What is galling about this clusterf### is that 3 teams are deemed as being punishable for so far having a crap season in exchange for the majority of 39 other accepting. Loads of turkeys are having the chance to opt out of Christmas.  It should be seen as a fundamentally unfair proposal no matter what team you support.

I can only hope Dundee go with the original indication of rejecting this. 

It raises an interesting question. If there was no coronavirus how many clubs would vote to fInish a season early? Probably a fair few.

Is this an opinion or is it based on some inside information? The reasons I ask are that:

1. Up until your post all other posters are saying Dundee would vote or voted No, and also

2. Some posters are saying Dundee have actually stated they have or were going to vote No! 

Notwithstanding the Hobson's Choice which you point out I would have thought Dundee would have been well aware of the implications for them of a no vote! 

Away games at ICT & Dundee for me next season (being hopeful) and that's it! 

Or in the alternative away games at Falkirk and Dumbarton who voted no and I’m also thinking Montrose also voted no

Only 2 being relegated,ourselves and Stranraer. Brechin getting out off it. Also Brora/Kelty and Bonnyrigg all missing out in a chance of getting into the 2nd division via play offs.

Anyone got a spare calculator for our well informed former manager ...  answers in a sealed white envelope please

 

 
Scottish football is a shambles. Why open it up to clubs, they are always going to vote for their own existence. Perfect time for a change 14/12/12 league system in Scotland. No need to punish any team at this time !!!!

Kheredine Idessane & others on BBC Sportsound just now saying they've seen THREE signed and dated NO ballot forms from ICT, PTFC & Dundee.

Dundee also requested after 5pm yesterday, that the SPFL did not count their vote at that time.

Plot thickens.

Whatever Dundee do now will attract criticism from one set of clubs or another.  They are increasingly in a difficult situation.

Was including  inclusion of hearts assuming no further gerrymandering . Brechin are one of the lucky turkeys . The others don't matter as far as the spfl are concerned and technically are no worse off..

Michael Stewart saying that many premier league teams were against the proposal but voted yes to release money for the lower league clubs.

His solution is release money now & have an independent vote on ending season.

Another technical issue with the hearts no vote too apparently - contacted and resubmitted no vote. 

Surely now there should be calls for an independent organisation to run the ballots for the SPFL - dirty barstewards that they are.

ICT chair saying all chairmen talking on WhatsApp in hours leading into the vote. 

On the afternoon of the vote, the three clubs were solid as NO votes - they had a discussion to all vote at the same time to show solidarity however that was not possible. They opted to share photos of signed ballot papers with all clubs on the WA.

PTFC sent in theirs at 2.52pm

DFC sent in theirs at 4.24pm along with their online club statement.

ICT did theirs at 4.39pm.

At 4.52pm DFC noted that vote has been submitted.

 

These are facts presented by ICT chairman on BBC Sportsound.

He says ICT were not yet on their knees - however were on "one knee" - and could easily have taken the 330k for finishing second as it would alleviate problems on the horizon.

Huge respect to someone/club setting aside money and seeing the bigger picture.
