54andcounting 0 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) By the time the SFL clubs get to vote on whether we have a bottom tier of 18 or 10, the 2012/13 league positions will almost certainly be more clear. Lets assume the current SFL 2 and 3 league positions today remain as they are. 7 Clubs who'll most likely vote for an 18 team set up will be: Peterhead Elgin City Stirling A. Annan Ath. E. Stirling Clyde ...and Albion Rovers from Div 2 who'll pass Rangers on the way down This will guarantee a bumper pay day when they welcome Rangers to town, something they'll definitely all miss out on with a third and fourth tier of 10, so daft not to. With the top two in Div 2 joining the 2nd tier 12 Clubs this leaves the other 6 (Albion relegated, East Fife play-offs) most likely to vote for the 10-10 system. Brechin City Forfar Arbroath Stenhousemuir Ayr United Stranraer For the simple reason...2 bumper home gates playing Rangers in the third tier. If the 10-10 system is preferred, the play-offs in Div 3 involving Queens Park Montrose Berwick East Fife (Div 2) would go ahead and leave these clubs gambling on what to vote for..... Win the play-offs and it's 2 handsome pay days when Rangers visit in the third tier of 10 teams, or lose the play-offs and get nothing but will secure '2nd prize' of 1 guaranteed pay day in an 18 team set up. Are you following this? All the above clubs decisions depend on one thing....RANGERS, yes Rangers, the one club who don't get to vote. How the rest of the SFL clubs vote...who knows.

No need to have 17 clubs out of 29 voting for self interest instead of the good of Scottish football 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthter 542 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 two leagues a first division and a second division now lets get on with it before its to late Regardless of how many leagues, and any fancy splits & mini leagues etc, it still going to be the same teams playing week in, week out. Go for the simple option & get on with the actual football (IMHO...) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
