The pyramid system
The pyramid system where any team could get promoted to the top division has now been adopted in Scotland, and I notice that the first team to get promoted into the Scottish League via this method was Edinburgh City over the weekend. And this means that East Stirling (some Tooting fans' Scottish team) are relegated out of the league for the first time in 61 years and will now play in the Lowland League.

Re: The pyramid system
Don't see them returning any time soon either. A shame really, as it was always a source of amusement for me in the bar after a game seeing how much they get beat by. There was that one season however about four or five years ago, when they threatened to be good by getting into the promotion playoffs. Will still look for their results in the NLP next season.
Worrying thing for me though is that my Scottish team, Arbroath finished second from bottom and may well be facing the same fate this time next year!!!

Re: The pyramid system
Partick Thistle are my Scottish team because my Glaswegian dad supported them but I also always look out for Fort William's result in the Highland League because they are so bad they make East Stirling look like Barcelona. Fort William incidentally is where Bryan our groundsman comes from.
