I thought it was Queen of the South that played at Hampden Park?
Queen's Park....

Yeah Clyde only holds about 8k Lee, I think you mean Queens Park at Hampden.

Or them. They should merge because their names are too similar, and I for one don't like that.

East stirling la la la!
It's possibly a little known fact that East Stirlingshire, were subject to an early example of franchising, in the mid 60's when a couple of Glasgow brothers, who owned the club thought that with gates of 200 that Falkirk was already sorted for football, by Falkirk FC and moved ES to Clydebank...then a new area of outer Glasgow with some industry and a sizeable population. The new club was called East Stirlingshire Cydebank, and for a while did OK. The faithful 200 ES fans though kept the fight going, and eventually won a court case, that their club had in effect been stolen and should be returned to Falkirk...the judge agreed. So ES went back and are still going, whereas Clydebank as they became when eventually being accepted into the league, have disappeared. If only something similar could happen to Milton Keynes.

A couple of good reads here : http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=19790#more-19790But I did like Annan's statement in this : http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=19794#more-19794For those who cannot be bothered to read the article, they said the following : We were delighted to hear the unanimous response from all ten 1st Division clubs who stated that they are only interested in a 42 club resolution (for any CEO’s or others who are unsure what that means, bluntly it is stick SPL2 where the sun don’t shine)

My ex-flatmate is signing for Berwick next week and potentially will be playing at Hampden and Ibrox next season!

Clydebank still exist under the name Airdrie United. *spits* I'd laugh at Rangers if I didn't feel like a really pale jobby.

Congratulations to The New Rangers FC. They've just scored the first competitive goal in their history.
Live on BBC Alba (168) for those that are interested.

I think it's getting to the point where most Scottish fans would be happy for them to move on as well. The line put forward by many Rangers fans that other clubs need Rangers to generate crowds/revenue etc. is true to a point...but they would live.
But as you say, where Rangers would go is another matter. Very little incentive for the English leagues to take them on; fine as they are. Perhaps they could join the League of Wales?
