guinness Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 New league 3 to be started. 4 lowland league. 4 highland league and 4 colts including guess who? With promotion into the rest of the league setup. If highland league do not fancy it then Ross county and Inverness colts in. Anything to get the two shites another team in the league.

Cornwall_Saint Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Scottish Sun Report Don't agree with a fifth non-regional league, even England only stretches as far as that. The obvious point here is the "colt" additions they want, that's the real reason behind this. I'd keep the leagues as they are, with expansion down the lower levels so more teams can dream of making it to the national leagues (which I know is already being looked at). And I'd get rid of the stupid playoffs in CH/L1/L2, finishing 3rd or 4th in a 10 team league does not merit promotion. 1 up 1 down and 11th or 9th v 2nd, or a straight 2 up 2 down as it used to be. I like how the regional winners have to play off to gain entry to L2. The only reason behind this L3 proposal is the colts, and they can go f**k themselves.

buddiecat Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 They have no shame and if it's just the clubs who would be involved in that league who get to decide on it being established then i fear it will be so, because regional clubs will make money from regional OF twats who would attend the games.

chalky1 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Think of the costs to the highland clubs regarding travel etc to play the games. Players taking additional time of work to play. Would be very surprised if this happened. Was their not Highland club a few year ago who either refused to play or was happy to lose their game as part of the pyramid system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was their not Highland club a few year ago who either refused to play or was happy to lose their game as part of the pyramid system Your first comment here is exactly why I disagree with a fifth national league. I'm happy to see a pyramid system akin to many others, the further down it is the more regional it is. But we don't need more national leagues. I think the team you are thinking of was Brora Rangers when they faced Montrose. I've heard the claims but never really looked into them. I can say however that Cove were very bitter at their defeat to Cowdenbeath in the spring which denied them promotion, after some highly contentious refereeing.

Kemp Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 f**king disgraceful. As if the bigots don't take enough out the game they are now going to ruin the lower leagues with their reserves. I would hope as a club we will be fighting this tooth and nail. Also a league of Lowland and Highland teams is just ridiculous at that level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Just what Scotland needs - 4 OF teams spreading their bile further and wider. Looks like the new format of the Challenge Cup is reaping its intended rewards. Get Doncaster tae f**k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this can be expanded within the professional game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a large number of sides declaring interest in joining the pyramid system and it shouldn't be too long before we see further expansion. Preferably not the League 3 idea though.
