Are you suggesting that multiple clubs will all go in to administration in January 2021? Why that month? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born To Run Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Lowland League man here coming in peace Thought I’d share the interview I did with Stenny chairman Iain McMenemy yesterday should anyone fancy a listen. He’s got some interesting thoughts on SPFL league reconstruction as well as relegation to our level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherrywhite Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Only sensible decision in these times is a 14-14-14 and no promotion from the lowland or highland till scottish football gets on its feet again. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be especially harsh to relegate anyone only further causing harm especially from an incomplete season. That's just my opinion. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what will happen if Clyde, Peterhead Forfar and Stranraer are all relegated. Cove are also denied promotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that. I think it's absolutely disgusting that clubs are voting to keep thenselves safe knowing fine well that the club looking to get into the league will end up near the top of the table. I'm sorry but if I was the person putting money into Kelty I would be taking serious legal action if no opportunity was given to enter at least a play off. It stinks to the core. For Edinburgh City to vote for this is the ultimate f**k you to the lower leagues. What about the other clubs in play off positions ? Should they also take serious legal action ? Exactly the same scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other SPFL clubs also wouldn't have any right to take legal action given that it is within the SPFL's power to do so. That is not the case for scrapping the Pyramid Playoff, since any change to the format requires the approval of the HL and LL. The SPFL are acting unilaterally, contrary to their own rules.

Nonsense!!!! Clyde, Peterhead, Forfar and Stranraer stay in the third league. Cove and the other 9 teams in League 2 get promoted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that , but on the other hand there was nothing in their rules defining procedures in extraordinary circumstances such as we are experiencing now. The rule book has basically been twisted as far as it could have been to accommodate the decisions that have been made so far . I still think the decision was based on the assumption that the adoption of the 14-10-10-10 set up would sail through . I am in favour of automatic relegation for team 42 and am surprised that wasn't adopted right at the start of the pyramid system . The fact that it wasn't in place has obviously caused this whole sorry predicament that no one ever foresaw. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was absolutely no guarantee that 1 club would be promoted into the leagues before the season started. Those were the rules set out with a clear playoff system just like other leagues so why is it now so wrong that nobody made it up to L2 due to this unprecented worldwide disaster? Take Cowden, sitting 4th in L2 and whoever was 3rd. Would they not have an equal grievance? Trying with everything they have got to be in a play off to go up to L1. What’s the difference? It’s been denied them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
