Do you think it would improve Scottish football at all if we started relegating the bottom club/s from the 2nd division and promoting the top Highland league teams or top junior teams into the senior ranks?

Sorry, that should read 3rd div, not 2nd div.

Clelandblueboy-Question too taxing for you to have an opinion on?

hey dicko, yes I'm with you on this, i think there should be a 16, 16, 16 league structure 2 up 2 down with also a pyramid system on a regional basis below that for highland league and junior teams with ambitions, i think it would be very exciting, i have been to many a highland league ground and sum of the facility's are better than those in the 3rd division, they even attract bigger crowds sum of the highland league teams have 400-500 average

Yes i think a radical shake ups needed ,also the bigger teams and the SFA SPL SFL all need to help the wee teams a bit,if only because some of the players they will poach are in these teams ,that alone should be enough,but we all need to stop just talking and really get something done,also some of the juniors right now would tan some of the lesser senior teams so they should get a chance.

Absolutely - No relegation from the 3rd Division is denying ambition and competition - simple as that.

Yes, it would make division 3 clubs work harder to stay in the top flight

ask most junior clubs,and they would rather stay where they are,promotion would cost too much money in travalling fees pollock ,the ants, make more money than albion rovers make,they get bigger crowds also.

Without a doubt, East Stirling and Elgin are not doing anyone any favours. As long as there are no more Ayrshire teams. There are already to many hun teams helping Rangers beat Celtic as it is.
