  1. Thank you for the feedback, guys. I take it on-board 're: the 18 teams over 16, I just thought you could relegate two teams with enough notice and enough teams voting for it.

    My big question is to supporters of the likes of Albion Rovers, Stenhousemuir, Elgin City, teams that will likely always be in the bottom 18: how do you feel about a bigger league?

    Yes it's bigger and has more variety of fixtures but is in all likelihood the only league they'll ever be in, if not relegated. I always hear fans want bigger leagues but do they really in the context above or do they prefer the current four tier set up where they could win League Two realistically although in a ten team league?

  2. Interesting discussion!

    To get a realistic solution I think you need to balance what we'd like with not changing too much. So something like this seems possible to me:

    Premiership

    - 12 teams

    - 32 games (h&a, split, h&a)

    - Two down automatic

    Championship

    - 12 teams

    - 32 games as above

    - Champions up automatic

    - 2nd-5th playoffs, winner up

    - Two down automatic

    League 1 (needs rebranded)

    - 16 teams, would understand 18 though.

    - H&A = 30 games or 34 games if 18 teams.

    - Champions up automatic

    - 2nd-5th playoffs as above

    - Two down automatic

    Lowland League Premier & Highland League Premier

    - Difficult to choose numbers for LL. HL talking of dividing in two. TBC. Also difficult to decide members, may need to negotiate some juniors in LL.

    - Both Champions up automatic.

    LL East Premier-LL West Premier

    - Ape the Junior Superleagues below the LL Premier and the District divisiins below. Not much changes for the junior teams which is what hey se to want.

    - Winner of each promoted to LL premier.

    HL East-HL North

    - As above but dividing HL North and East due to geography.

    - HL talking of diving in two at the minute so perhaps just a HL tier of one below HL Premier.

    Thoughts? Willing to explain my thinking if you disagree. Cheers.
