I personally think it's the fairest way to deal with the situation if fixtures could not be forfilled, a larger league with each team playing each other twice makes for a more competitive one also I wish people would stop conflating the response to Coranovirus with their views about league restructuring.

SPFL could make this work. 2 up from the championship, 2 into the championship, 2 into league 1 and the lowland and highland league winners into league 2, simple, sorted. Too simple? Probably. I don’t see how it would be deemed acceptable to have no relegation if the season is declared null and void but would be acceptable to have promotion. Surely you’d be looking at the same potential legal challenges from teams not given the chance to get promoted over a full season that you would say, Hearts relegated this weekend. Surely fairer to have no relegation or promotion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidd’s Boots Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If the authorities were to cancel/suspend/ make null and void this season due to Covid 19, I wonder how many of the 42 SPFL member clubs would survive financially without 8-9 weeks worth of gate receipts?

Any one of half, probably more, teams in the League could finish 2nd and go up if the top flight was extended to 14. An unprecedented logistical nightmare.
