Three division periods edit

The first three division period referred to is in fact not so. In the 1920s/30s the league went to three divisions for a short time, and in the late 40s/early 50s there was a spell of three divisions.

Will probably amend the article to reflect this sometime when I can be bothered.

Professional? edit

Is this a fully professional league, semi-professional or amateur (doubt very much that it is amateur)? Thanks ... this relates to satisfaction of WP:ATHLETE for members of the league. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Years in etc edit

Why is 1891-92 in Scottish football included as in 1894 and 1895 for both "years of football (soccer)" and "years in Scotland". Likewise 1892-93 in Scottish football. I would alter them to 1891 & 1892 and 1892 & 1893 except that I might be missing something. Not being a fan of the game, but I was browsing "years in Scotland" Hugo999 (talk) 06:50, 17 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Scottish Professional Football League edit

It might be worth discussing name changes that will need done when the Scottish Professional Football League is formed in time for season 2013/14 in place of the Scottish Premier League & Scottish Football League as detailed at http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/aberdeen/229116-scottish-football-league-clubs-pass-league-reconstruction-vote/ obviously to actually do any name changes we would really have to wait until it has been formalised by the 42 clubs & when we know what the actual names of the leagues will be & the logo(s).

I think it's obvious some of the changes, Scottish Football League First Division being a simple name change to the new name, same for Second & Third Division articles & the articles for those leagues for the upcoming season. The 2013–14 Scottish Premier League article also being a simple name change but what is debatable is the main articles for the Scottish Premier League & Scottish Football League, do we merge these into an article named Scottish Professional Football League or are these articles being kept for the leagues themselves, the SFL being the 3 lower leagues?

Woah. I don't think moving the present division articles is a good idea. Essentially those divisions are ceasing to exist and are being replaced by a new structure. Wait a wee while before doing anything this time, please? Jmorrison230582 (talk) 13:29, 12 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Did I not just say "it might be worth discussing" & also included a question mark so I'm unsure where you read that I was going to do anything? (Lbarnett-bl (talk) 13:37, 12 June 2013 (UTC))Reply
As regards the moving of articles, surely at least the article for 2013–14 Scottish Premier League & the corresponding articles for the SFL leagues would be a simple move as they do not reflect something in the past or present, they are about the upcoming season which will be under the new structure?
