ropy Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 What would be the point of playing lower league games behind closed doors, The games exist for the fans to watch, they have little else value, at the end of the season the best team goes up but in the main the teams have played for the ‘enjoyment’ of the fans. Why would you pay players for games that generate no income? The top league has more prize money to perhaps make it cost effective but even that is unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way so nice to read a Hearts fan who (while beeing pissed) is still being realistic, well done you sir.

10menwent2mow Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 There are so many questions with 14-14-14 which in turn generate more questions1. Are all three leagues going to split 6-8?2. How are promotion and relegation going to work? 3. If it is for two seasons, is the plan to go back to 12-10-10-10 for season 3?1. If they do, would teams in tiers 2&3 be better off by having 4 additional match days to generate revenue? Do they intend simply to have the bottom section playing 4 additional midweek fixtures in the last 8-10 weeks of the season?How will this work if there are playoffs to be scheduled at the end of the season? 2. Will it be 2 up 2 down in all leagues? Will there be playoffs? Will there still only be the opportunity for one club to join the league from the pyramid? What will happen at the end of season 2 with promotion relegation if the plan is to go back to 12-10-10-10?3. With 1 up 1 down, this would see 7 (seven) teams relegated from tier 2 to tier 3 at the end of season 2 and the winners of tier 3 going from the bottom tier to the championship. To me, this exposes current championship clubs to the greatest level of risk. Clubs like Dunfermline, Ayr, Morton, Queen of the South would be at a much increased risk of finding themselves in tier 3 at the end of the two seasons than they currently do. Conversely, there is an increased chance of a current tier 3 or 4 side finding themselves in tier 2 at the end of it all. Seems to be a minimal risk to them in comparison to a more substantial risk to the current championship teams. I do wonder if any of this has been considered in Budge's fudge or they just think ah f**k it, we'll go 14-14-14 just to save ourselves and sod actually thinking about the practicalities of how this will actually work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zing.

Why would he? He's not in a position to do that? The reconstruction is only to help hearts and bad for so many other teams. Unless there's some form of bribe happenning here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 FWIW hes clearly made that up. He claims that if this reconstruction vote fails, then any club who doesnt agree to start playing when the season starts on its originally planned date will be instantly expelled from the SPFL. As if the next two months dont exist and its August tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
