So what will the SPFL decide? Do you really think that the SPFL will put up much of an argument to let the leagues below the championship start up again. As long as the premier league is allowed to play that is all they want. Also with some of the bigger 'elite' clubs in the championship struggling it wont be long until they call for no promotion to the championship or relegation from it.

Auld Jag Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Just watched the Wales v England six nations game. 4 in the makeshift studio in the stand, 2 commentating and 1 to interview players/managers after game. Have we ever needed this amount to cover a rugby match. But surely in today's circumstances when we are told you should only travel in essential circumstances, that is way over the top.

A similar majority would be required to agree to null and void the lower leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 so ... if 3 teams in either league want the null and void and 3 teams in either league want to play on, we are probably stuck with the status quo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be fun and games (or fun and no games?) when the status quo requires clubs to play their remaining 16-19 fixtures plus play off games. Oh, and not to forget we've all outstanding Cup ties, which usually take priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two really strong Colt Teams that get to the top of the Championship and push for promotion. Offer to leave the Colt Teams in Scotland and take the big teams to England. 1. I wish they would just leave 2. I hope they take their Colt Teams with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, all it would take to protect any "big" team in the Championship getting punished like us last season would be to simply say that Leagues 1 and 2 are null and void, so no promotion and no relegation. "Rules" and decisions changed again, after we've been shafted, and in favour of other clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
