Good  Monty Smug

But we are going up this season and there will be barely any fans in the grounds until next season.

This is going to make them restructure the leagues etc...honestly, if you look at it from opposing clubs point of view, they don’t gie a fuck. We aren’t that special.

Money makes the league go round though. Why else do clubs like Hamilton, St Mirren, St Johnstone & Motherwell give the old firm three stands out of four when they come to town?

I’m not for a minute claiming we’re special or anything like it, but they’ll happily take our cash, now and next year and for every year thereafter.

Raith Rovers were certainly one of them. Upye should have been our response.

Sadly, our response to clubs in need was 'of course you can borrow our player, happy to help xx'.

Aye but this idea that we secretly have them over a barrel. I doubt they are even thinking about us.

It’s a tinpot league and we are the arguably the biggest pull outside the old firm, I don’t think the viewing figures would be massively different but Rangers vs hearts would appeal to a neutral more than celtic vs Hamilton or at mirren, revenue from streaming games, the fact we have 5 games on the tv in October speaks volumes as well

Because we won't finish top or because there won't be any promotion?

Won't be any promotion. We'll be the cash cow for the lower leagues.

Think Ayr said similar as well. Pretty sure their chairman said they voted the way they did, so they could benefit from the Hearts away support.

Yup! Their chairman is desperate to cash in too. We should be giving these mobs nothing, no loan players, no money, nothing.

Have very little confidence the seaside league will be played to a conclusion and the cancelling of promotion and relegation across the lower leagues is going to be a stick on.

Surprised tomorrow is still going ahead tbh given the rise in cases and we are classed as amateur sport Monty Oh Well
