ftk Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 12-12-10-10 for me. No colts though. Top 2 leagues split into 8-8-8. 36 games. Nothing much to complain about with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I hate then folk say this. First of all, they massage their attendances, and have done for nigh on 20 years. Everyone knows this. Second, the majority of their fans don't actually live in Dingwall. They come from Inverness, the Black Isle and other towns in Ross-Shire mostly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrforce1 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Apart from possibly of these colt teams bringing decent crowds there is absolutely no benefits to be had with this madcap proposal.The super spfl looking to further diminish the integrity of a league set up that disproportionately benefits the premiership clubs.As already been said get this idea tae f**k! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The stats guys could probably tell us exactly, however I'd say the average crowds currently across all our leagues are pretty healthy in relation to what they've been throughout history. There's those who talk about the likes of Ayr getting 15,000 to 20,000 etc, however since I've been watching us from the mid 80's until currently, our average home gates have been from 1,100 up to the low 3,000's and currently we're getting around 2,300 and I'm pretty sure most teams are in similar situations. Yes, we would get 8,000 - 12,000 against Killie and the Old Firm but these were the exceptions rather than the norm and again I'm sure it will be similar for most teams. So basically taking everything into account such as cost, quality of product and general matchday experience, I'd say we're actually all doing OK at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have more supporters per head of population than any country in Europe and for a rural team like Ross County to attract such an average attendance would give them little room to increase that attendance. I would reckon it is probably max'd out and no League restructuring will improve it IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I can remember the 12 team Premier league with 44 teams in the early 90s, the fixture calendar was far less structured with international windows etc then, even in this league we had Falkirk vs Morton called off due to international call ups so there's no guarantee you could play through them. I'm not against the idea of a bigger 2nd tier in general (trade off between playing each other 4 times a season and meaningless games) but 4 extra midweek home games isn't going to make a world of difference financially. I'm not even dignifying the colts pish with a response. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 2 can play each other 36 times a season with no relegation and the rest of us can ignore them and get on with it. 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
