the difference is up in scotland there is a lack of competition up there because of the size of the clubs, based on attendances and where most of the urban conurbations live and are situated.

in england we have far more clubs on a similiar level but we have far more major cities as the population is more evenly spread out .

the scottish league is boring due to lack of competiton , the english league is boring due the obscene amounts of money the top clubs now receive and the introduction of the premier league and sky tv .

we had the fa cup semi final draw yesterday , four out of the top five clubs in the premier league are still involved and some people still pretend that the premier league is not a closed shop. the romance of the fa cup died years along with a more competitive and evenly spread premier league . until that changes the majority of fans of other clubs in both england and scotland will have to suffer the continuous domination and borefest of the same few clubs ruling the roost.
