Spyro Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 4 hours ago, searchers1963 said: The clubs refused them. Some with the usual you will play first team players. What do they bring to the league whether it had longevity to some people not wanting to play on Friday nights Fair enough. I said if they tightened the player registration rules and played a regular schedule (like Stirling Uni) it would be good, but if they are playing Friday night (when other teams have fringe players playing under 20's), not committed for more than 1 season and wanting to move players between teams when they want, then they need to find themselves a proper reserve league to play in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they didn't have enough players to put two weekend sides out, plus they were short of money a while back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does scream of stability and probably a headache EoS teams could do without. Why should half the players in Division 3 have to be available for Friday night games just so some Premier League team can play a few kids in their league? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Livingston will be struggling to field a team at tier 2 unless their legal saga about ownership somehow works in their favour. Absolutely no chance that their Walter Mitty model could be relied on to maintain a B team outside the top flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 If Broxburn/Edinburgh University switch places and Rosyth going under. Am I right in thinking the divisions next year will now be: 16-16-15-11 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Surely going to 16-16-16-11 if Broxburn go up is the sensible thing to do as that would match this season - otherwise you'd have a 28 game Second Division and 33 game Third Division...

Don't think it can be 16-16-16-11. It's either 4 down all the way or 4 up all the way depending on a deficit or surplus from the LL Play-off. Broxburn go up its 16-16-15-11 SoS/WoS go up it'd be 16-16-15-12. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowenan Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Should be possible to do 16-16-16 and the rest in the bottom league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
