Difficult to bring attendances into any argument in Scotland, be nice to see LGE 2 clubs getting 500-1,000 but we want youngsters to also play the game AND go to spfl games, doesn't work. Would admissions of £15/20/25 be a reason not to attend , not everyone has spare cash. Is the spfl cash a large percentage of a clubs income ?

Let's hope they vote for something positive, get the feeling that leagues and clubs are waiting for guidance from somewhere and someone higher up - before landing themselves in the shite,thus taking the blame ! Seems the biggest argument is because the season didn't end - no ups or downs, everyone self interested as normal. Making fantasy football iook almost real

Maybe the club can 'forget' to repay loan. Maybe Budge 'forgot' Hearts are bottom. Maybe she 'forgot' that Hearts aren't a big club. She'll forget she's part of a football club and then betaken off to a nursing home, signs of old age I suppose, I have bad days too !

The Premier are acting like a 'closed shop' where only the elite and 'invited clubs' can enter. Let's have no relegation ever, with the bottom side playing the championship winners over so many legs until they get what they want,priceless. Hearts may go down ? Boo Hoo just grow up and bounce back straight away,simples. Makes one lose interest in the whole carry on.

Let's go backwards to make progress, regionalise the lower divisions giving more derbies, less travelling etc. Leagues of say 10 or 12 giving 6 months of football, evening kick offs would attract decent crowds ? Amazed both the English and Scots Prem divisions 'stuff you' attitude - do clubs really aspire to be part of the circus ?

Catch the trash who do this to clubs, obvious punishment - if you like or are excited by fire, then watch your own house burn, delightful. Mindless vandalism lack of respect etc seems to be happening more these days, best wishes to all clubs involved.

Null and void, no promotion or relegations as that trickles down the leagues, including play off games etc. Of course clubs will be upset, understandably, but there is no 100% foolproof remedy. Hopefully the structure for next season will help clubs,less cups,less fixtures where possible,just give clubs a chance to recover and survive, which IS the important point.

Behind closed doors, would it be possible to show live games,stream etc so that fans could pay - then the income could be passed onto the clubs ? or does the current tv deal prohibit such things ?. Am sure fans would be happy to do so IF their clubs benefitted.

Well done Brora,Kelty, just needed a ruling from the gods - all leagues null and void, but instead we get all the infighting and bitterness from clubs - the FA, SFA all clueless,couldn't decide whether to have tea or coffee without buggering it up ! Let's modernise,restructure and move on from the dismal past and create new history eh

With the new West League and the majority of clubs going along for the ride - just trying to get up to speed with things - where would the bottom division side go, would there be relegation and to where ? Thanks for yourhelp.

Can any champions be announced,and taken seriously,just a null and void - season forgotten. Now IF the new West LGE comes into being for 20/21 would any clubs lower down,be interested in stepping up to become Juniors, just to keep that level going ? Only an idea, as down south, a big possibility that clubs and leagues could disappear soon. A great shame.

The only way to get reserve teams into the league would be if the big2 were hoisted into some European LGE set up, what would that leave behind ? Can only see the spfl being regionalised before long, then they could use the floodlights for a local derbies midweek and hopefully an increase in attendances.

Guess that the youth set up needs to change next, seeing as an 18/19 year old should be almost ready for 'mens' football (after a shift down the pit) Would a two year gap in youth football be workable ? under 10/12/14/16 maybe ? Let's hope things work out and the pyramid helps clubs to grow,modernise without being crippled financially.

Quite a good idea playing two games on the same day - give the stiffs and under 18 a run out ! Sat -tues-thurs- sat that'll get the season finished with some strange results
that would be fun. Let's hope this enforced lay off gives all the spfl and LGE blazers time to come up with a cast iron plan that suits everyone - anyone hopeful ?

For spfl and juniors to resume May/June would give a good 3 months to complete the season - all leagues need to be working together, well-done to Brora after getting a vote, wonder how the spfl clubs would vote on such things ! Fingers crossed for everyone then.

Let's hope the juniors are prepared for an invasion of real ale swillers, demanding programmes,team sheets,at least 6 choices of meal, 5 different real ales etc etc ! I'm a groundhopper and realise these clubs are run by volunteers SO i expect just a game. Just back from Glasgow all arranged myself, looked around the places as well. Try and enjoy it

Really sad news,saw that people/physio's were trying to help the guy. My condolences to his family and friends, would there be any interest in raising any money for them ?,this just puts things into perspective and as mentioned we should all get home after a game.

Not sure if all junior clubs have an ambition to reach the top of a pyramid, the spfl, with all the costs of travelling,updating grounds etc.As in England it sounds nice but with very little help on committee's etc - too many clubs have folded. Natural progression is win a league and go up but not at the club's expense.

Maybe if the whole village attended every game,then the juniors could progress. Hope the leap into senior football goes well and there are no regrets , be great to see the grounds improved, crowds increase even slightly. Really love the juniors,let's see the leagues below make a step up as well - making a brilliant workable pyramid.
