Piorek Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Surely increasing the Championship to 12 teams would give a bit of breathing space at the bottom of the division, offer up two new faces to play against in the season, and allow two new teams the chance to grow like Arbroath and Queens Park. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Personally I'd prefer the SPFL to be 3 leagues of 18, but we all know that will never happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch Accies playing 44 league games a season personally. A split would be absolutely shite at this level as well so you can’t change to playing against teams 3 times a season either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not the above then I quite like the current structure tbh, very few needless games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The correct answer was, is, and always will be three leagues of 16, split after two rounds (so you only play the teams in your half three times; or, in the case of the top league, the teams in your quarter 4 times). Add in fair play-offs for relegation/promotion and we have something that's both attractive in terms of sporting competition... and sellable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any other teams accidentally benefit from this altruism then so be it. Edited February 24, 2023 by Tattie36 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
