    new Huns, new co ''the'' rangers, club 12 or whatever there to be called are ''technically'' innocent.
    so there are no sanctions anyway.
    but, there are conditions,
    so the spl can put any conditions they want on them on entry to the spl.
    if that's the way it go's. :31:

    I completely agree.

    As a season-ticket holder, as well as someone who regularly attends away games, there is no way I (or the group I travel to games with) will continue to put money into the coffers of clubs who vote for a corrupt and biased league.

    There should just be no transfers of an SPL share unless its earned.

    If they let a New Club into the SPL because they got a share then that will be the precedent set. Anyone could give anyone else their share or anyone could buy anyones share and the League would just be a shambles.

    You could get an East Fife fan offering Ross County £10million if they give their SPL share to East Fife and end up with East Fife buying their way into the SPL.

    Surely voting know would be more beneficial? Why should anyone vote for a club that has and potentially could again cheat them out of trophies?

    I can't believe the way some people have shrugged off the option of a boycott when its one of the only tools we have as supporters. If there was a serious boycott organised by your fellow supporters and you ignored it then your giving a big fat middle finger to them and saying you don't care. If one happened and everyone stuck to it THAT is what would show just how well organised we are as a support, at first some might think it would look bad, but others on the would have to admire action like that - particularly in Europe.


    Many also may not realise that a boycott of a home game v Kilmarnock in 1994 helped to save our club in many respects. That is a fact. So to say a boycott is 'hunnish' is ridiculous.

    As already mentioned clear as day - a club voting yes, is voting for a corrupt league. They should suffer for that in my opinion and they won't get a penny from me, i don't care even if thats where the title is clinched. It wouldn't be nice, and i only missed a handful of away games last season - but it would be a necessary evil.

    I won't be boycotting any of the clubs that vote yes. The team need our support and the away games all have great atmosphere, all down to our support.

    I'm all for a boycott against these bottom-feeders.

    Although I do agree with the concern that it would leave the team without a support.

    Here's a genuine no-lose solution that caters for all parties....

    BOYCOTT THE GAME! Do not buy one single ticket - but stand outside the ground and sing like * for 90mins......get the GB boys to bring their drums, bring air horns.....bring stuff to make a shitload of noise and have designated people with radios etc to inform the crowd of when a goal is scored......if they team cannot do without the support for a game, then they cannie moan if the boys are just outside the stadium singing....pretty sure this would generate twice the amount of support that is allowed in the stadium!

    * Kilmarnock - we can support our team without even stepping foot in yer poxy arena!

    I don't think for one second Celtic won't vote yes, they should vote no but financially they will vote yes

    This is exactly how it should be done :50: Two birds with the one stone plus it would be immense craic ,however I'd imagine the police would have something to say about it

    I'm pretty sure they could imagine up some legislative loophole to stop it, but I do not see what law it would be impeding?

    As long as it was comfortably policed, then I see no illegitimacy in it?

    I don't mean to blow my own trumpet - but I think it is a fantastic idea.

    It is not just about boycotting thoseclubs who vote to allow the newco straight in but also showing solidarity with other clubs that vote no and make sure we fill their grounds to capacity everytime (althought we probably do that already.)

    It's also about showing these clubs that they cannot benefit from our support and our cash when they want to vote forward within this league and promote deviant behaviour and immoral acts.

    I will be nowhere near a boycott. The Huns death is going to hurt a lot of clubs without our resources. Threatening them for doing what they feel is best is an absolute * disgrace and has no place within the Celtic support.
