I wonder if whiskery Donald has phoned Cambuslang, Kilwinning, Kilsyth, Queens Park (no, not them), and Hong Kong tae get some back up tae the project. Of all people, (Donald is a very clever man),...surely he wouldn't fall for the promise of jam tomorrow ? I don't really know much (anything except Google maps) about Brora. It looks like quite a nice place. Is it also full of completely selfish arseholes ? Its ok I found myself agreeing with you on a thread somewhere and im only now getting over it. I would agree that DF surely isnt acting in Cowdenbeath’s best interest here, it anything it absolutely destroys any chance they have of getting back into the spfl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does voting for B teams to continue in LL destroy any chance for CFC getting back to SPFL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn’t been a vote on the conference yet ! You seem to be assuming because Cowden voted for B Teams for another year in the LL, they will vote for the Conference. Why would they, a LL with B Teams negates the need for a conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lithgierose Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I have said it before. If the objective of this B team shit. Is to give the laddies competitive game time. Why aren't they playing teams from their own grade ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave94 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Turriff United hitting the nail right on the head. https://www.turriffunitedfc.co.uk/news/1002/club-statement-on-conference-league-proposals ''We, along with many other clubs, worked extremely hard to get to where we are now, striving to meet the various requirements required to gain an SFA club license and all the financial implications that that entails. Many hundreds of hours of work every year are also poured into our club to maintain that license, be it through the ground maintenance we need to keep it to standard or the regulations we need to adhere to to keep it. To have that work done only to be moved down a level through no fault of our own to facilitate an extra league that isn't needed being added in above us is pretty soul destroying.

welshbairn Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Another good guy from the Highland League.. Quote As I am sure most of our fans are aware there has been a lot of news in the press recently in regards to a proposed New Conference League which would slot in above the Scottish Highland Football League and would feature Colt teams and a selection of teams from the Scottish Highland Football League and Lowland League. Everyone at Keith FC understand the need to review the current structure of Scottish Football, but as a club we feel that given the information that has been seen, this is NOT the way forward and we as a club would vote NO based on the current information we have seen in the media. We like many other clubs are proud of our History and proud of the Scottish Highland Football League and will do all we can to protect both our club and our League. We would like our fans feedback and views on the proposed new Conference league, Please see voting form in the link below which will allow you to vote for or against the proposal and will give the board of your club a good indication of our fans feelings on this. We look forward to receiving your feedback 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che Dail Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Hopefully some good comes out of this supporters-led campaign to re-think the Conference proposal before it is realized. The pause caused by COVID was an opportunity to make changes to Scottish football, but nothing meaningful has emerged yet. In Europe, ‘Pyramid’ refers not only to promotion and relegation, but to the actual shape of the structure: a narrow top with a limited number of elite professional clubs (best v best), and a wide, strong base with numerous semi-professional and amateur sides split regionally - often at Tier 3 or 4. In Scotland, we have a linear column-like structure, with a repeated 10-team national format in which semi-professional clubs play each other (fearfully) 4 times a season. It's poor as it is - adding another ‘storey’ into this column would weaken it further. If the SFA were to design a structure first, learning from European examples, we’d have a much better system for the benefit of all - and 'promotion', of sorts, for most clubs.
