AyrshireTon Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Fantastic stuff! Ourselves, Dumbarton and St. Mirren should cobble together and get a new floating stadium built on the River Clyde. It can then be towed up and down it every fortnight, docking wherever it allows this new super all-conquering team to be brought to the community. Can't wait to see Barcelona's faces in the CL when they play a semi final leg under the Erskine Bridge or moored next to the Captayannis wreck.

Tonsilitis Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 On a more serious note, it looks like Livi are in serious difficulty again, now seven points adrift at the foot of the Championship with a large bill to the tax man outstanding. They may not survive a third insolvency in ten years. Welcome Spartans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdTheDuck Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Shouldn't Rangers and Celtic be merged into that Glasgow team? Surely? No? Yes? What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonnitus Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The worst solution to anything, ever. Merging rival teams (although actually, seeing Dundee suffer the ultimate humiliation of moving across the road to Tannadice would be absolutely outstanding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It would be a no from me, but by god, there's some precious souls on here. Oh, there is Viking Ten turning something completely unrelated from Ayr, into a debate about Ayr. That obsession gets stronger by the day. It was started by an Ayr fan, and his post was talking about a member of the Ayr fan base. It was entirely related. But yeah the idea is an absolute shocker. Heads gone beckons.

Gingerboaby Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The biggest problem in my opinion is boredom. Fans are fed up playing the same teams 4 times a year. I'd go for bigger leagues. Top league of 20, maybe even a 2nd league of 20 of its possible. Should also be a regional pyramid system allowing teams the chance to get promoted. Works in Italy so can't see why it wouldn't here. Tv rights are a problem too. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant an Ayr fan started the thread, and VT's post was about how another Ayr fan was wanting to change the league to make Ayr less of a joke. A terrible joke/dig though it is, I wouldn't say it's irrelevant to the opening post because technically that is what the OP was doing. Doesn't really matter anyway haha, just a petty point!

HibeeJibee Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I actually think the structure of Scottish football is pretty good at the moment... 36 or 38 is a reasonable number of games and there are now play-offs throughout the leagues and a split in the Premiership to keep things interesting right up to the season's end. Pyramid system starts this season, encompassing all the Senior leagues worth talking of, and will hopefully expand in future. Crowds pretty decent. Young players coming through. National team picking-up. Performances in Europe are still an issue - but there have been recent improvements from the likes of Aberdeen and St Johnstone, and Celtic are looking good to progress to EL knock-out stage. Armageddon has failed to show. Merging clubs will never work, by and large, as fans are attached to most clubs by history loyalty and tradition. If you formed 'Fife United' they would get terrible crowds, lots of fans would be lost to the game entirely and lots of others would follow their old clubs or phoenix sides. If you formed 'Dundee City' they would get poorer crowds than either of the current clubs get. It can only work in unusual circumstances, like in Inverness. Neither would shutting clubs, or forcing them into non-league football, make much difference. Someone isn't going to stop supporting Stirling Albion, and start going to Falkirk, just because of their divisional statuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
