Reserve League is a good move I think. Will be a good test for youngsters to play against some seasoned players. Probably a better indication if they’re ready for first team fitbaw

Clubs can’t afford to have a reserve team with senior players, there’ll be a couple that are coming back from injury or need game time but they could play last season anyway.
How many times did we want to play a senior player but couldn’t as we already had our maximum number of overage players? I’d guess at none.

Are the home games going to be getting played at Easter Road or East Mains?

The Development team were predominantly all Dev/youth players with an occasional senior in the team, the reserve league will have no limitations re senior players, this might help the younger ones as they'll probably play against more senior players this year.

I also think it’s a great idea to get it back. It will help older guys get match fitness after injury or just game time when they haven’t been playing.

Our squad isn’t suddenly going to get much bigger, and I’d imagine that’s the case for all teams out with rangers and Celtic, so not sure it’ll really make much difference.

Makes you wonder why they scrapped the reserve league in the first place.

A reserve league will mean we don't have to try and fast track young players into the 1st team when they're not ready, it will also put a stop to the development loans where players are training with us through the week and linking up with their loan clubs for 1 nights training and a game on saturday. Plus it'll stop young players having to play 2 games per week, once for the development team and once for their loan club. There will be a youth league which will allow the younger players who aren't quite ready to play in the reserve league/old Dev league, some of the young 16 yr olds are up against 18-20 yr olds.
It may mean we have a bench full of mostly senior players giving us extra strength in depth in games.

I think There will still be a difference in playing first team games in the lower leagues, where boys depend on win bonuses for their living.than playing in the reserve games .. more competitive and developmental in the first team games
Also, likely that most clubs won’t be able to afford squads which are any different from last season - so I suspect it might end up being similar types of matches that was previously badged U20s.. hope I’m wrong though

Hearts will have all the over 25s in this league. The better Players (u17s) will play for the first team.

The way I see it is yes the re branding and structure may make it a more competitive league, but how many teams in the league have big enough squads that more than a couple of senior players will be available to play in the reserve league. Which is how it was last season, can only have a couple of players coming back from injury at one time which was facilitated in the old league.
Will be interesting to see how it is over the season

Why was the original reserve league scrapped back in 2009?

So now the only way to "blood" players like Shaw, Martin and Murray etc is to either loan them to clubs at a lower level or throw them in at the deep end.
But in answer to your question: I don't know 😂

Well, if SJM does go to Sellik, this is where he will likely play most of his games!!

From a Hibs perspective at this time, a move from Development league to Teaerve league works in well. We have a group of youngish players, who may have been too old to play in next years Development league. So they get another year to see if they can make the step up. Think boys have been getting discarded too young. Hope this helps them
Hibs only occasionally played over age players in the league last season, can’t see this changing much this season either. The bulk of last seasons Development team will be our reserve team this season
Not sure what other clubs will do though

Some of our more senior pros in Scotland get a free ride. Sit on the bench as unused sub on Saturday then off to golf course on Monday now it will be off to play footie on Mobday and sharpen up their match fitness whilst th youngsters run them ragged.
