Probably a couple of divisions below that mate. Hard to compare really.
Witht he Scottish system being such a mess tere's no real way of defining the standard. We're one of a few clubs pushing to have a Conference style system intorduced up here, that would mean having to but 3 or 4 current set ups into one, would take a lot of hard work though.

Pretty much mate lol

I was having this chat with a Rangers fan I know and we were debating about how the Scottish league system should go. He wants a 10 team Scottish Premier, 12 team SPL 2 and then two other divisions with no promotion or relegation to the non-league but I reckon they should follow the example of other smaller leagues around Europe that seem to produce decent clubs e.g. Czech Republic, Austria and Croatia and just have two large divisions of 16-20 teams with promotion and relegation to the non-leagues. I know it might not be initially financially viable or realistic but it's the way forward I reckon.

the only problem with the scottish league is the fan base imo,like the welsh league, ive seen a few welsh games they arent actually bad, ok some are overweight but they aint bad, the welsh league needs a heck alot of fans going. Like the plastics who support man ure etc. They dont even need to sing or cheer, just support your local team

Yeah, I think it's certainly a case of giving them more funding which goes back to the governing bodies. In Wales particularly, clubs are so focused on just getting by and surviving financially that they can't even begin to consider advertising or marketing or promotional offers to get the fans in.

Again, that's another debate for another day... the state of the FAW. They have such a good opportunity to make Welsh League be a cult thing to do. Do offers that link in with the local community e.g. if you buy a ticket get a cinema ticket for half price or something or hand out vouchers at games for things. They don't seem that arsed though.

Personally I think they should be looking to expand the top division to 16 teams, the bigger teams want a ten team league so they can keep more games with the bigger teams.

They have went from 10 - 12 - 10 -12 too many times in the last 20 years and it hasn't made any difference. They also couldn't care less about the rest of the clubs outwith their own little top ten(12).

For me it would be a top division of 16, then two divisions of 14 a Conference type division of 16, supplemented by a conference feeder and a number of regional feeder leagues to get into that. It would take time and monye, but the Scottish game is dead on it's feet and has been for years. It needs a complete revamp from head to toe.

We currently have the SPL of 12, followed by 30 SFL clubs, then we have the Junior(Semi Pro in North, East & West Regions) FA, the Highland League, East of Scotland and South of Scotland FA's as well as the SFA.

For a country of our size it's far too much.

Not that I fancy a rant on it

its a real shame, football actually benefits the economy, the british government must makes millions of pounds due to taxes payed by the clubs, local pubs, chipshops etc make money due to people wanting beverages, and away fans visiting the town will not only drink, but if the police let them they can go shopping etc.

4-1 win tonight

Annbank Utd arn't doing to good,,why is that?

I hope none of the Bankie's players have third party agreements the SFA don't know about, after all we don't want a points deduction f**king promotion up

Our league actually suspended tonights opponents for a season and relegated them three divisions in the 90's for falsifying documents!

Annbank are a bit of a yoyo team. They do well to survive with no backers and crowds of 30. A ground we often struggle at too, typically!

So good that I had to tell you twice Tony

Away to Annbank on Saturday

ptb, will you be playing Hearts soon?

Unlikely in the next ten years Rick - unless we win our top division or Scottish Cup to get into the real Scottish Cup and get to the 4th round!

Or we could get Buchanhaven Hearts in our own Scottish Cup
