    Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts must be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the pandemic in Scottish football. Through no fault of their own they've been promoted through the league stopping a couple seasons ago then also avoided relegation through the league being declared null and void last season. Obviously well improved this season.

    Wow, let the haters hate.....

    There are houses quite close at the back of one of the goals.

    Suppose when folk moved into them they would expect some noise from the football pitch but not for a team with spectators to take over the site.

    Houses on Halbeath Rd and those on Pratt St (Raith) are much closer. Unbelievable. Ps What's a NIMBY lol

    "There was an agreement in place, 'but...'".   But what? But there is an agreement in place - end of story.  

    "it's very unfortunate on the teams being relegated..."  has a very 'unfortunate' arrogant reek about it.

    One possible new proposal / question might be something like:

    "Answer Yes or No: Should a winner be nominated based on PPG over the past two incomplete seasons?".

    That way, at least there is one winner and nobody else is any worse off than they would be if the league stuck to the original agreement, which was with all the clubs.

    What's the problem having another season with 18 teams in the Premier? 

    Another season? We haven't even had half a one yet lol

    But it already has been agreed: if the season can't get to 50% of fixtures it is null and void.  And that's that - There should be no further discussion or entertaining any proposed changes at this late stage.  

    Almost half the clubs did not believe the season should have started in the first place, and that viewpoint has now been vindicated. 

    It must simply start afresh on exactly the same basis as this season, but with an extra conference. 

    No promotion, no relegation and no penalties for any of the reluctant participants.

    100% last season was unique. There was no heads up a pandemic was gonna hit. Season was curtailed in APRIL near the end of season some teams had played nearly 20 games. No one could complain about teams who went up.

     

    This season we all knew where we stood starting. 50% or N&V. To potentially promote a team who has played 7 and relegate 4 (of those 2 teams have played 10) isn't right.

    Gonny calm down? The volunteers that have to make these decisions aren't trying to get them wrong or piss anyone off. They've got a lot to weigh up and whatever way they go they shouldn't get abuse or criticism for it.

    Also, just while I'm here, there's never any need for more than one comma at a time and it doesn't help you make your point.

    What decision? Its 50% or null and void. Clear as day. Only decision is whether there's a restart.

  6. It was agreed 50% completion or null and void. Everyone knew what the script was. I understand the Kelty situation as it would be unfair after what happened last season not to give them a chance of a cracking at league 2. Don't think anyone could grudge that.

    Council mucking around. I dont k how why they dont get the developer to upgrade the fleet grounds 

    Its owned by south west Fife Trust. Although although Rosyth are primary users they don't have authority to take full control. Not to say they couldn't get a formal lease and develop it bit that's why they can't as it stands.

    The pragmatic solution is to complete the season to halfway and settle on PPG as agreed by clubs but now seems unlikely, or null & void as agreed by clubs.

    Clubs didn't agree on the 50% scenario. That was a board decision. Not that it may make any difference, just clarifying.
