DesertDawg Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 You'd think so but another factor is that money seems very tight due to sponsor cancellations and dropping crowds after the Goodwillie fiasco in which McGlynn was apparently involved, or he'd probably still be there.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Outstanding for Queen's Park. Honestly would love to see them and all their history break through to the top tier. And since I'm behind on this thread, I keep thinking of how some Highland clubs have said they would decline promotion to the SPFL because it wouldn't improve their revenues and would just add a lot of travel expenses for them and their fans. Says it all about how badly the lower end of the SPFL needs to be regionalized, or simply merged down into the already regionalized lower pyramid. Two 16 team leagues with better revenue sharing and revive the city cups over Christmas and Hogmany. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is geared towards the team that finishes second bottom. If you look at the other leagues, Dunfermline and Dumbarton, who finished second bottom in the Championship and League 1 respectively, were both relegated in the play-off semis by the teams who finished 4th in the league below, who both then went on to win their play-off final. For 4th place in the Championship to get promoted they'd have to beat 3rd place, then 2nd place then 2nd bottom of the Premiership who automatically make the play-off final.

Cove are a bit of a special case, though, eh? Being in the Aberdeen conurbanization means their fans have access to better transit links, plus the distant chance of establishing a true Aberdeen derby. Their growth potential is really another level compared to, say, Wick Academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I've talked to fans of lower league clubs in England, most of them hate the play-offs because they feel it is unfair that you can finish third, massively outperforming a team in 6th over the league season, but then get the team in 6th going up on the back of a couple of games. In Scotland, making it an extra step harder for the team that finishes 3rd or 4th to get up than the team that finishes 2nd makes a lot of sense. It rewards the better performance in the league. Whether the team in 11th should be included is a different question. Edited May 15, 2022 by Saint Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two 16 team leagues with better revenue sharing and revive the city cups over Christmas and Hogmany. Sorted. Queens Park are certainly determined to get back to where they were early in their history. Will be fascinating to see how they get on in the Championship. I think promotion and relegation has made the leagues quite interesting for next season in the lower leagues. League Two could see Bonnyrigg do what Kelty did this season. League One is getting tougher and tougher. You have the upstart climbers in Kelty and Edinburgh City, the close rans in Airdrie and Montrose. Alloa can be a surprise, and of course the fallen giants (relative to the third tier) of Falkirk and Dunfermline. The Championship will be as tough as ever, you have a lot of similar size clubs in Partick, Hamilton, Dundee, then the ones who could push in Raith, will Arbroath be able to do the same as this season? St Johnstone or Inverness as well. Then you have the joker of Cove Rangers, are they still going to have an upward trajectory. It could make things very interesting.

HMFC01 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Inverness have players missing tonight. Looks like they are going to struggle to get a draw.
