I get what your saying but what is the point of creating a pyramid system if Lower Seniors and Juniors don't want to travel the distance midweek - I reckon the clubs should be asked and if they choose not to then don't allow them into the pyramid system - each club would be better getting a letter from SFA asking if they would like to participate in pyramid system. I only mentioned the Juniors in the league, opposed to the Highland League and Lowlands etc because (if memory serves me right) the juniors have done better in the Scottish Cup and have bigger crowds to sustain them (I may be wrong but just going by memory). Something has to be done though as the current system is garbage

I'd go for something along the lines of Wilkinson1998. Premier League: (16) Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts, Dundee United, Dundee, Hamilton, Ict, Ross County, Partick Thistle, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, St Johnstone, Rangers, Hibs, Falkirk, Raith Championship (16) Morton, St Mirren, Queens, Livi, Dumbarton, Alloa, Ayr, Dunfermline, Stenhousemuir, Albion Rovers, Airdrie, Peterhead, Forfar, Stranraer, Brechin League One (16) Arbroath, Annan, Montrose, Elgin, Stirling, East Stirlingshire, Berwick, Clyde, Queens Park, East Fife, Auchinleck Talbot, Bo'ness United, Bonnyrigg Rose, Rob Roy, Linlithgow Rose, Pollok Would go with the top league being the current top 16 in the country, followed by the lower 16 in a championship league, followed by league one with the bottom league with addition of the top 6 junior teams (or biggest supported clubs - just an example of junior teams) Then join the remaining non league seniors and juniors into a similar concept to create the pyramid of 3 up / 3 down - a Scottish Conference if you will, followed by North / East / West regions below that. I liked the idea of allowing all teams in Scotland from Amateur to Seniors being allowed to participate (if they wanted) in "big" Scottish Cup and allow smaller clubs to also participate in their Junior / Amateur Scottish Cups.
