JakeSAFC Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Obviously Cowden fans won’t agree, but to stink out the division for a 3rd year in a row deserves punishment, send them doon. If it happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchBorderer Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Should make a Trapdoorwatch 2018-29, with the first post having a poll as to who will finish last. I stand by my earlier point of being satisfied if Berwick don't finish last this coming season, 8th again would be absolutely fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde01 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 And if there is a huge gulf between L2 and LL how come East Stirling haven't scooshed the title the last two seasons? Because they are shite and are now where they belong to be based on decades of failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even know what signings we've made yet to come up with that prediction. Then again........... I haven't a clue who we've signed yet either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy anyone making any predictions at the start of June, when clubs only have maybe half a squad left on their books! Wait until August to see who has the best team.

MOFOREVER Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 After years of being in here I still have feelings for those left behind and can only hope the Mo continue to thrive. We know how it feels to have a trapdoor in just in 10 team division when anyone can have a bad run maybe just through long term injuries. Finishing bottom regularly is different, I accept that but there has to be a better way of sorting it out in a pyramid system. I hear 15 teams have joined the EoS League next season so hopefully that will eventually lead to a Midland section to rival the HL and LL which in turn could mean any Angus club being relegated could go into a ML rather than the HL as Angus is simply not in the Highlands and connects more with the Midlands for players and everything else these days. Oh, and while I'm pontificating I still think three bigger divisions with automatic relegation would be better than the present 10 team boring divisions. The champs of the next step down the pyramid can fight it out for the promotion slot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The champs of the next step down the pyramid can fight it out for the promotion slot. There are 26 teams that joined the LL. But to be honest, I think it's unlikely that the boundary will change any time soon, 2 tier 5 leagues is a clear condition of the pyramid at the moment. Any south of Tay club to get relegated in the near future (but not immediately) will end up in a decent league with a whole bunch of ex-juniors and stronger LL teams like Spartans, Shire etc. A HL area team getting relegated will probably have a much less attractive league to end up in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will be right for a while yet because those who have the voting power I doubt are really interested in the lower tiers and the SPFL management I guess can only change things if the clubs vote for change. Don't know about you but as a fan of Scottish football overall I just don't feel comfortable with the set up as it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change is now coming from below. With the big junior sides getting into the pyramid and some possibly making their way towards the SPFL, they will force change through as it will become clear it can't stay the way it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at worst you would go into the LL unlike some of us who would go into the HL which would be a lot worse and a logistical nightmare. Hope the wee Rovers turn it around though and have a decent season - it's not nice in the trapdoor division and nobody outside L2 seems to care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We exist, so don't get too worried At this point, there's about three or four more signings Berwick needs to get on board for a full 18 man squad, but that trio or quartet are going to have to be really impressive players at this rate. Cowden's had meaningful additions, Edinburgh City are looking more like a L1 play-off team each day, and I don't doubt Annan to have their shite together as well; might end up being a bigger struggle for the Black and Gold in 18/19 than across the past two seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
