Pyramid Watcher Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I get that there is a sentimental attachment to Rovers, but playing a club 4 times every season is at the best repetitive, at the worst outright boring. The whole point of the “pyramid” is to freshen things up with new clubs, so outwith the b teams argument, surely new clubs in the league would freshen things up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to start asking your club questions (general comment, not aimed at anyone). If the Conference happens, then B teams will be in the SPFL in 5 years time IMO. If the conference happens, 'B' teams will be in league 2 within 2 years at the very most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need wee shitey colt bum lickers in the league, so Spartans can f**k off. Playing a club 4 times a season has nothing to do with new clubs being promoted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for an answer outwith the B team argument. There seems to be a feeling of it’s “a good day out” or “I like going to their ground” for wanting them to stay in the league, do fans not want to see it freshened up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competition keeps leagues interesting, not necessarily the clubs taking part in it. I would have automatic relegation from League 2 but right now that's not the case and Spartans still need to earn their way in. If they can't beat a misfiring Albion Rovers then maybe they won't add as much to the competition as you seem to think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging on yesterday’s game I would say there is nothing between the 2 teams, perhaps we will see a gulf next Saturday. I think Spartans have the potential to develop into a SPFL side, they have the infrastructure behind them and should be able to compete financially with a majority of league 2 teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be automatic promotion for at least 1 club.The self preservation in Scottish football is astonishing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans are wholeheartedly against this outside of a OF fans and few absolute weirdos, so this thread will be fairly quiet until clubs say something. I’d quietly suggest that chairmen learned from the Rangers debacle and are holding a line of silence til after season ticket renewals go through, then announcing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
