    Roy, this is what you said in 2012.

     “The majority of fans throughout the country are telling us the SPL structure as it stands isn’t working.

    “The customer is telling us the product isn’t right and interest has started to wane. We need to grow up and do something about that before giving anyone the opportunity to say the game is dying.

    “We’re doing fine and we’re getting to know the league but I’m more interested in reconstruction.

    “I have no view as yet on what is the perfect solution, whether it’s to expand the league to 14 or even 16, but we have to take a longer-term view of the SPL.”

    Don't betray "the majority of fans throughout the country" Roy.  Man up and let's have some Highland solidarity here!

    Didn’t Ross County vote against league reconstruction in 2012?

    Heard that the SPFL is refusing to give out the money...Why? Because they didn't get their loan back...from Gretna...12 YEARS AGO. 

    Although it wasn’t a loan that was given to them, it was an advance of their prize money for finishing last. The whole thing is a shambles.

    Not a fan of this at all. Just serves as a self preservation for the clubs that have been stagnating for years. Time to get all the dead wood out of league two. With the West of Scotland league going ahead next season as well lower league football is going to get very interesting over the next few years.

    Been having a look at your channel. Terrific stuff. And lots more to come. What an amazing history the club has packed in, especially in the Cup. Just been reliving the Partick game from 2002 from my own stuff, what a game and great coverage of the team travelling down from a snowbound Inverness.That team would walk the Championship nowadays. Also the Clyde game in 2004.

    Two of my favourite games, would enjoy looking back at them!

    There’s a lot of money in a few clubs but given the current composition of League 2, Brechin, Elgin and Cove are the only teams north of the Tay and Cove are being promoted, so chances are the bottom two are likely to end in the Lowland League in the early years at least. 

    That said, I support the principal of freshening the league. 

    Misread your post the first time. If there was to be an automatic promotion place then I think they would then need to promote one extra every year from a feeder division below if a highland side wasn’t being relegated.

    The plan is to have it like the structure is now, based on latitude to the middle of the Tay Bridge, and assuming both relegated teams are north/south of the bridge, the northernmost/southernmost will go into the respective league.

    Sod knows what happens if they're at a similar latitude, I think there was a similar issue in the National League North/South last season, where both teams were from the South, so one had to bite the bullet and play in the National League North.

    In the past they have just rejigged the Lowland league to accommodate a new team coming in.

    There is currently no plan for Livi to be on board with.  What they are on board with is their own proposal.

    I don't like their proposal as it seems to do away with the play offs apart from potentially between the Championship and the Premiership.  The play-offs keep the season meaningful to the end of the season for several clubs.  I'm not sure why they would want to move away from that.

    It make it fair again. The club finishing 4th has no right to be promoted. Second place  far deserves it due to their hard work over an entire season.

    That was a few years ago. It would leave us in the Championship next season so no real benefit to us. 

    2012, it would leave us in the championship but after 22 games the top 4 then joins with the bottom 4 for another 14 games, top 4 promoted bottom 4 relegated. I quite liked the idea.

    Won't bother thanks. We were never in the game : all we were doing was trying to stop Hearts scoring. Worst ever performance in a 'big match' by miles (and I've been at them all).

    I disagree with that, we were 0-0 at half time and had a few chances to equalise that was just unlucky. We ran out of steam and didn’t deserve to lose 3-0.  We were worse against Hibs last season in the Scottish Cup Quarters.

    All teams had only one game to play, and Bruges were 15 points ahead.

    So no, that's not likely to set a precedent for anywhere else!

    Not true, one Game until the Split. Where after the Split the total pts is then halved. So the gap would therefore be 8 pts with 11 games to play....
