Pyramid Watcher

He really is totally incompetent, how he keeps his position is beyond me. I’ll be amazed if they produce anything before the end of the month.

Still a long way to go, but Darvel really can’t afford many more slip ups.

Why would you not blame them?

Will there be a bond in place to put teams off dropping out midway through the season, as inevitably happens.

No, but you will generally find that SPL clubs have a greater level of sponsorship and increased revenue from other sources, not sure that can be said about “diddy teams” who in general rely on their local communities.

Great post, sums it all up perfectly.

I’m surprised John Gall isn’t giving the team talk, he has shoehorned himself into every bit of TV coverage going.

Not at all, but like many other clubs it’s not a sustainable model.

It’s definitely not a bad thing, however when it’s supplied by one man it has the potential to finish a club, if that benefactor decides to move on.

My point entirely

It shows that Brechin have had an inordinate amount of money pumped into them.

At some point the club is going to have to settle on a manager, the managerial merry go round can’t continue.

Very observant

Where to start??? Div 2 clubs are no different to LL clubs, they may actually be worse with regards to their self preservation. Ask yourself why they are looking at changing membership criteria for entry into the SPFL, it’s because they see what is coming up from below, and they don’t like it. With regards to the voting, I suspect you are probably being deliberately obtuse, however I’ll go with it. The B team clubs hold the power in Scottish football, if a vote doesn’t get past the SPL then everything is dead, it doesn’t go any further. My point was that things will only happen if they want it, but in general the SPFL 2 clubs have traditionally resisted, this time may be different.

Far from it. You are being very naive if you think that Celtic, Rangers and Hearts aren’t going to influence the pyramid structure to get the B teams in. The chances so the SPFL changing their structure is 0%, they are happy to protect themselves at all costs, so it will come via a different route.

Are you happy with a, quite frankly, ridiculous 10 team League who play each other 4 times a season? The apathy that creates should be reason enough to change things.

What do you mean just now? They’ve been doing this for years, the turnover of players and managers at the club is off the scale.

How many cups are competed for in a season by WoSFL clubs?

From memory, It’s the leagues who decide where clubs go in the event of relegation, I don’t think the clubs have a say.

The guys at CSS put in a power of work on the pitch, I saw it recently and it looked good considering the recent weather.

Imagine slagging a good grass pitch when you play on Astro.

Why should the LL and HL winners have to take place in a play-off? It’s a closed shop further up, that is one of the main sticking points.

The SoS league should not be a tier 6 league. I can see a time coming when the SFA will step in and demote them.

That’s why everything needs looked at, the 10 team league 2 is absurd.

Absolutely superb from Darvel, it was difficult to tell who the SPL team was.
