Does anyone know if the 6000 seater stadium requirement still exists for the top-tier post SPL/SFL merger?
I ask because it looks like one of Queen of the South and Dumbarton will finish in the play-off spot, and neither of their grounds meet that. I know Palmerston had provisional plans a few years back but not sure if they could still do it. Dumbarton's stadium would presumably be quite difficult to get up to spec, even if they tried a Scotstoun job.
If the stadium criteria still exist, and one of the play-off participants cannot fulfil it, would they be excluded from the play-offs? If so, would the team in 5th or 6th become eligible, or would it just be a bye? If they win the play-offs does the 11th placed side in the Premiership just stay up?
