Also there may not be a LL place to fill if Berwick Rangers are relegated and Bonnyrigg are denied promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if ang truth in that.If they were to go south the highest league they could enter at would be step 4 or 5 of NLS aka tier 9 or 10 so I don't see it happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if ang truth in that.Talk, but it’s seems to generally be pure mindless speculation. They seem to be acting as if they expect to be playing LL next season if they lose. Generally I think they view themselves in a Scottish context and the thought of moving FA’s is rather extreme for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I think they view themselves in a Scottish context and the thought of moving FA’s is rather extreme for them. Their geographically appropriate Level 7 league (the Northern Premier) would involve much more travelling than they would expect in the Lowland League, as it includes clubs all the way down to North Norfolk. The only "local" league that might involve less travelling than the Lowland League would be the Northern League (its top tier is at Level 9 on the English pyramid, 4 levels below the "Conference"). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if ang truth in that. whoever was saying that clearly at the wind up. Berwick would have to join Northern League Division One I suspect and they see themselves as a club who've always been in the Scottish system, and have no intention of changing that. The idea that they would just walk into National League North is just laughable. I think they'd find that league very tough, too, and would likely come bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcruic Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) There is simply no good reason not to adopt a pyramid system that includes all teams, right down to the amateurs. "The fans don't want it" or "the clubs don't want it" are not valid excuses if the fans or clubs don't have good reasons. I haven't seen any good reasons. Scotland is the only country in Europe without such a system, not because of "tradition", but because of obstinacy and refusal to change - just for the sake of it. Most, if not all, clubs, would be better off, would have to travel the same or less than now, and would know their place within a national system. They'd also be playing a set of teams very close to what they are already playing. Edited May 10, 2019 by mcruic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
