I am currently about to start a new Scottish league as Golspie Sutherland.

I'm not too sure if anyone has ever used this Custom Database but it is excellent and really revamps the scottish league into something special. The added bonus of going teams like Inverness City or Clachnacuddin is good is well.

Sorry for the ridiculously long message but i just wanted to let you's all know the details and maybe this will interest you to give it a go.

Manage any of 268 teams competing on six tiers set out at National, Regional and District level.

Promotion and Relegation from each tier/level.

In addition to the Scottish Cup, which is open to every team in the structure, there are a further three Cup Competitions, one for each of the National, Regional and District levels.

Access List:

* Current SPL and SFL teams.

* Senior non-league teams ( Highland , East of Scotland and South of Scotland Leagues).

* North Region Juniors (Premier, Division 1 and Division 2)

* East Region Juniors (Super, Premier, North, Central and South)

I thought the exact same thing, Its a brilliant idea for a set up. I found the database a couple of months ago on the Sports Interactive (SI) Community. Here is the link but you need to be a member to view the forum so just sign up.

Its called the Scottish Pyramid, Platinum Edition.

The only thing i didn't like about it was the several B teams that are in the lower leagues. They completely run riot as they are using 2nd string players from Rangers,Celtic Aberdeen etc. They can't get promoted after a certain league so whoever finished below them ends up being promoted. Unless of course you go Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen etc then its brilliant as your 2nd string players get first team experience and are kept more than happy playing first team football.

That looks really good. Look me a wee while to understand it all though!
