Save our Hearts! To be back to where we are would mean 3 relegations from the premier assuming there would be one promotion into it. There would then be 3 down and 1 up for the other leagues apart from 2 which would have 3 coming down from 1, with 2 out of the SPFL and perhaps a playoff for the third bottom. The effect on league 2 would be horrendous. Better to end up with 11 teams in leagues one and two Edited April 18, 2020 by spiders4ever 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoriginalhedge Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Does anyone even give a f**k any more ? They will decide what they want and the fans will just have to accept it or take a hike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Council Tax was only meant to be a temporary measure to fix the f*ck up that was the Poll Tax. Temporary measures have a habit of becoming permanent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Can't see any incentive for league 2 teams to vote in favour of promoting Kelty and Brora. Two teams that will splash the cash and will be aiming to win the league. Will reduce the chance of the rest of the teams winning promotion and move the ones near the bottom closer to the trap door and in a year or 2 they might change it back and relegate 2 back into the LL or HL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williebraveheart Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I hope it is voted down. This is purely an exercise for saving jobs for the boys. To have Budge as co chairperson is a disgrace and says it all. They are taking us for fools. Another resolution which cannot be taken seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove and Edinburgh will obviously back it, so if you have 11 Premiership, 10 Championship and at least 9 League 1 sides in support then it won't matter what the remaining League 2 sides vote for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 If 6 League 2 Clubs reject it is it not scuppered?No. It's a different type of resolution for expanding the SPFL. It requires 11 Prem, 17 Prem & Champ & 32 from across the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Saddler Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 For the sake of your emerging pyramid system there needs to be promotion this season. I can however see this getting squashed by the Premier League which would just be for self-interest reasons. I hope that something gets sorted out to suit all parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No objection to Kelty or Brora coming in but Brechin have to go first. That's what would have happened if the season finished. If Brechin had won the play-off then no lower league club would have been promoted Does fairness and sporting integrity only work one way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams will be really struggling financially and will be a big difference crowd wise from having Falkirk and Thistle in the league compared to Edinburgh and Stranraer.Airdrie and East Fife will probably vote in favour as gives them a great chance to win it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Budge to propose three points for a defeat, backdated to 2019/20. Option B is to relegate alphabetically. Would reconstruction be on the table if Hamilton were bottom? I doubt it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 The Premier are acting like a 'closed shop' where only the elite and 'invited clubs' can enter. Let's have no relegation ever, with the bottom side playing the championship winners over so many legs until they get what they want,priceless. Hearts may go down ? Boo Hoo just grow up and bounce back straight away,simples. Makes one lose interest in the whole carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
