with all the talk of the juniors and non-league and highland leagues being restructured into a pyramid system, does this mean that this will be equated into fm, and possibly should it be?
would there be interest or demand for such a set-up? plz discuss

It's a "What if aliens landed" discussion, Chris.

They've been discussing a pyramid system as long as I can remember, it may work with SFA Affiliated teams, i.e. The Seniors, but there's a long, long way to go before Juniors would be admitted.

This year was the first ever that Juniors were allowed to compete in the Scottish Cup (and Linlithgow play QOS in the 3rd round), but it was only the 3 Superleague winners and the Junior Cup winners that were allowed to play.

Good idea in real life, in FM it's pie in the sky, I can't see SI implementing it.

Like the sub-Blue Square leagues there'd be too many factors (like player attending wedding, player working, player guttered the night before) to take into consideration, and SI have long said they'd concentrate on more countries before extending current leagues.

That said, I'd love to have the Juniors in the game as a playable Association, being a supporter of Haddington Athletic in the East Region South Division

While Kostis would love to see some Juniors.

"Scotland" and "the future" is an interesting juxtaposition.
