If the top west superleague clubs get licensed and start being promoted into the LL along with Bo'ness, Lithgae etc, how long until Spartans, EKFC, BSC and Civil Service Strollers are relegation strugglers? There's a reason why the topic of LL2 was being raised at LL general meetings last season. An east-west split is a form of LL2 that gives more of the current membership a legitimate shot at hanging around long term so that they are usually one unusually good season away from the SPFL.
