Started going to games in the late 50's. The wrong side of 70 now mate. I remember loads of great games, a lot of gifted players in the lower leagues particularly and the top league as well when I was old enough to travel around. A lot of the games did mean something even when there was nothing at stake. I remember four figure crowds in the old league two as well, nostalgia eh. I was just using a bit of hindsight and foresight to Express an opinion, that's all we can do at present. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, They were allocated to all the clubs and you applied through them. Managed to get down twice. I may have been ' 71 and '73. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Bottom line is, there is no ideal solution. Two massive teams compared to everyone else who hoover up any decent players from the rest, who have negligible budgets. Add in a poor standard of home player and you have the pishness of Scottish football summed up. For me, the four league system works fine for us. Wee teams with a bit about them can go up a division and, if they're well run, up another division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPL and SFL reunited to form the SPFL in 2013. I'm sure you'd like to see Falkirk back in the top league, I've no affinity with your club or Dunfermline say and a few more clubs besides, but I reckon it would be good for the game here to have well supported sides up there. Also your travelling fans would probably prefer to have more venues to visit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
