Precisely.
Improving grass roots will help, in every sense of the words. Look at EPL pitches, almost entirely immaculate, look at ours. It is fucking terrible, even Livi have a better pitch. At least give the players we do have the best opportunity possible to play attractive fitba.
The immediacy of the Scottish game is overwhelming most youth policies, that added to decisions made some 10 years or so ago are continuing to strangle the game.
Enlarging the league has fixture issues, it has issues with the cup comps and guess what, money too. I would like to see a 14-16 team league though as those problems are far from insurmountable.
