Cove_Sheep Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 9 minutes ago, Rossy said: Lower league teams have been beating Premiership sides regularly for years now. It isn't just a new phenomenom because we have Rangers and Hibs in the Championship. League expansion should have happened years ago. 'Lower' teams in this case who will have a bigger budget than most of the top flight clubs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 1 hour ago, sbcmfc said: Agree to a point. Although with less league games, would the league cup move to weekends rather than midweek? That may help? This has been a fairly unique couple of seasons with traditionally bigger clubs in the 2nd tier, and likely be 1 or 2, maybe even 3 bigger teams there next year. Lets be honest though, if 2 from Hamilton, Patrick thistle, ICT, Ross county, stjohnstone, Dundee... went down and Rangers and Hibs came up, most folk would go back to not giving a hoot about the 2nd tier. You forgot to mention Motherwell in your list of diddy teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame St Mirren got relegated, they were main stays in my diddy team examples. Motherwell, Killie and Dundee United were the "dot dot dot", Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell, Killie and Dundee United were the "dot dot dot", I know, I spent years falling out with Marky and Jim because whenever I thought about a Premiership diddy team, St Mirren came instantly to mind. They were my go-to example. And then they got relegated and became a real diddy team, and I can't use them anymore.

Toepoke Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'd go for a 16 team top league. If we've discovered anything over the past 4 years it's that 4 Old Firm games a season aren't essential. 30 league games a season is more than enough, especially with an expanded League Cup. Might give a bit more space in the year to focus on other sports too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Poland have a 16 team league with a split after 30 games. I'd go for that. Total of 37 games. I'd like to give that a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd doubt the teams battling it out at the top and bottom would be happy an uneven home/away split with their direct rivals. It'd be interesting to hear what the Poles make of it?
