Burnieman Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 11 hours ago, Dev said: It just need one more foul-up by the SFA for radical changes to happen and to be brought about by those clubs which already have a significant block of votes i.e. the majority of SPFL clubs who are unhappy about the sFA being run by a tiny minority of vested interests. There's already a level of unrest amongst the tier 6 leagues after this Conference debacle. What that manifests itself into, if anything, remains to be seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Albion not already in the cup this season? I thought Cowden just got an extra place that came because someone else got into Europe, so next season would be Albion if they haven't already qualified to play in it and there's a space available 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Think it would be difficult for the SFA to further limit voting rights because this Conference league issue has highlighted the need to have plenty of smaller clubs as full members to provide a majority able to apply the brakes when necessary. On the flip side if extra clubs achieving entry-level licensing meant also becoming new full members again it would provide the SFA board with an incentive to raise the bar in a big way on licensing requirements. The way things are right now is far from ideal but it may be as good as it is ever likely to be for non-SPFL clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, it's been the LL runners-up who have filled any extra places I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
