St.Ricky Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Looking at Morton's run in they play several of our closest rivals. Come on the Ton! Never thought I would say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Saints Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 It's 100% in our own hands. We can't look or expect favours. I wouldn't trust that Morton team even against Ayr. They been rotten for weeks. We will secure our own safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Urquhart Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) One thing is certain, the Morton chairman will not want us to go down. Not many other clubs can take almost 2,000 paying fans to Cappilow on a wet Tuesday night, that is for sure.

madmitch Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Morton need a maximum of 4 points from 4 games to secure a play off spot. Don't see them busting a gut on our behalf tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see them busting a gut on our behalf tbh. It's because they need 4 points for a play off place that I have suggested that inadvertently their success might aid our success. But....as others have said...we still have to do the business and rely on no one other than ourselves. But...the fates or the fixture list have brought them into the picture in our run in.

Morton need us more than we need them. They want to be 2nd so less play off games for them and can't do that without our help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too costly - especially when you think of the 'customer experience' last night. Too much infrastructure costs to contend with. That said, I would think they'd be happy to be involved in as many play-off games as possible, with the income that might bring? So as long as they're in play-offs it's a win-win. Until they lose.

stlucifer Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hibs have a lot to say about it. Dundee Utd. also to play Ayr and Dumbarton. At this time of the season almost every team have a say. The most important team who can help us is US. Not anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 At this stage in the season anything goes- Outside Bairns and Us there is no form book on winning in Last 10, QOS / Pars have ok records but we don't play them, Hibs 2 wins in last 10, United just stopped rot, Ton in freefall, as are Raith and Ayr lost last 3...... The fact we have/ had top 4 all away I think helps us, as Jack said, none of these teams will sit back...... and I would also imagine that Bairns or United wished they had anyone but us...... Feb we were 1/5 for drop, we are now 12/1. We did that all by ourselves and TBH Sons and Ayr have won games we didn't think they would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they will want to go up They were able to play games against Rangers last season at home so no reason why not next season ? A lot of the money from the play off games go to the league that help to pay the team that drop out of the championship, so teams in this league don't make much money out of the playoffs.

linwood bud Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 No it's not premiership compliant, it needs 6000 seats with a back of at least 30cm. All seats must be individually numbered and all seats must be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
