JHS rip Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I think EK will take care of Cove. Part of me hopes not. The thought of Brian Kerr being responsible for us being relegated two seasons running would be pretty hard to take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I'm being daft and was thinking of the lowland v highland match. Apologies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what I saw of EK, when I was there a few weeks ago, and what I saw of Albion Rovers on Saturday, I know where my money will be going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But gauging from the quote above if the HL team where to be promoted and what looks like either AR or us to go down. Does that then mean whitehill welfare will also be relegated? (Last time I checked they where miles off Dalbeattie) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Last time I checked they where miles off Dalbeattie) 5 behind Dalbeattie and the star have 2 games in hand. Doesn't look good for ww as the rules state bottom club relegated despite in my reading that should technically have been Selkirk. The way I read it now is ww will be automatically relegated and Dalbeattie will also go to allow a south based SPFL2 club to go LL should the HFL winners win the play off. Bottom club from HFL at present doesn't get relegated so would be interesting if an SPFL2 from the north boundary was ever relegated.

I'm not writing off the HFL champions mate, I just haven't physically seen them play. I was referring to the conversation if Albion Rovers met EK. If the truth be told, I wouldn't be surprised if Albion managed to get themselves out of the mess and Berwick finished bottom, but time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever finishes last, I have a bad feeling they'll go down and never come back up again. Much like how East Stirlingshire has been a mostly anonymous LL club for a while now, I'm fearful the next few teams to be relegated will be lucky to survive.

Do they still get the SPFL parachute payment if they do go down though ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is still the case (perhaps along with some other benefits, I found it interesting how East Stirlingshire received Ladbrokes sponsorship for their first season down). Of course, that payment dries up very soon after, whilst the relegated club needs to finish top of their league, then beat the champion of the other league, and then overcome the bottom SPFL team (who might have their shit together, unlike Rovers/Berwick this season) to claw their way back up the ladder. Those are some bad odds to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 But if they're not strong enough to come back up then by definition the stronger teams will be in the SPFL, which is exactly the point! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds appear to be skewed in favour of the SPFL team, but your point stands. Maybe eventually it will be automatic relegation for Club 42. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yes, I'd like one auto plus a play off. More chance of going down, but also of coming back up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you decide who comes up? You have a play off and the loser then plays SPFL2 ‘team 9’? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
