Let’s take another example, Kelty Hearts have just moved from Junior football into the east of Scotland League with the explicit intent of moving up the pyramid. How galling must it be for them, who’ve put years of hard work into getting licensed and had to commit to the pyramid starting at tier 6, to see youth teams stuck straight into league 2.
This proposal is an insult to every lower league club, you’d be as well saying that competing on merit doesn’t matter.
