Blootoon87 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 There is literally no chance of them being promoted, it would take a seismic shift in the rules of the SPFL to allow it to happen.I'm willing to give you any odds you want that the colts will be in League Two within five seasons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get more Premiership sides wanting part of it, the League 2 clubs are eminently bribable. I'd say 2-3 years rather 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have always said that if that comes to pass i would not be going to follow my team in the Scottish League, if they sell out would go to watch junior or Highland League providing they have not sold out as well. No way should teams be allowed to have more than one team in the actual league system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not seem eminently bribable to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a massive difference in mindset between supporters and people directly involved in the business, from players to the top blazers, who nearly all seem to be in favour. This is just my impression from podcasts, general media interviews etc. Edited May 19 by welshbairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might change if it's not just the OF and there's more structure to it, serious parachute payments etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's this money coming from? And how can clubs that can't afford to run a reserve side suddenly finding the cash for B teams? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL member clubs won’t vote for it, that’s a fact. Tbf, the SPFL Clubs have never ever been asked to vote on anything to do with the pyramid, all done in smoke filled rooms at Hampden. On the subject of transparency tho, the SFA PGB meeting took place yesterday where the guest Clubs and associated LL rules were to be ratified. When can a statement be expected from LL on result and as rumoured, additional criteria imposed ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than two clubs have two teams in different leagues. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kept the Junior Cup going for old times sake. Not all ex Juniors took part. I'd expect the Junior Cup to be replaced by a national non league cup competition in future years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With line-ups and scorers for all games, probably the best non-league website out there for stattos like me https://www.scottishjuniorfa.com/ Edited May 20 by cmontheloknow 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
