However, you are both wasting energy if you think that the top league will ever be a playing 2x a year league. Unfortunately TV rules and 4x celtic/sevco games is required... Aye I know, as long as the championship gets there I'll be happy. Mad there would be 12 derby matches in a 16 team league next season but that couldn't happen because they want to show 4/8 available.

However you forget that the majority of fans doing this in Scotland still live in the 17th century, over 200 years prior to the war you refer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Can we please acknowledge that the only reason Cameron wants a bigger top flight is because that would give Ayr a better chance of being there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 He seemed to accept the Premiership is unlikely to want change but is interested in Aidrie's proposal for larger lower leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I really think the lower tier clubs are missing out by not pushing for 12-12-10-10. Would correct all disputed relegations & promotions etc.... except hearts, which would be pleasing... The 12 could also a split which despite critics works in premiership Would have most of the strongest and best supported teams outside the premiership involved... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you're becoming an endangered minority. I think these are ideas which are fine in principle but which will immediately get voted down once an actual proposal gets put on the table and they see the potential drop off in money.I can imagine the 2nd tier going to 12 quite easily, and perhaps the lower leagues getting a bit bigger to improve the chances of ever getting back if you get relegated, but both proposals will inevitably come along with a new push for Old Firm B teams in there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The 10 team Championship is probably the most exciting league in Scottish football (Not suggesting the quality on the pitch is necessarily exciting) so it'd make sense for the SPFL clubs to all get together and change that one and leave the top flight untouched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The number of promotion and relegation spots are exactly the same as League 1 and only one more than League 2. But it's mainly the clubs in those two middle leagues who want change, because they don't like the associated risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilMARKnock Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Can we please acknowledge that the only reason Cameron wants a bigger top flight is because that would give Ayr a better chance of being there.Who gives a f**k if that is the reason, pleasing to hear a chairman with the balls to call out the boring as f**k set up we have. Players know where each other will go, it's like a game of chess with the familiarity the current set up brings at time. Most of the Ayrshire supporting weegie c***s I know even acknowledge this and agree it would make their game against the other arse cheek have more meaning. If only the other 10 in the top league would call the shite for what it is the rest of us would only have two visits of weegie bigotted c***s to deal with on a league season and probably better crowds with more derby style games available. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The split doesn't 'work', but it doesn't not 'work'. It just..is. Teams play against others in similar positions without a split. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Findlay and Cameron did say they favoured reconstruction but this is the wrong time so perhaps there is a majority of clubs in favour of reconstruction. You don't need a majority, you need 80% from every tier of the league.It's deliberately difficult to get through because they fucked about with the structure so much previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact it doesn't start until October plus it's a one off curtailed season with 27 games it's the perfect opportunity. The tarts could take it to court again if they don't get promoted next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Championship season starts in October, 12 games played, winter COVID spike, season null and void surely. Hearts get to go again for season 21/22. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because I don't recall him ever saying that was the reason for wanting a bigger too flight. What he has said is that playing other teams 4 times a season (with the potential to play up to 10 matches in the one season against another team) is dull. And it is. So you can speculate that that is the reason Lachlan wants an expanded top flight, but you can't state it as fact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Chico again complaining because “we panicked” and didn’t finish the season. Tony Fitzpatrick joining the long list of pundits who think when the Ibrox club finish over 10 points behind is finally “competitive” and a “title challenge”Obviously means when other clubs do it it isn’t. Yet more throwaway comments with nothing to back it up. Patronising garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
