consistent message. We need to show all clubs that they will suffer financially if Sevco get voted in. This includes our own. We can't make special cases of our own team just because we love them. The very fabric of football in this country is threatened and the message should be clear "If Sevco get into the SPL I'm out." Home and away, regardless of success or failure, we must show that the perceived financial benefits of Sevco (far from clear) will be wiped out and then some by this cancerous stench of corruption. We are all fighting for the same game. Let's be consistent and united. |
