Gary Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Which Junior/HFL clubs do you think would be well suited in the Football League? Say for discussions sake the League was to expand and 5 or 6 Juior clubs would be brought in to make the lower three divisions have 12 teams, which 5 or 6 would you bring in to Div 3, and i would suggest base it on club size, fan base and prev success I would look at Edinbro' City, Huntly, and Wick - Just to pee off away fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIFTHEBINO Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I'm not sure about Highland league teams,but there is some junior teams that get huge crowds each week.You look at Maryhill,Linlithgow Rose,Hill O Beth,Kilwinning Rangers,etc can pull huge crowds and would be an asset to the SFL.Surely league reconstruction underneath the 3rd would be a good idea.Split into 2 North and South leagues which would have all the best highland,south and junior teams in it.This would give Clydebank a chance of getting back into the Sfl!

igor Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Linlithgow Rose, and Glenrothes Juniors, purely because they have so many ex East Fifers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flow Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Bellshill Athletic may be a good shout. Building a cracking new stadium, and have Tommy Coyne as manager. Not to mention players like Rab McKinnon and Paul McGrillen, im sure they could do not bad at all in the SFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 How many do Linlithgow get? Any Ideas, same goes for Maryhill, cant be many, i spent hours the other day trying to find a decent Maryhill site ahead of our friendly with them and there was naff all about.

BerwickMad Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I would say Dunbar United for selfish reasons. Its about time Berwick had an away game that wasnt over 80 miles away. I can just imagine, an early start in Berwick, then a 20 min train journey up the coast for a few more pints in Dunbar, then a hard fought derby match. Well we need a derby, coz Gala f**kin Fairydeen are never gonna get into the league after all of their failed tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous 7-0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 linithgow rose got 1500+ for an OVD cup game last season, you might have seen it on scotsport. i'm with BM though, more border clubs in the SFL! get the locals away from f'kin egg chasing.

bluetooner Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Yep im sure that would. THe travel would still kill a good night out however... Id miss about 3-4 home games a season cos too drunk to get up early enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Well we need a derby, coz Gala f**kin Fairydeen are never gonna get into the league after all of their failed tries. And long may that continue. That ground is a total toilet. Nothing atall to do with them beating us in the Scottish Cup 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WELL-MADE Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I would love to see Junior and Highland League sides getting includsed in a shake up of the leagues but I wouldn't make any league with 12 teams in it. It would be a minimum of 16 in 2 leagues (would even be happy with 18) playing each other twice 2 up 2 down and maybe even a play off between 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th with the winner taking on the 3rd bottom team of each league. Below this a conference style league based on the same promotion and relegation and all other leagues pyramided into this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k38jfb Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I would have a 16-team SPL, and two 16-team SFL divisions. The 6 teams I would welcome into the SFL are two Highland League teams, 2 West of Scotland teams, and one each from the South and East leagues. The leagues would be a simple play-each-other-twice, two up-two down format. Below the second SFL division would be a 'conference' league made up of 16 teams - 4 each from their respective leagues in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
