Realise this has been discussed many times before but with the split coming up, what's your thoughts?
Personally I'd rather a 14 team league, plenty room for a Dundee Utd/Raith etc in the top league, play each other home and away = 26 games, split into top and bottom of 7 teams, play each other twice again = 12 games (38 game season).
This would mean there would be no playing certain teams inequal times home/away.
The first stage of the season competitiveness in getting into top 7. The second stage (post split) would be earlier, so there would be games between stronger opponents, no more games at this stage against the likes of Livi where 3 points are virtually guaranteed.
Obviously you'd struggle to get the lower league teams to vote for it as it'd mean only 1 home game guaranteed against us and them. But the way they're going, they clearly don't want our fans there anyway, as they're considering reducing our allocation all the time.
Or would you prefer to do away with any kind of split at all?
