Just noticed that the winners of the Highland and Lowland leagues enter a playoff with the bottom team in League Two this season, effectively expanding the leagues to five levels.
Good to see things heading in the right direction.

The pyramid is definitely a good idea in principle, but I wonder if the structure as it stands makes it a good idea. Let's say Brora win the play offs. They'll have massive trips to every away game. Is there enough prize money in Division 3, or whatever it's called, to make this worth their while?
it'll never happen, but I think we'd be best with just two "top" divisions, with a third tier comprising maybe four regional groups, with play offs up from there to "Division 2". As I say, I know it'll never happen.......

I didn't realise this had happened.
I would say this is certainly a positive move.

Two top leagues of 16 and a regional pyramid system below that. Play each other home and away. 30 league games and revamp the league cup into a regional almost ore season competition with knockout stages once the season is underway proper.

That's what they used to do in England when the Third Division was regionalised.
If say two Southern teams were relegated from Division Two, then a Midland team would move from Division Three South to Division Three North.

Not perfect but finally Scotland has made a step in the right direction...the fact that a team could stay in the professional league even if they were totally rank year after year after year was just plain stupid.
