Scottish Football Reconstruction

Proposals for the reconstruction and future of Scottish Club Football.

@Improving_Scot The clubs allow clowns to run the SPFL.

The fans allow the clowns that run the clubs, to allow this.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@Chris_ra67 Come on, let's not kid ourselves here.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@Jamie_Millard @SPFLWatch I'm not lowering myself to your level.

If you have to use personal insults in a debate, that's a reflection of IQ level.

Replying with a photo of yourself, is a hint to look in the mirror and reflect on yourself, before throwing out personal insults to people online.

Bye.

@UnoDosDuff @SPFLWatch Everyone plays the same teams, the same number or times though.

It's fair

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@SPFLpyramid It creates on unfair split of home & away fixtures.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

I've argued for & against countless reconstruction ideas.

Whether it be 10/12/14/16/18/20 teams in the Prem.

2 things are clear to me:

1️⃣ We NEED change.

2️⃣ We NEED a simple format, that doesn't involve any split.

❌ 12/14/16 does not work well.

✅ 18/20 is the way forward.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@SPFLWatch I obviously understand it.

But the average football fan outside of Scotland isn't going to put any effort into learning how it works.

It's just another reason to put potential interest off.

No comment on the unfair number of home & away games or playing each other 4 times

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@SPFLWatch @sean_r1tch1e Also, you don't comment on the main point about a random number of home and away games being unfair.

An absolute basic basis of a league should be that each team plays the same number of home games and the same number of away games against each other. Symmetrical. Not random

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@SPFLWatch @sean_r1tch1e If you want something to be accepted by the masses and gain as much interest as possible, then it has to be very easy to follow.

So easy that a moron could follow it.

Each team playing home and away is as basic and easy to follow as it gets.
That's successful.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@SPFLWatch @sean_r1tch1e So I'm a moron for thinking it ridiculous?

Neutrals see it as a joke.

When you see the league table on Sky Sports news or other media outlets, the table isn't represented as 2 split leagues, it's shown as 1 league with no indication of a split.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@DJH_EK @JK13rr Better than playing each other a million times.

When we play Championship teams in the cup, it's a refreshing change.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

Thoughts on this?

---------------------------

Scottish Professional Football:

Premiership = 20 Teams (38 Games)

---------------------------

Scottish Conference Football:

Division 1 = 10 Teams (36 Games)

Division 2 = 10 Teams (36 Games)

Division 3 = 10 Teams (36 Games)

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@Stuger70 @jmothecat Then you can play those same teams 2 more times in the cups or even more if you draw.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@mr_ryong How so?

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@andrewmcgurn03 Yes you're right, everyone loves watching their team play the same teams 500 times per season. It's so exciting, knowing that if your team doesn't beat another team, you'll have another 5 or 6 times to beat them that season.

Sky love it. That's why they broadcast so many games.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@TamarSports Middle ground - 18 teams - 34 games.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@MSyzlak I don't think they want to tbh.

Rangers have been advocating for change for a long time.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@Alan_38_ Playing each other 500 times a season isn't a good selling point.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@Alan_38_ I'd agree if it were 18-10-10 and then regional.

[Scottish Football Reconstruction @SPFL_Future]

@willgeorge1514 This is less teams in the Professional setup.

22 less teams.
