[League set up 2015]

To be honest I don't think playing each other 3 times makes much or any real difference at this level what with crowds of 15-50 to play in front of. Even amateur teams think they have an advantage by playing at home, it's all in the mind because what might that advantage be, a 50,000 crowd roaring them on or 1 man and a dog?

They do it or did it in the SPFL didn't they before they split for the top 6 and only then do they get a 4th game against teams in the top or bottom 6 depending where they end up. I watched a game at Easthouses once where the home support was outnumbered by three to one but there was still only 18 people there.

The season just finished shows that LTHV and Easthouses both won 8 home and away, lost 2 home and away and drew 2 home and away. Both of them in fact had a better away record than home record because of their away goal difference.

Leith won 7 away and 7 at home

Tynecastle 5 home wins v 4 away wins but same number of H&A defeats

Craigroyston 1 home and 3 away wins

Some teams prefer playing away from home because their own pitches are so bad in the winter months.

If you look at the leagues closer you'll find only 2 of the 17 teams won more points away than at home so it's clear playing at home even at this level has its advantages. It's nothing to do with playing in front of a home crowd as you say but more the travelling especially when it's long distances or night games. Players not being able to make it or turning up late due to work and other commitments.

Need to be playing either 2/4 times a season to make it fair for every team, sure that I'll be the case next year if easthouses are out and 16 teams left.
