That means the SPFL will be looking to finish around the usual time due to the Euros. That shapes some of the non-league calendar as the Lowland and Highland Leagues are going to want to finish before the SPFL in order to have their play-off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Play everybody once and keep the cups. Seems fairer than someone having to play eg Talbot twice and Bonnyton once, versus another side playing Talbot once and Bonnyton twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galston also used it for one home game funnily enough against Arthurlie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did work out why Scotland made the leagues smaller but make you play home,away,home again - no need to play 3 times is there ? Hopefully things will get better and we can get back to the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did work out why Scotland made the leagues smaller but make you play home,away,home again - no need to play 3 times is there ? Hopefully things will get better and we can get back to the game.It changed in 1976 from 2 leagues to 3 a top league of 10 2 leagues 14, since then the top league has changed a few times in 94 Ross county and caley thistle a merger of the 2 inverness clubs joined the sfl and made it 4 leagues of 10, then then about 2000 another change when Elgin and Peterhead joined that’s when the played each time 3 times came into premier league and a split after 33 games cos it was a 12 team league, when it was 10 team league played everyone home n away twice.I wish it had changed this year and made the bottom league 1 down automatically and the second bottom team played the loser of the HL and LL playoff game thus making it easier for tier 6 teams to get promoted to tier 5 rant over 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
