The link doesn't quote anyone and it says it's sourced from the Scottish Sun but I can't find any mention of it there.

Cowden Cowboy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It’s interesting to see what is spouted about L1/2 clubs - who have never to my recollection been asked to consider any reconstruction linked to the pyramid without colts/B teams being the main driving force behind the initiative. They have consistently said no to that aspect. Then you get the claim that they act en bloc - when in reality L2 clubs have managed to put their differences aside to try and reach a consensus on most matters which involves give and take. What is the pyramid view of full time clubs like Dunfermline and Falkirk; of the clubs who have come up such as FCE, Kelty, Bonnyrigg; Angus clubs; supporter controlled/influenced clubs, etc? They are not homogenous but colts/b teams being forced on them along with cash incentives hasn’t been well received in the past 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparticus Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) You think any plan to get b teams in the league would need the the highland league to accept the north club b teams. it’s just never going to work nor should it. Just get them out into some reserve league Edited June 30, 2022 by Sparticus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilianlex Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 So Maxwell and Doncaster who bang on about the fans and how important they are continually make proposals for reconstruction that involve Rangers and Celtic Colts completely ignoring the fans of LL and L2 who are overwhelmingly against their inclusion. Anyone any idea why that would be ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone any idea why that would be ? The 'beaks' conveniently understand the view of the fans to be an aggregate. So the views of 100,000 Old Firm fans are more important than the ~5000 who regularly attend League Two games. Whenever they need to confirm this, they can churn out a survey that asks some fat bigot without the bus fare in Fraserburgh about whether 'the Gers' should get their rightful second spot in the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
