Brora Rangers are concerned they and Kelty Hearts will be omitted from restructuring plans.
League 2 clubs have seemingly agreed on a proposal of three leagues of 14 in the SPFL, which would leave no room for the addition of the Highland and Lowland League champions.
That agreement was made public over the weekend by Elgin City chairman Graham Tatters and his Stenhousemuir counterpart Iain McMenemy.
Manager Steven Mackay said today he wished a decision to be made as soon as possible, so the Cattachs would have clarity as to which league they would be in next season.
Club chairman William Powrie hopes any options can be put to a full members vote, rather than “premature factional blocks”.
Powrie said: “Whilst both clubs absolutely acknowledge that the seasons pyramid process could not be completed as planned, we both took great comfort that our position as respective winners of the Highland and Lowland Leagues would be discussed within the reconstruction task committee which is currently meeting.
“Without the natural conclusion of the playoffs any escalation into the next tier of the national game would we feel be through the principle of natural justice. Likewise that same natural justice which applies to the brief of the reconstruction group, that no club should be in a worse financial or sporting position due to the effects of the Covid -19 pandemic.
“We absolutely understand the concerns of the League 2 block, that they would not wish to see their share of the future financial cake be diminished, but again we take great comfort from reconstruction group co-chairperson Ann Budge that she feels these concerns can be allayed. The new Sky TV will no doubt be of great help in assisting the financial modelling.
“With any return to playing likely to be some way in the distance yet, the reconstruction group we are sure will be given the time to discuss fully the options that can be carried to a full members vote. This we feel is a far more equitable outcome than premature factional blocks with ‘force majeure’ propositions.
“Whilst Brora and Kelty are both very much on the outside of these deliberations, our exclusion from uplift we feel would not sit at all comfortably with the principles of the SFA progression from the feeder leagues and we have every confidence that the reconstruction group will pay due cognisance to this, as will the broader church of all SPFL clubs.
“Both clubs feel we have much to offer the national game and stand ready to make that progression should an invitation arise.”
