Brechin City FC Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 This was the most recent payout table I could find: Spoiler Ladbrokes Premiership 1st - 13.40% - £3,350,000 2nd - 9.60% - £2,400,000 3rd - 8.25% - £2,062,500 4th - 7.25% - £1,812,500 5th - 6.75% - £1,687,500 6th - 6.25% - £1,562,500 7th - 5.75% - £1,437,500 8th - 5.50% - £1,375,000 9th - 5.25% - £1,312,500 10th -5.00% - £1,250,000 11th - 4.75% - £1,187,500 12th - 4.50% - £1,125,000 Ladbrokes Championship 1st - 2.25% - £562,500 2nd - 1.90% - £475,000 3rd - 1.60% - £400,000 4th - 1.30% - £325,000 5th - 1.00% - £250,000 6th - 0.90% - £225,000 7th - 0.85% - £212,500 8th - 0.80% - £200,000 9th - 0.75% - £187,500 10th - 0.70% - £175,000 Ladbrokes League 1 1st - 0.50% - £125,000 2nd - 0.43% - £107,500 3rd - 0.35% - £87,500 4th - 0.34% - £85,000 5th - 0.33% - £82,500 6th - 0.32% - £80,000 7th - 0.31% - £77,500 8th - 0.30% - £75,000 9th - 0.29% - £72,500 10th - 0.28% - £70,000 Ladbrokes League 2 1st - 0.27% - £67,500 2nd - 0.26% - £65,000 3rd - 0.25% - £62,500 4th - 0.24% - £60,000 5th - 0.23% - £57,500 6th - 0.22% - £55,000 7th - 0.21% - £52,500 8th - 0.20% - £50,000 9th - 0.19% - £47,500 10th - 0.18% - £45,000 To add an extra two teams, You'd need to find an extra £80k from someplace. (eg ~£7k per SPL club or around £2k per SPFL club). I don't think that would be an issue. The problem is when you have a 12-team league, there certainly has to be an automatic relegation spot (There should be one in a 10-team league). I can't see teams voting for that. Personally I'd like to see Kelty and Brora promoted into a 12-team league that has one automatic relegation spot and one playoff relegation spot. HL and Lowland League still have their playoff for the automatic spot, and the loser of that tie then plays 11th place in L2. Admittedly it would save our bacon when we probably don't deserve it, but I can see arguments for both sides. I still don't think it justifies the club's begging letter to the SPFL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding teams comes at an extra financial cost. So does relegating automatically and additional relegation as long as parachute payments are there. I doubt there'd be enough support for the double whammy of removing the safety net of the relegation play-off and parachute payments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, the SPFL board comprises Chief Exec, Chairman, Independent non-exec director, 3 representatives from Premiership, 2 representatives from Championship and 1 representing Leagues 1 and 2. So the League 1/2 representative is twisting the other 8 round his finger - aye right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Not saying he is twisting anybody round his finger. The original post was in answer to somebody saying he had no influence. The fact he is sitting at a table or on zoom with these others gives him influence that others don’t have. Otherwise what is the point of being on the committee? It is fanciful to think that he has no influence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 There's also not a chance in hell SPFL2 clubs would vote for a reduction in home gates given how long they've not had that income source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He recently took over from Mark Wilson as manager, and is looking for his first win as manager. However, he seems confident that won’t be long in coming.

DG.Roma Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 On 24/04/2021 at 19:43, Left Back said: Have to agree with you here. Champion of a league where some teams haven’t kicked a ball is farcical. If this happened in another country we’d all be laughing at it and calling it tinpot. Nah, I think we'd be saying "looks like they've given the teams who earned their playoff place last season another chance, seeing as they didn't get their playoff due to the virus. That's fair enough really, it's the same three teams involved after all." Calling them Champions is a stretch, to say the least, but allowing them their playoff is not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Have Brechin explained why when they have been happy all season for tier 5 champion to be decided after 17 games why they are deeply upset now it’s 13 games?
