Then the club should have applied within the deadline, its not difficult!

I still prefer 16-14-14 as I do think that four divisions are two small.

and more importantly, what is the promotion/relegation situation for each division, including from the LL and HLs?

Not if there's no relegation to the LL or HL leagues Now that would be wrong and against the principle of the Pyramid. It would be going backward. That cannot happen.

and so will the HL and LL champions be disadvantaged, my team, Dundee and so many others will be disadvantaged. Yours in the least disadvantaged as you actually haven't been disadvantaged.

It would be the bottom tier of the SPFL. The Tier system doesnt stop at the SPFL, thats the point of the pyramid.

Only that there is no promotion for the HL or LL.

What nonsense. It is not a relegation. By the same token that means that Cove's 'promotion' will not be a promotion. Clyde will still be in tier 3, no relegation.

So if the proposed tier 3 isn't the bottom tier, what is the bottom tier? Tier 4 - LL and HL, tier 5 EOS, SOS and the new WOS leagues!!!!

I am but must have missed it. All I can find is Hamilton wanting it to be permanent but Hearts not.

Is this proposal a permanent reconstruction or are Hearts going to get their way and revert back to the current in a few years time and is there any change in the future relegation from the lower division?

So who makes the final decision on this? Is it the 42 clubs, the 12 premier clubs or the reconstruction committee?

Whilst I understand that, I thought this was for the benefit of all Scottish football not just Hearts. What I dont understand is the voting method. Is it the majority of all 42 clubs, not just the 12?

I think a 16-14-14 would benefit most people including the lower leagues as they would move up a tier (e.g LL from tier 5 to tier 4).

Thank you.

Can someone help me with details of the two other new clubs. I need the club colours and home park of Scourie and Loch Ness? Thanks

Might need to await the SPFL re-structuring. LL and HL have been included with the prospect of the two champs being promoted which leave space for an automatic promotion place for Tier 6. It will then depend on how the EOS and SOS plan filling the promoted spots.

I think it did back then but im thinking that with the pyramid coming in there are a developing number of potential quality which need space to grow in a larger league set up. Im still in for 16-14-14.

Thanks. Maybe its just the Cup that lower level teams cant control. Lets hope

Yep, Lachlan is keen on big leagues so prefers an 18 or 20 top flight

https://spfl.co.uk/news/reconstruction-group-announced When I tweeted him he said that he is in favour of a bigger league of 18 or 20.

KIRCALDY AND DYSART THORNTON HIBS KENNOWAY STAR HEARTS LOCHGELLY ALBERT NEWBURGH LOCHORE WELFARE LUNCARTY ROSYTH Plus EYEMOUTH UNITED returning and a one from EDINBURGH SOUTH YOUTH CLUB.

Agreed, id go for 16 14 14 and back down to 3 divisions

Do lower league clubs have the final say in whether or not Colts get in? If so I feel happier that it wont happen.

agreed and bringing the league to a 16-14-14 set up and bringing in the LL and HL champs for the extra two teams, NOT OF colts
