East Fife is best Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 So from what information has been published by clubs and various outlits all we can make out is what clubs have left or will leave if they formally accept within the next 7 days That would mean that as things stand and how they should play out over the remaining games that Fauldhouse and Tayport will be in the super league with an other depending on who is next best in the table come the season end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However as none of Bonnyrigg, Camelon or Hill of Beath, the 3 leavers were likely to be involved in the bottom 3 SL places, it is possible that more than 3 Prem teams will be required. Do Forfar WE get saved automatically (Assume they are bottom) ? Who knows. Not sure if constitution covers this. When Lochee Utd, Broughty, Carnoustie & Forfar West End exit the "East" to go "North" as likely end of next season, there will be more questions.

In previous years whenever teams have "departed (Kelty, Ballingry, Falkirk etc) relegation has been reduced accordingly. So I would suspect that there will be no relegation from the Super and the top three teams from the Premier that are not defecting will join them. That is unless they decide to reduce the top two divisions to twelve teams instead of getting rid of the Premier in which case there may be no promotion.

As I've said earlier in another thread scrapping the premier moves us from a highly competitive division in which every team can beat each other to a local league in which the bottom teams will concede close to a hundred goals. For me keeping a 16 team premier and amalgamating the north and south into a 17 strong league is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the wish again no doubt. You wont get the likes of Forfar Albion or Brechin Vics voting for league games at Stoneyburn, West Calder, Harthill etc and vice versa, probably rightly so.

TheLad Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Whichever way they choose to reconstruct the leagues for next season, it will have some clubs and their supporters regretting their decision to stay put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn’t be further from the truth . You suggested seeing me today and I’ve told you where I will be. The invitation is still open as I’m keen to see if you are as arrogant in person as you are behind a keyboard. Prepared to wait until around 7pm if that helps.

pie n beans Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Their is no way a team from the south division could go up and compete at superleague level, the teams from the premier have struggled this season, you really do need a budget to reflect your superleague status. But then again the superleague will be weaker with the teams leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I missed something here did someone actually suggest that,coz I can't see it anywhere.Plus if that were to happen which it won't I'm sure some of the teams left in premier league would have something to say about that.

Sorry for the confusion, i meant if they did away with the premier division and just had 2 leagues, a south and a superleague. I don't think it could carry 3 divisions with the number of teams left.
