Papers this morning are mentioning that a 12 team fifth tier is in discussion, which on the face of it sounds like a good idea. However, read more closely and you find out that FOUR of the "new" teams in this league will be Premiership B teams.
Fed up of this backdoor reserve indoctrination - we should have proper clubs in our main leagues instead of pretend clubs.
Also, just wondering - how will these teams be chosen, exactly? On league finishes since the inception of the SPFL I'd guess it would be Celtic, Aberdeen, Motherwell and Hearts/St Johnstone? Nope, that doesn't work - we're missing one particular club this is clearly being put in place for (despite everyone pretending otherwise). Maybe they'll go with the top four highest placed clubs this season, though I'm sure if Stevie Gee's men finish 5th or lower they'll find some way of retroactively changing the eligibility criteria.

We already have the Lowland League do we really need a sixth league in a small country like Scotland?

Being honest, we need fewer teams in the national senior football leagues and not more. This plan seems to suggest eight additions plus four colts.
And as has been pointed out, who will be the four colts teams? Will all the best youngsters move to those clubs? What happens to youngsters at other clubs?Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Maybe clutching at straws here, but I’m now wondering if this has partially something to do with Hibs wanting a full size indoor pitch as well as for training on.

We dont need this new "5th Tier" we already have it. What we do need are squad limits. 24 registered players for the SPFL at all levels, a proper Academy structure. That way the talent gets spread and the uglies will think twice about signing up every talented player who pises a threat to the dominance under the sun. Take the NFL roster system and tweak it.
We dont need more leagues and more teams we need to ensure the talent is not concentrated in two cespools
