I advocate for a better tier 5, absolutely. I don't see why you cant have a 3 league tier 5 with no B teams. For me it should be HL, EoS and WoS at tier 5, the LL teams then get allocated to the prem div of either EoS or WoS wherever they fall.

You don't advocate for a better tier 5, you advocate for a different tier 5. IMO having three leagues at tier 5 instead of two obviously makes them weaker. It's a bigger and worse drop for a team being relegated from the SPFL to go into a LL East or West than the current LL. You advocate this because you are a WoS dinosaur who thinks the west is magic and should be preserved.

I fundamentally believe all clubs should be able to host a Saturday match whenever the match secretary casts fixtures without the need to move games across multiple leagues. 

Football at professional level/semi professional level should be played on good quality grass pitches

Good for you. We all know you think that because you post it everywhere. That doesn't make you right, it's just a feeling.

I have seen my fair share of SoS games also I have seen results with East and West sides against SoS teams. 

 

You are barking up the wrong tree if you believe the SoS is on a par with WoS prem or EoS prem. You are deluded to suggest otherwise. Look at Threave they haven't achieved back to back promotions which tell you how the strongest SoS team compares in WoS. 

 

It couldn't matter less that the SoS is a lower standard; it's the highest level of football in its region below tier 5.

Arbitrarily picking a level below tier 6 for the SoS would be channelling everything that's worst about football elitism.

.On the flip side cover for 500 at Bronze? for me 100 seats and cover for 100/200 is more than enough alongside the other facilities.

The League 2 average was 596 last season, three clubs had four figure attendances. Are you really fine with having that many folk standing about outside for two hours in the Scottish winter? Remember these clubs regularly play full-time teams in the League Cup as well.
