Cmon the Caley

Cmon Caley...

3-0 get in there gutted to be missing the game!

Because they don't have to merge to move forward as Thistle, Caledonian (and Clach) apparently had to do so at that time. I don't think we should be reducing the number of teams but I do think that we should look at restructuring the leagues and include a pyramid system. Look at the ares of Fife as an example - it has 4 football teams, I know it will never happen but a merger of Dunfermline, Raith, East Fife, and Cowdenbeath would give a far stronger team a bigger support and 1 stadium to upkeep. Dunfermline average attendance 3676 capacity 12558 Raith avarage attendance 1854 capacity 10104 East Fife average attendance 513 capacity 2000 Cowdenbeath average attendance 799 capacity 5268.

RiG - ICT has come from 2 football teams that have merged and look how much stronger we are now! So what's wrong with some of the lower division teams merging to give a stronger team and more support?

At the end of the day Scottish football has too many clubs. There is teams in the lower divisions getting average attendances of 400-600. Why should clubs with support of thousands even tens of thousands support clubs like this a lot of the lower league clubs should be looking at mergers or playing junior leagues. The whole of Scottish football is a joke and it will remain that way until we get new people in with a passion and love for the game who can embrace the fans opinions instead of just listening to sponsons/tv companies. Once we get the nation in love with the game again and clubs standing together instead of backstabbing and bickering through the media then the sponsors etc will come rolling in.

I am glad this has failed and well done to the 2 chairmen that listened to their fans and voted no.

Ticket prices are higher when we play Rangers/Celtic I take it they will be lower prices if we end up playing the 1st division teams!

Why oh why do we keep getting told its 12 12 18 format or nothing there is no alternative, its now or never. Forget the scare tactics of the SPL bully boys and get round a table and talk, listen to the fans get some sensible ideas. I'm sick of hearing this is the only option available!

Was in the North Stand last night fantastic atmosphere.

I thought the voting structure was remaining 11-1 even if reconstruction goes ahead. If that is the case then how does that benifit Scottish football?

What is the rush to get this through for next season. It has already been proven that the 12 12 18 model with the split does not work. The whole situation is crazy there is just over a month till the end of this season and you have teams who have no idea what league they will be playing in next season. As I said before there needs to be a clearout of the the top dogs in Scottish football and strong characters who know and love the game brought in to guide Scottish football forward and make it stable and stronger for the future.

The way it is going the whole of Scottish football is becoming a joke and we need a clearout of personnel from the top and people put in place who care about the Scottish game. I really fear for the future if these ludicrous reconstruction plans go ahead.

Richie Foran, McKay or Meekings have all done well and will be contenders for PoY

I would rather the league's stay as they are for next season rather than rushing the 12, 12, 18 idea with the ridiculous split. That gives over a year to get some sensible ideas on the table to discuss. What is the point of going from bad to worse and driving away even more fans from the Scottish game.

Get rid of the split I hate it. Makes planning for games a nightmare.

This is why I am against a split of any kind nobody knows who is playing who or where for the last 5 games of the season until fairly short notice.

Why should anybody sympathise with Dunfermline they have been living beyond their means for long enough - not paying there staff, tax or other bills. If this is the end for Dunfermline then so be it! As a neutral of both clubs I wonder why there was such vile hatred towards Rangers when they were in a similar situation yet Dunfermline are getting sympathy.

Fantastic well done now to get a place in Europe!

Yes all too true football now is all about the politics and every agenda seems to revert back to the fans hatred of Rangers. Time to move on and get back to football. I agree there is a desperate need for an overhaul at the top and people put in place that can steer the Scottish game in the right direction.

What a lot of nonesense no wonder other countries scrapped this system.

Fantastic news if true.

And they wonder why attendances are low with these prices.

The direct debit system paying over 10-12 months would be a great idea and would be a more affordable way of buying a season ticket. Personally I had never been to a Caley game until my son came home with a free ticket from school now we are hooked and although we can't go to every game we go as often as we can.
