If you are going to go about "fixing" Scottish football then you really need to get off to go a good start. Diving in head first using language which will immediately get everyone's back up is just going to mean you will end up getting pilloried and your idea rubbish. Change fixing to "making Scottish football better". Don't talk about too many clubs, talk about league reconstruction from the top to the bottom and vica versa. There is a way to get what she is wanting, from reading these thread people enjoy local games but still like the odd far travelled day out. I would love to see a top two league set up with 32 teams, 16 and 16. Below that regional leagues. But the regional leagues need to involve everyone. Seniors and juniors language needs binned. Professional, semi professional and amateur is what we need with a pyramid from bottom to top. It will never happen and for that I blame the juniors. Only the SFA can fix it but they don't have the balls. Regional leagues will never be drawn up by straight lines. That's just common sense. I'd keep a northern and southern as the split below the 2nd national league. Below that you could split into 3, probably 4 but maybe even 5 different areas, below that you go as local as you want. No one is killing off teams. Just giving them a level to play at. A level where they can aim as high as they can but a safety net where failure doesn't mean death. If clubs die, it's because they have been run poorly and over spent money they didn't have. That can happen at any level whether you are Rangers, Gretna, Ballingry or Tarff Rovers.
