Stranraer continue to fight against relegation after inquiry bid fails
Stranraer have vowed to battle on in their quest to overturn a decision that saw them relegated after the Scottish league season was brought to an early finish.
The team sat bottom of the League One table in March when the coronavirus crisis put a halt to the 2019/20 campaign.
On Tuesday a meeting of all SPFL clubs was held at the request of Premier League Rangers - and backed by Stranraer - calling for an independent inquiry into the decision to terminate the season.
They needed 32 votes in their favour to force the probe, but the task force failed to reach any agreement with only thirteen votes.
Despite this, Stranraer chairman Iain Dougan says the club are not yet ready to accept their fate and says they are continuing to “explore every avenue.”
"There have been various persons suggesting that a line is now drawn on this matter, and we subsequently now move on for the greater good of the game," he said.
"If I may state, this is an extremely easy analysis to arrive at when you have no concerns, nor were adversely affected by actions of recent decisions.
"I make no apologies for the fact that it is not in my nature to concede all too easily, or indeed remain silent, nor accept any decision that I feel is unjust towards our football club - a club that I am extremely proud to serve as chairman.
"As such, I intend, with the full backing of my committee, to explore all avenues in order to properly redress, with fellow like-minded clubs to achieve what I believe is the righting of wrongs on so many fronts.
