Ro Sham Bo Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Saw this about German League online not sure if theirs any truth in it but could it be an option? No relegation and top 2 in each division promoted, with both HL and LL promoting one. Next season whenever that is increased relegation to reset it back to normal, season might even need to be play each other x 3 as I doubt it’ll start on time. Prem - No one relegatedChamp - DUFC/ICTFC promotedL1 - RRFC / Falkirk promotedL2 - Cove / Edinburgh promotedHL / LL Brora / Kelty Promoted Only other option is season null and void and everyone stays where they are, I don’t see how you can declare champions in leagues with games to go or relegate teams. Works for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s not perfect but I still think summer football is a good idea. The majority in here appear not to agree though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it ok to reward teams by promotion based on 3/4 of a season but not relegate bottom teams in similar circumstances. Brechin and Stranraer are both pretty much tied on to finish last in their respective leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 That promotion system seems utterly batshit man. Mainly because we could do with keeping the Raith/Falkirk blue pound in our coffers... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Aye that sounds shite. Either this season's a bogey and we start again once the virus is gone or we just decide to do 1up/1down or 2up/2down based on latest standings. McGlynn's getting himself in some wee state about it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many times in the past the suits have saved their favourites. All the teams at the foot of their tables have been gash for most of the season and there should be no arguments. Or you Could Give Celtic the league and relegate Hearts. Promote Dundee Utd, relegate QoS. In the important league, promote promote RR and have Falkirk play Thistle behind closed doors. Relegate Stranraer and have play off with Forfar and Edin City. From L2 promote Cove and have play off from closed doors HL / LL winner playing Brechin in closed door. Don't want this to happen as I think we will be exposed to more danger by going on bus / train in everyday life, but we could arrange these play offs starting next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not only a majority in here or in the stands though, ask any player in Scotland if they're happy taking their "summer" holiday in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic_17_uk Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Would like to see all teams do what EFTV has done and introduce subscription for live games, should they move to playing behind closed doors. The restriction on UK fans watching live should be lifted for the duration of the Covid19 crisis. This would at least bring in some revenue for the clubs, who will take a hit financially. I suppose the alternative to closed door games is simply to postpone them but for how long? That option could be more disruptive and unworkable, should the situation continue beyond a few weeks. It would be good if the SPFL could help clubs deal with the financial repercussions of this through allowing live streaming of games on pay per view basis.The issue of the 3pm Saturday blackout is an easy one to get around. If there's no fans there, just make all games 12:30 or 5:15 kick offs.Can't see games going ahead though, even behind closed doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially at this level were it isn't their main source of income.It seems to be passing quickly amongst players due to all the physical contact, dressing rooms etc. Can't see them been happy to increase their chance of getting then having to self isolate for two weeks and take time off work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results so far have them well adrift at the bottom of the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
