Hold up, what are you on about there? A Celtic messageboard? Which one? I don't really hate Rangers anymore than any other non-old firm fan does to be honest. And again, for the umpteenth time, it has fuck all to do with Rangers and everything to do with how the the power that be at the SPL are going about their business. "I'm how a Motherwell fan should be"!?!

What has my personal opinion got to do with the other moderators? As I've said numerous times, I'm simply not buying into the SPL if they allow Rangers to walk back in after everything they've done. Will I still attend non-SPL games? Yes, I will. Will I still spend my hard-earned in the club shop? Yes, I will. Will I still invest in the Well Society? Yes, I will. Y'see, in the past there's always been a bit of a suspicion that the SPL was geared up to benefit the two Glasgow clubs. I can live with a suspicion. If Rangers are allowed to transfer to a newco and walk right back into the SPL then that suspicion has basically became them waving it in our faces. When a product becomes rotten or you become disillusioned by it you have to decide if you want to keep throwing your money at it every year. I've simply decided not to.

I wouldn't bother trying to explain it to him. There are a few on this forum who refuse to take on board anything that anyone says and will continue to have wee digs as those who don't agree with them.

This is already being discussed in the straight letter to the board thread.

Surely there'll still be season tickets and Well Society memberships available when the club make their position clear, no? The sensible thing is to wait and see how it all pans out, then put your cash either back in your pocket, or into the clubs bank account.

At least they try to be sneaky about it.

Aye, very good mate. I'v been going to 'Well games for 26 years, so the decision not to return to SPL matches isn't one I've taken lightly. There has to be a point though where enough is enough. There's no way in Hell the SPL or the other member clubs of this league would react in the same forgiving way if it were the likes of Hibs, Hearts, ourselves or Dundee United who had did what Rangers did. It's simply a case of one set of rules for the big two, and another set for the rest of us. What makes it even worse is the fact that it appears that those who run the clubs who have been shafted are more than happy to aid in ensuring that we continue to get shafted. Fuck that. I'd rather walk away than waste my hard earned on a league that's pretty much rigged so that the big two succeed whilst the rest of us fight for whatever's left.

I doubt it'll have a major effect on renewals to be honest.

Give it time, Dewell. The fact that he hasn't come out immediately and said he was off (like Sutton did) means he may be considering the new contract.

I don't think we really need another forward if I'm being honest. If we manage to tie up most of the squad we currently have for next season I'll be happy with that.

Just admit that anyone who gives shit to a striker who scores the amount of goals in a season that Higdon has needs their heads examined.

The full statement for anyone who hasn't read it yet; What I read from that is the club are going to look at the situation as and when it arises, and if the loss of Rangers impacts on our finances in a negative fashion (which it will) they'll vote in favour of a NEWCO coming straight into the SPL. In my opinion Motherwell FC as a club, or Derek Weir as a member of the SPL board, will vote to keep Rangers in the SPL.

When we sign players who fit that criteria we usually spend the time that they're here talking about where they'll be moving to next. I'll take big Higdon with a goal tally of fifteen per season or more for a few years.

It may just be me, but the video is no longer playing. It's saying that embedding has been disabled by request?

Yes, I do.

Then let Killie & Hearts vote in favour of a NEWCO. All I'm looking for is some positive action from my club, something that suggests to me that they actually give a fuck about what their fanbase has to say on the matter.

I'm guessing this is Daley's make or break season. If he doesn't perform he'll be offski at the end of next season most likely.

Christ, at least we could have offered him European football and the prospect of challenging for Europe again next season. What can Aberdeen offer? A bit more cash and the chance to challenge for 7th?

Nice one. A local match during what should hopefully be a sunny day.

Feel free to jump into the 2012/13 ins & outs thread and join the already over the top McFadden discussion.

Despite those involved telling you repeatedly that they aren't "boycotting" or "protesting" you go on ahead with your hilarious banter.

You do know that makes you less of a fan than those who buy a season ticket, right? Your opinions on this forum will therefore be less valid.

Yeah, as I mentioned in another thread, this isn't a protest. At least not on my part. It's simply a case of waiting to see if the SPL is actually worth spending my hard earned cash on. If it turns out that special rules and allowances are made to certain clubs, then I'm done with it. I'll be there for our cup games and European games obviously, but the SPL league campaign will have lost its integrity in my eyes.
