Mark Warburton: SPFL should extend the top-tier


Recommended Posts

These clubs get 300-400 supporters in a good week.Give them more power and money?Count me out.

20 of these clubs put together wouldnt fill the copland road stand!!It wont change,ever!!

 

Bear in mind that we need to have teams to play against and even some in the lower or indeed higher reaches of the current SPFL struggle to attract more than 3,000.

 

However, it's hard to see how a realisitic audit of Scottish "senior football" would find 10 viable premier league clubs never mind 16. As it happens the ones lower down with 300/400 fans actually ARE viable because they cut their cloth accordingly.

One might throw in the fact that some of the smaller teams - at this moment and time - probably won't have the money to look to "better themselves", simply for logistic reasons. Methinks the team battling it out for promotion from the Highland league to the 4th tier almost conceded their tie, as they would not be able to afford the away games if they were to get promotion. They eventually narrowly lost out on the field of play, but I would imagine that for some, these sort of problems may stop them from any changes.

 

There's a nother reason - ground safety certification.

 

That's why a lot of the top Junior teams e.g. Pollok and Auchinleck are very happy where they are and why there wasn't exactly a scramble to join the new Lowland League.
