that would go down really well with EVERYONE

sounds like a newspaper fantasy to stir up debate. how would that even work? would they get FA and FL approval to move ground or even play in the league like that?

 

[mune ni kamome]

They must be forced into playing their games at Gigg Lane then or it would not be fair to make visitors travel up to Glasgow.

Not going to happen in a million years.

April Fool. Someone's fiddled with the Sun's calendars

Exactly. Wasn't there a plan by Wimbledon to play games in Dublin (before the MK plans came to fruition)? If this was allowed, there'd be nothing stopping someone in Qatar buying a team and playing out in the desert: it's a completely made-up story.

A frightening thought! even worse if we drew them for a tuesday night away game.

What I don't understand is the hostility from other clubs in the SPL, don't they realise if you weaken rangers you weaken celtic, if you weaken the OF the whole league is f***ed.

No, it would be f***ing awesome. I might finally get to see a game.

On the radio this morning that the most likely event will see Rangers in the Scottish first division. No mention of this non-story. Mischief making from the sun I suspect.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

How can they buy...they're broke and Haggis does'nt go far these days.

 

[AMEXican Wave]

I'm sure UEFA would love this. We'd have Barcelona, Real, Bayern, Milan etc. buying clubs to create a Euro League via the Premier League.

Can't ever see it being allowed.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

If there is even the slightest truth in the suggestion that the new Rangers owner thinks this is an idea worth pursuing, it proves that the club has been sold to an idiot who understands nothing.

 

[Mackenzie]

As long as they move to Bury and the team is called Bury, I can't see a problem.

Exactly this, they don't have any money, not even to buy Bury, what a load of rubbish.

Was there not a story going the rounds a couple of years ago that the Premier Division wanted to play each other 3 times per season with one of them being played either in USA Middle or Far east. So perhaps it is not totally beyond the realms of possibility.

There was a suggestion of a 39th game, to be played in the far East, but it quickly died a death. But even that madcap idea wasn't based on the idea that clubs would actually be based in Asia.

 

[Vicar!]

Why not go the whole hog and buy Pompey! The press would have a field day with that one.

Of course it's true, the s*n is always a well known credible source.
