stulch Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 If you get more applications next season teams might escape relegation and extra teams might be promoted. New teams in the second division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stulch Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Maybe three up, three down just next season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Created by very rough seeding, top, one division, second and third the other, fourth same division as the top one etc. etc. Then the top seven of each in the 14 team first division, bottom seven of each in the 14 team second division. Results carried forward between teams who find themselves in the same division again. The remainder of the home and away fixtures are then completed for the first and second divisions. Just an idea and of course there might not end up being 28 teams. Seven extra fixtures compared to a home and away 14 team league. So 33 fixtures for each team overall. 26 counting towards the final positions in the first division and the second division as would normally be the case. Promotion and relegation at the end of the season, two up, two down. 2019/20 is then simple league fixtures for each club. It's football, not Countdown! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just create a second division north and a second division south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stulch Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 My head hurts. It sounded more straight forward before I wrote it down! [emoji23]Basically a little qualifying round to work out the two leagues! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
never been to scotland Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Why not just play a full season of 2 x 14 playing each other twice and then have the top 14 start in the top league the following season? The bottom 14 teams could then repeat the process with the next influx (should that happen). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert McFly Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Swifts would be a good addition, good youth set up and the old amateurs had a decent following. couple of things though, they don't seem to have a senior team playing at any level? and don't have a ground? I've been at the ballast bank and it no more than a public park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 It does just seem to be a public park. Are there any other grounds in the area they could use? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious one would have been a ground share with Rosyth Juniors but they're leaving Recreation Park in a few weeks. Only other one I can think of would be at Dalgety Bay Sports Centre 3G.

The bar has been set low with Tweedmouth using Old Shielfield which is Berwick's old training ground behind the main stadium, team have to use Berwick's dressing rooms in the main stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Tbf, Tweedmouth were supposed to be installing a portacabin type pavilion during last season (there was talk of it getting craned in from the depot behind the timber yard), but it fell through. Returning to Inverkeithing... speaking of a "public park" ground normally implies being open as opposed to enclosed. It's years since I've been in Inverkeithing, but going by Google Streetview it would appear to be largely "enclosed", with a high chainlink fence separating the ground from the street and a lower wire fence separating the grass banks from the running track and pitch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I heard Tweedmouth had been given a certain amount of time to get things in place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
