    Didn’t Ann Budge maybe want to do similar, until Hearts own interests came into it 😂

    Ultimately there has to be a small top division to make things interesting and so the small amount of money there is in Scottish football is not spread too widely

    See i remember the 18 team top league and it was utter shyte,we had run of the mill games with crowds of 3000.I would be interested to see our average crowd from when Jim came in 1971 to 1975 and compare it with the period 1975 to 1980.There were so many meaningless games from February on it was soul destroying.
    Our greatest ever manager did everything he could in the early years to get the crowds up it was unbelievable,pillow fights,pie eating competitions,free Mars Bars for bairns etc etc all to no avail.
    The only advantage to an 18 team league was relegation was easier to avoid.When it went to a top league of 10 it was FN brutal but very very exciting

    You might remember united also put free buses on from various parts of Dundee to Tannadice. If I remember right surprisingly they didn't prove popular and were stopped.

    I can't see any change happening.
    Doomed to fail.
    Let Ms Budge and Mr Nelms have a good discussion/moan and then they can put it to the vote.


    Predicted outcome for changing structure
    YES 9% No 89% Can't work their email 2% but think they have voted
