Default could biggotry spread to epl if of join

I personally think it would all of a sudden teams would be labelled as prodestant teams etc... this could take the heat off rangers and celtic but we don't want it spreading.

This is the only thing I have against the old firm joing epl or nationwide or whatever because you'd have to kill me to stop me getting a season ticket if rangers joined a better and british league.

What do you mean all teams would be labelled as Protestant?

prodestant/catholic. some teams will be labelled prodestant, others catholic which will just divide the two further because it will spread from rangers and celtic.

The meeting will be held later today about that I think, Personally I dont think it would work unless the championship was better this year, the last 4 have been crap.

I wasn't sure what you meant at first but no that wouldn't happen. I'm not sure how every club could be labelled as one religon or another.

Some of the english clubs can be, like liverpool and everton, I believe everton were the traditionally catholic team in liverpool and pool were the traditionally protestant.
As I said though it wouldnt happen.

I can't imagine it becoming a big deal. If anything, I think it would become MORE about the football than ever, and that is a very good thing.

Right. But those are the only clubs I know of that have a well known religous history and I don't think that's even a big part of the rivalry.

I'm sure there'd be heated rivalries and high risk matches if the Old Firm were to move to the Premiership or Nationwide Division.
