Originally from Perth and now in the wild wild West of Lothian via Dundee and Edinburgh. Looking at the game from neither the home or away perspective........

@The_Thirty_ Disagree when it is a 10 team league, if it was 14 then 2 automatic and a play off would be realistic.

As for disadvantages, the number of games played in league and playoffs is the same for 11th and 2nd. 3rd and 4th play 2 more, which is right for finishing in a lower place.

@jamesblack1986 No we don’t. The owners do. We would actually like you lot to not go near our ground - we like to keep it clean.

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@jamesblack1986 Appreciate it was before your time, given you’ve only been doing it for a decade,

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@jamesblack1986 I don’t need to bother with your history - a bit like your club.

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@jamesblack1986 Congratulations. Keep up the good work

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@jamesblack1986 Big team found though

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@jamesblack1986 Nope

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@AnalysingTSP Because the “English” football league operated its rules how they wished it to being things the first time a club was being punished for such an offence. The “Scottish” football league operated their rules as they’re written and had been operated previously.

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@jamesblack1986 They couldn’t have as they had not submitted audited accounts. They held entry level until the audited accounts were submitted, which I believe was 2014.

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@jamesblack1986 However precedent was set with Rangers meaning that existing entrants do not require to follow that.

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@jamesblack1986 However the rules are for entering the league. Not for remaining in the league

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

If that was any other club (other than the other “Glasgow” lot) then we’d already have the @spfl deducting points and the game void. Absolute crap - add in the classless nonsense from @CelticFC players, staff and fans. There is no way they should get 3 stands at @StJohnstone

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@scottmillar1 @BarryAnderson_ It’s amazing how much stock the media put into the “KMI panel” both sides of the border. These panels are independent, have 1 match official on them and contain players, coaches (of low levels) or league secretaries (including from the lowland, EoS etc)

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@Browning84Greg 4th place currently gets 2nd qualifying round of conference (3 rounds to group stage). Rangers currently conference 3rd (2 rounds). Pars win cup they get Europa 3rd (2 rounds)
If Celtic win cup then Rangers get Europa 3rd, 4th gets conference 3rd and 5th conference 2nd

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@StJohnstone I’m sorry Fran but this has been a catastrophic couple of days for yourself and the owners as the positivity around the club has been wasted just like the double was in 2021.

Also seems a bit rich to think 40 or 50 fans is “many” given there has been 4K regularly this season.

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@StAnalysis Fran is out there trying to justify the use of a strategy firm with no knowledge of the market . He’s not cut out for this type of role.
Figures are way off for what is quoted. Based on every east stand OF fan paying adult we need to play 6 times for £500k revenue (not profit)

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@StAnalysis Have seen it mentioned it’s circa 2300 seats (without the padded seats) for around 2750 season tickets holders last season.

[Gavin Thomson @chopperthomson]

@JimSpenceDundee Not if there’s too many season tickets holders for the one stand we would be getting for that game. I await to be proven wrong but season tickets numbers were higher than main stand capacity last season. Take out increased hospitality seats and it’s ridiculous
