| 22. Author: John-Boy Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 16:18 30 games a season is a non-starter. Reducing home games reduces income. If 16 (plus a split) was to progress, I’d like to see the team finishing top of the bottom half entered into a semi-final with the 5th, 6th and 7th placed team for entry into Europe. Would also need 2 automatic relegations plus a play off to avoid meaningless games in the bottom half. Would mean you’d always be close to a position of interest ie sitting 10th, you are close to that play off European spot. As a side note - I’d also remove European Qualification from Scottish Cup Final appearance. And of course, the standard of the referees, pricing, alcohol, kick off times - all these need to be thrown into the conversation if we are ever serious about improving the experience.

| 24. Author: Jock Par36 Date: Tue 14th Oct 2025. 20:01 A Premiership with 18 teams, playing each other twice a season. Then a Championship the same. Also a league one north and a league one south. Top team in each league being promoted and both 2cd tops into a play off. Reply |

| 30. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Wed 15th Oct 2025. 15:21 14 team league is the only thing that’s been taken seriously in the past couple of years and with a 6/8 split would mean the bigot brothers and most likely the Edinburgh teams would get their precious 4 games to satisfy SKY but the opposition to that was the bottom 8 playing more games than the rest. Nothings going to happen until a new TV deal is in place that would satisfy 3 derby games a season. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
| 31. Author: kelty_par Date: Wed 15th Oct 2025. 17:47 "As a side note - I’d also remove European Qualification from Scottish Cup Final appearance." That`s been the case for quite some time now. You have to win the cup to get the European spot. The only slight change I think is that the cup winners have a higher "rank" than teams finishing third so enter a round later, meaning for the last few seasons they have had guaranteed group stage football.

| 32. Author: BlackLight Date: Thu 16th Oct 2025. 05:25 How about we settle on a 16 or 18 team structure (whatever works best) and then have a Glasgow Cup competition, in which all teams compete over multiple home and away legs? The two cheeks can play each other 127 times per season and the rest of us can enjoy a bit more variety in the fixture list. Reply |
| 33. Author: MinnesotaAndy Date: Thu 16th Oct 2025. 10:14 Larger leagues would support more variety in the fixture list and allow traditional, one time home & away fixtures. IMO these are very strong positives. If more games are needed, a split would do the job. But maybe more games could come about with a rethink of the structure of the league cup. A larger group stage (which involves all the clubs) with the top two progressing to the knock-out phase might work. Reply |
| 34. Author: parsmad68 Date: Thu 16th Oct 2025. 11:46 We talk about league reconstruction but I would really like to know the model of full and part time funding. There is no club in the championship that has the ability to sustain full time football under the current structure without outside support. That is the elephant in the room when these discussions come up. If the Premier League were so concerned about competitiveness then they would have to address this elephant in a reasonable manner. So any fiddling with the league structure, the specific aims and goals of doing the change would have to be clear to all stakeholders because a change requested by ever present Premiership teams stinks to high heaven for me.
