There's more of a chance of Morton getting up to the Premiership before St Mirren. Morton seem to be the top Renfrewshire senior club now.
St Mirren must have thought by going down the experience route would help them to get promoted in the long run even if it meant them waiting until the cycle of 2 big traditional big top flight teams competing in the championship to come to an end to get a chance of promotion back up again.
It's a hard league for any team that gets relegated to bounce back from.
More often than not it does take a club several seasons to get back to the Premiership again. We could very well be not seeing both Hibs and Dundee United both getting promoted at the end of the season.
Some of the teams already in the championship are no worse than the team been relegated from the Premiership. The top 4 from the championship are almost as good as or even as as good as the bottom 4 from the Premiership every season.
Going down the divisions I'm surprised that Edinburgh City have only picked up a single point so far yet in most of their matches it's been tight. Some of the teams at the top half of that table have beaten Edinburgh City this season have beaten other in the bottom half of the table teams by a bigger margin than they have against them. Yet Edinburgh City just can't seem to be able score twice to cancel out the loss of a single goal against their fellow opponents at the bottom half of the table.
