The 12-12-12/12/12 set up remember was the one that we had before re-organisation, but it ended up being 12-12-15/13/12 with only one promotion spot for the District Leagues, in fact in 2011-12 the South had 15 teams and the North only 11. Clubs aren't going to vote to return to that, only 22 (or 20) league games is a nightmare, and I doubt it's what the proposal is going to be.

HTG Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 A top flight of 16 with 3 regional leagues of 16 underneath. 2 up from each and the 3 3rd places into a play off. 6 down and 7th bottom into a play off. That'll put cats among pigeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither works, and the "third way" is what we currently have, which does work. EDIT - have amended to reflect the split of Perthshire clubs that existed prior to reconstruction. I much prefer what we have just now but wouldn't be totally against the first idea but going back to 12 teams would just be rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anychance Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Get rid of the regions altogether and have a super league premier league league 1 and a league 2 15 teams in each league 3 up 3 down Sick of hearing about traveling your in the east league or not The bottom half of the north and south leagues as it stands would in their quality be quite competitive as would the top half of the north and south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnie_man Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I actually wouldn’t have too much of a problem with that, although 14-14-16-16 would probably work better. No odd teams, three up/down. If a new team joins the bottom division, promote an extra team so eventually it would be 16-16-16-16. It’s the only workable alterative to what we currently have. I doubt it would happen though as it goes against the reasons why we’re even talking about this, even more clubs would moan about travelling although it would stop the griping about regional splits and everyone would be in the same boat travelling wise. Problem I could see is if a team were faced with a backlog and had to travel a significant distance for a midweek game eg. Stoneyburn v Forfar Albion. Probably a rare occurrence but it could happen.

AlanCamelonfan Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 i'd have 16 in the two top divisions and 14 in the bottom 2 in the hope of recruiting 4 more teams to the grade. League 1 and League 2 could also compete in the dreaded sectional league cup to boost games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Looking in from the outside I find that remarkable. Basically to summarise:Leagues reorganised * Superleague reduced from 16 to 14 clubs, playing 26 instead of 30 games * Premier abolished * remaining 47 clubs organised into North, Central and South districts (with space for 1 new club) * bottom 3 in Superleague relegated; 3x District champions promoted; playoff involving 11th in Superleague + 3x District runners-upTransition arrangements2017-18 season is played on an uncompetitive basis, except for the trophies and avoiding bottom 2 in the SuperleagueEOS Junior Cup reorganisedInstead of all 64 clubs joining at R1, the District clubs play an extra round - half receive a bye tbf - and the Superleague clubs do not join until R3 (the last 32) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East expert Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 27 minutes ago, Mr Motivator said: Got to disagree, the current set up is the most competitive and well balanced for almost all involved. it has and will continue to give clubs that strive to reach the summit the best opportunity. This new proposal will do nothing for the game other than see the same 2 maybe 3 teams be promoted and relegated season after season. The premier league in the current set up has seen different teams drop from the super and given many more the chance to play at a higher level than district and that for me as a fan has taken me to many grounds I've never been before over the last few years. Forget all this nonsense about travelling the only thing that gets spectators to matches is competitive football. Of course you disagree, the new proposal is a terrible one. It's just the fact that burnie thinks he's an expert and can't refrain from commenting on every post. He comes across as condescending on each and every post about this subject but for once he didn't seem to take the bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, stick to the subject rather than attacking other members for actually having the gumption to discuss this, which is what the Pie and Bovril forum is about, you are free to challenge anything I post. Your bait was a tad obvious, and as for being condescending, I'm not the one with "expert" as his forum name....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
