Spl In Talks Over Plans To Send Celtic To Fir Park For Third Time

[Special aka]

and why not ? we'll be playing our home games there next season

[MFCGMFC]

why dont we combine the 1st division and the spl cause there is a few good teams in there that have played in the spl st johnstone, dunfermline, partick, dundee etc

 

Spl + 1st

 

then..

 

Div 2 + Div 3

 

Then...

 

highland league

 

Then...

 

junior leagues

 

what do ya think?

 

i think it would provide better games and with more teams there could be better competition and maybe more cash generated?

 

its just a thought

[Wellfan1984]

1. Where do the other Non League Senior Leagues sides come in?

 

2. Junior Teams have no interest of joining with the Senior Set-up! Would cost them too much.

 

3. The second and third division should not be the next league down! There are better stadiums playing in the 5th Division of Spain!

[awaythelads]

for what its worth, I'd go for

 

SPL - 16 teams - play each other twice 2 down automatically 1 more in round robin playoff

 

Div 1 North - 16 teams - Champs promoted, 2nd in round robin playoff

 

Div 1 South - 16 teams - Champs promoted, 2nd in round robin playoff

 

Make up games by bringing back the League Cup - 8 groups of 6 seeded (48 teams), play once (like UEFA Cup), top 2 progress to Last 16 of League Cup. Lets the wee teams get 1 or 2 games a season against top flight

 

Div 2 North? - Highland League Maybe and Div 2 South being South of Scotland League ..... start of a pyramid structure

 

 

Back on topic though .... make Hearts the team affected by 3 visit problem and cut the moaning of the Old Firm at us ..... we should have been the seeded Top 6 when guessing for the split who would be Top 6 this year

[Chrismfcno1]

Spl Same as it is Except with 2 relegated teams instead of 1.

 

12 team Spl 2

 

Spl 2: Airdrie

Dundee

Dunfermline

Partick

Queens

Livi

(Clyde)

Morton

Ross County

(Whoever gets Relegated On the basis St Johnstone get promoted)

 

+ Raith Rovers

Ayr United

 

(Clyde/Stirling Albion) - whatever has the bigger fan base

 

Regionalise rest of the teams into divisions eg Elgin to the Highland league Etc, Increase coverage of top junior leagues, Highlights etc to Increase awareness, Larger Crowds For the likes of Elgin with chance of winning league etc..

Merge SPL,SFL,SFA into 1 governing body

 

Premier League - 16 team

(play each other twice = 30 games, break in Jan / Feb after New Year fixtures + scottish cup weekend)

2 up / 2 down, 3rd in div1 + 3rd bottom in premier play off

 

Division 1 - 16 team

(play each other twice, winter break)

2 up / 2 down , 3rd in div1 + 3rd bottom in premier play off

 

Division 2 - 10 team

(play each other 4 times, no winter break (possibly giving these clubs a wee crowd boost then)

2 up / 2 down, 3rd in div 2 + 3rd bottom in div 1 play off

 

 

Premier -

All Seated Ground,

Some appropriate form of Pitch Protection

25 man squad maximum (of which 8 must be under 21 and 4 of these u-21`s must be "home Grown" ie, have been signed with their home club for 3 years or more)

Universal price policy - £15 Adult, £8 Concession, £25 Family (Adult + 2 Kids)

 

TV Money more equal, 60% split evenly between ALL 16 member clubs, 40% remainder split into the televised matches where home team gets 75%, away team 25%

- Ie 10m per season, £6m split between 16 teams = £375k + £4m split between 40 games = £100k per game , £75k home team, £25k away team
