I somehow don't think that this is the end of the story.

At least now we can start rebuilding our great football club, no one will be able to say our punishment wasn't adequate, no more muddied waters, we got what every non Rangers fan was desparate to invoke.
How many clubs will still be there as we come back up through the leagues. WATP

Alan, if you are honest enough you will know in your heart of hearts that morally it was the only place they could go. I hope we can draw a line under This now and we on but I doubt that will be the case.

What punishments? You are where you because of A, administration and B, liquidation.
WATP? What an absolutely moronic phrase. We are travelling to Peterhead?

On that front ICTFC have called a board meeting for this weekend to discuss the serious financial implication of today's decision.

We are where we are because the rule book clearly had not been written to handle this particular scenario. Although our club has been ruined by two men with huge egos.
How about RTID any less moronic ???

And what punishment do rangers fan think they should have?
As one of the sfl club chairmen said, there is a precedent, Gretna. They got exactly the same punishment, for exactly the same end game (liquidation).
You're WATP p*sh is exactly what's wrong in scottish football ( Celtic every bit as guilty).

"But this has now been thrown in to disarray by this decision. This is a sad day for all clubs in Scotland."
Mr Cameron added: "None of us will escape the financial fallout from this. There was an opportunity on the table, in terms of the joint agreement tabled at today’s meeting for us all to come together and a genuine willingness to improve the game substantially over the coming years. But it now looks as though this will once again be kicked back in to the long grass. A once in a lifetime opportunity to bring forward change may well have been lost.
"The directors of ICTFC are fully aware of the financial implications of this latest decision on Newco. The loss of either our fans or our sponsors was never going to leave any of the clubs in Scotland in a healthy financial position and for some this could spell the end of football as we know it.
"Certain clubs in the SFL have perceived the financial information they were receiving as a 'big stick' to beat them into accepting Newco in the First Division. This was definitely not the case, as far as I am concerned. What they were being told was the reality of the situation."
The chairman concluded: "We will be convening an emergency board meeting over the weekend to discuss the very serious financial implications for us as a club going forward."
Sounds like some of the SPL chairmen didn't believe the SFL would vote us in to Div 3.

If Inverness' business model relies on 3 trips from rangers every year they have far, far bigger issues than newco being in div3.
If I was a fan I'd be demanding to know why the solvency of the club is so reliant on rangers!!?

There is a rule book Alan. Gretna have been demoted to SL3 for the same reasons and so has another club, Inverness I think. There hasn't been a witch hunt on Rangers it's been carried out according to the regulations laid down by the SFA.

Sky Sports would like to apologise to all subscribers for wrongly advertising they could watch Rangers in 3D. They meant Rangers in D3. :whoo:

I hope that they wouldn't run their business that way, but it is football and who knows sometimes ?? I think the deeper story may be sponsors renegotiating their deals.

I do like to be beside the seaside
Just as well because as you are seemingly RTID then you have at least one season visiting Arbroath and Peterhead etc. Although I genuinely believe we will witness another "insolvency event" before long. I wonder if sevco will be asked to put up a bond the same as Livi were......

Chris,I was only saying that as I stay in Irvine (Scotlands New Town by the sea ) as it used to be known :whoo:
Although I am sure most of the away games will be sold out, with the possible exception of Queens Park.
