Aye but a free hit at the play off. @Marshmallo @virginton Instead of the petty red dots can you answer the question please? A lot of shouting aboot the LL opening up relegation spots (rightly so) can you confirm the HL are doing so this season with the Midlands opening up? Where does their champion club go subject to licensing? It's no just the LL that needs a complete reboot.

Its quite self preservation minded with the bottom HL having the chance to save themselves. Unfortunately for right now there isnt the depth below the HL to make an argument for much more. That will hopefully only last until the next SFA AGM where a handful of clubs get licensed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many at T6 in the South? Edited September 17, 2021 by invergowrie arab 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, they’ve nothing to gain either, but if they continue to insist that only the champion clubs can be nominated for the playoffs, then what’s stopping the LL from simply doing that and putting a whole load of cats amongst the pigeons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Not sure if G51 is at the wind up with this no leverage angle but potentially having to at a minimum refund the OF their 50k, potentially losing out on a Club 42 playoff entry this season because Rangers B look likely to win it all at this point, and also potentially not being able to relegate Vale of Leithen for the umpteenth time if they do opt to empty the Old Firm at this point because the validity of all games played under Version 16 may be open to challenge if they revert to Version 15 a third of the way in, may be enough of a nuisance factor to make a limited number of future trips over the Tay Bridge for league games palatable.

The sell outs have completely fucked this. They can blame Fraser if they want, but they also need to look at themselves. Why were they so desperate to suck up to the OF that they didn’t question any of the bullshit? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Banks o' Dee wanted in the Highland League, they've had plenty of opportunity over the last decade. They even got invited when Cove went up and they turned it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see the relevance of the North pyramid to the Lowland League annually trying to stave off relegation and replacement by a stack of licensed clubs below them in the South.

Lets relegate say half a dozen every season from the LL to suit the "stacks" of clubs in the South. You got it right there "stacks" of clubs in the top heavy pyramid. Cant help the countries geography why should the LL open up more relegations when theres no much room for movement from the HFL at the same level? Theres yer stumbling block.

Oh such pure whataboutery The HFL is a 100 year old league with established community clubs (and FW) with a at most a dozen clubs underneath capable of addin value to the league. The LL is the opposite. A rag tag bunch of students, 11 lads who bought a set of strips and pissweak clubs who shod have been empied from the league years ago holding up the progress of established community clubs with things like fans and grounds. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
