That is the sad reality of our situation as a Football Club T6.

Here's a link to some more on the actual report it is based on:

That has always been my view too Andy.  The Chairman of all Clubs and those administering and running our game pander to them and the other arse cheeks at every opportunity; they basically get all the money; yet they still get away with disrespecting the SPFL and therefore the product at every opportunity.  As will be proven when they announce their usual glamour friendly at the expense of another SPFL, hopefully, as soon as they are out of Europe!

For anyone interested here are the stats relative to us.  I know that I repeat myself sometimes (but not as much as some) however you basically end up corresponding to your financial outlay and we are effectively the 6th biggest team in Scotland.  So 5 major trophies in 35 years is punching above our weight statistically, albeit we should have won more, so our problem is probably one of unrealistic expectations:




We all revel in the ability to taunt other teams of them not paying their bills and in the case of one major one, that they are no longer the same team!  Our Club have made a moral decision (that I'm sure we all agree with) to pay back our debts and this has torpedoed a MASSIVE, PROBABLY NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN OPPORTUNITY IN MY LIFETIME to add to our silver haul; but my only gripe is that I would like an explanation in what changed between the Whitehall Theatre last year and now?  I'm a realist and I'll continue to support my team, but I drove 140 miles that night to attend that meeting, which was supposed to be a perk of being a season ticket holder and I value honesty, integrity and the truth, so I feel a bit cheated and used if I'm honest.
