i still don't understand why people feel so strongly about this.
is there that big a difference between playing 9 teams 4 times in a ten team league and the status quo of 6 teams 3 times plus 5 teams 4 times? would or season have been that bad if accies and midden had never blackened or eyes and we played hibs, ict, st johnstone and the sheep one more time?
the reason they are trying to do this is to strenghten the teams currently in the first and make relegation from the spl less of a financial blow. you look at the problems of the likes of falkirk, qots and dundee and it's clear they need a hand.
