SPL play-off plan to be retained if First Division clubs break away
The 10 second tier sides want to join the top flight after failing to get full support for reconstruction.
Second Division: 4 May 2013 Stenhousemuir 1 - 2 Stranraer
The 10 second tier sides want to join the top flight after failing to get full support for reconstruction.
Plans to give £270,000 more to lower league clubs were rejected by the SPL this week.
Hamilton chairman Les Gray says second tier sides can't afford to 'sit and do nothing'.
Meeting of all 30 SFL clubs has added 'optimism' to hopes a new setup could be in place for 2013/14.

Forfar kept the pressure on Arbroath in the race for the final play-off spot in the Second Division with a 3-0 away win over Stranraer.
