PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
DUNDEE FC POINTS DEDUCTION (1 November 2010)
Motion Details
That this House supports Dundee Football Club during its time of financial difficulty; hopes that the Scottish Football League may reconsider its decision to deduct 25 points from the team; recognises that the financial problems faced by Dundee FC are similar to problems faced by companies across Scotland and the UK, and punishments such as these are only likely to cause further harm; and asks the UK Government and the Scottish Executive to look sympathetically on historic community organisations such as 117-year old Dundee FC.
