Regardless of whether you think the conference system is a good idea or not, I don't think anyone is under any illusions that Braehead have a far easier schedule. Because of this, IMO, to win our conference is a massive achievement and actually a lot harder to win than the league title.
In a league of 5 where 4 are the country's top teams means it is much harder to win than a league of 10 when 4 out of the 5 you add are complete also rans making up numbers.
