Supporters Direct Scotland, the voice of football supporters’ trusts in Scotland, today publishes The Fans’ Plan – key recommendations to shape the future of Scottish league football based on the results of supporters’ surveys over the past two years and a detailed analysis of the issues facing the game.

The Fans’ Plan calls for:

• greater competition within Scottish league football structures
• equal funding for each team in a league
• support for clubs by central league management to increase the average attendance over a season of 20% by 2016, and achieve an average stadium capacity utilisation of 65% within 10 years
• two leagues of 16 teams, and a qualifying league of 10
• re-introducing the League Cup, with a mini-league qualifying format structured on a geographical basis with four teams in each group
• improved training and professional development for all players including greater use of Modern Apprenticeships and post-career planning
• the establishment and implementation of a strong club licensing scheme
