How does that show that the SPL is a joke?  Because a multi millionaire spent a shit load of money and took a small club into the SPL?

Well in that case Swindon Town should never be allowed to go into the premiership again.  For we are just a small town club, with shit support (defo not up to premiership standards) and quite clearly do not deserve the millions of Fitton and Co.  In fact let's close the league membership off so no other clubs can rise through the leagues.  Stop promotion to the premier league and only let "big" clubs compete.

I hope Gretna survive, and I can't believe Will really wants them to go out of business.

Oh and please let me know of another country with a population of 5 million with a better league.  I'm sure there are a handful, but not many.  I hate the old firm but they've done alright in Europe recently, not bad for teams from a joke league.

Rant over. Oops

Not at all, it was a throwaway comment. I admire your passion.

In my eyes Gretna are the Scottish version of Franchise. Ok not in the same way, but I hate them that much. THe whole thing was always going to happen. Gretna is hardly a big enough town to support a 3rd division team let alone get enough through the gates to fund SPL standard players.

Who gives a fuck Will, that's the beauty of football, you could have 60 years of crap then before you know it you've risen through the leagues and playing premiership matches week in week out.

I was at a party on Sat night, talking to some bloke about football, he says he's from Milton Keynes so I ask him who he supports, he says Franchise. I asked him how he could bear to support such a sham of a club and what it was like having a stadium 1/4 full. he said not sure, doesn't go to games but if they get in the play-off final / JPT he would go to wembley. I called him a plastic fan of a plastic franchise club and told him to fuck off and die and take his "club" (yes I did the finger quote mark thing). I may have had a drink or twelve by that point but I still stand by what I said.

I think we all agree with you axs. Just goes to show how pathetic that club is when "supporters" who live in the town will only go if they are at Wembley. If we had a nice shiny new ground our attendances would be pretty high - atleast for a while.
