Is my understanding of this wrong - under Option W - only one Premiership club would leave for the Lowland League - IF the League winner was Licenced.
Under Option Z - eight clubs WILL leave the West Region (not necessarily from the Premiership) to make up the expanded Lowland League.
EDIT : Corrected the Option X to Z.

And in 20 years time you will be hauled up for an expression like this. See how it works.

“catch a tiger by the toe, Ernie meanie money mo’ no n word there.
A racist version might have went around before that but we’re taking 50 years you can’t honestly argue that someone at least in their late 50s would say a racist term without thinking cos they said it as part of a rhyme when they were 5. Anyone who uses such a term without thinking is a racist.
It was said in parliament, and it wasn’t acceptable there either.I'm talking about 50 years ago. Some older people use this forum. Everyone over 50 is racist. I have never heard anyone in the real world use the substitute word "tiger" - mainly because I never hear anyone using the rhyme now. I have only ever HEARD the one version. I'm not talking about people quoting things on a football forum.

Have you ever used the rhyme "Eenie, meanie, miney mo...….." as a method of selection when a kid.
If you were of a certain age the "N" word is used in that. It's no longer used but if someone asked me to recite, chances are the word would be out my mouth before thinking about it.
The have used the expression "N**** in the woodpile" as a whole, not four separate words to come under scrutiny. I'm sure someone said it in the House of Commons a few years back.

The only time we've ever flirted with danger was in the Premiershp's second season, 2003-04, when we narrowly beat the drop. Lesson learned, in the 16 succeeding campaigns we've never finished below fourth in the League, winning the title six times. When were these mythical number of times we've flirted with relegation?
There was a time I looked at their trophy haul and they had gone about 30 seasons and lifted at least one trophy every season. That was some time back - I'd guess the run is broken now. They had a chance at 3 Ayrshire cups for most of that spell and they did dominate the West of Scotland Cup for a while.

I'll need to check out the flavours the next time I'm in Morrisons.

I'll need to have a look back through my earlier posts - IIRC I have a pot noodle to eat if I lose my bet.
EDIT : Thanks very much, Rossvale. Looks like I'll be eating a pot noodle in a few months time thanks to you. They must have went on an Irvine Meadow type run.

There's one thing that puzzles me regarding attendances and that is - WHY?
Why do we care about attendances? Do any sport publish attendances in the same way football does? (Ok - some American sports might). But rugby, hockey, cricket, basketball - do any of them at club level care about attendances.

So do every other junior team own their park, don't think so
No - but they have priority over bookings. Cumnock probably do have priority as well.

Up at Beechwood today and they confirmed it was a ballpark figure of 550 to 600, and that Rossvale were over the moon with the takings as they'd never had anything like it before.
They should know how many paid to get in as there should be tickets issued being a cup game. Add on an approximate figure for committees.

Take it Clydebank having floodlights plays a part in this. Games can be fitted in without waiting on the light nights starting. Thus the games are done and dusted without waiting on others to play off.
You could still end up waiting. If one of the clubs you're waiting on gets their games postponed.
In 2016-17 Largs played Beith on the 15th April. They then had to wait over 8 weeks to play the final game against Auchinleck on the 12th June. On a Monday night when the result no longer mattered to either team. A financial hit for the club.

Thought there was a decent crowd at the game today n heard an auld boy say it's the busiest hed seen the club takeaway aw season.
A decent amount of neutrals with most of the games off means it's the second biggest gate for Theesel this season. Maybe about ten people behind the Pollok gate. As I've no breakdown of adults/OAPs it's hard to tell. Similarly I can't tell what the attendance is. Going by my formula of adding on maybe 40 for season ticket holders, 30 officials of both clubs and 40 or 50 kids let in for free and it's up about 440-450. Swanny did a headcount in the first half and he got 410. He's normally above what I get.

It might seem that way on face value. However, it's the responsibility of the home side to cover the match expenses. The 20% of the gross is expected to cover that.
I'd have thought the profit the home club makes from programmes, raffles, food and drink, hospitality and sponsorship would cover that.

Unless it's changed this season the home club take 20% of the gate money with the remaining 80% being split equally between the 2 clubs.
So 60% to the home club and 40% to the away club.
I'd say the Juniors are fairer with their 50/50 split after deducting referees expenses. And the SJFA don't deduct anything until the semi finals.

The calculation of gates should one would hope be relatively straightforward if clubs used and recorded numbered tickets and I have often wondered why most junior sides-including major teams-have not bothered keeping these or wanting to know how they were doing crowd wise.
Mainly because of the hassle and lack of bodies to help. I know at Largs they sell programmes and raffles at the same time as gate entry so they only use tickets when required for cup games where the gate money is shared.

Absolutely no chance were there only 200 at Largs v Meadow.
I think the figure would be closer to 200 than the 280 you suggested.
EDIT : This is based on how many paid to get in plus an approximate figure for season tickets as I know some weren't present. If you're adding on committees and kids let in for free (as suggested below) then it probably is creeping up towards your figure.

Good to see this initiative. One wee snag: the Saturday fixture page went so fast I could not read it all.
That's why there's a pause button on the video.

Aye, that's all very well - but give us back the club fixtures on the website.

I do miss the archive I admit. It makes programme info gathering a tad harder (ironically, from the most recent years).But all the Regions were already were on the old site ?
Only this season really (and maybe last season). Before the East Region took you to another site IIRC and the North one seemed incomplete when I looked ages ago. It did seem like the other two Regions were doing their own thing.

If you're wanting a laugh, copy the St. Anthony's avatar into an Excel document just to see the size of it. It's huge. That can't be good for a website having a huge image reduced in dimensions like that.
And while I'm here......bring back the club results.
EDIT : Avatars probably isn't the right name for them.....but you know what I mean.

Yes, it is newer looking, but it takes longer to find the information that you need.
So in that sense it is not a good upgrade yet.
I say "yet", as I expect it will be tweaked to improve it based on the helpful comments that are posted.
I prefer the look of this one however I prefer the details/navigation of the old one.
Being able to see all the results for a day in the one place.
I do like the four mini tables on the one page. Very handy when the West Cup comes around.
But not being able to see a clubs results for the season is not good. You'd have thought having the club name hyperlinked in the league table which leads to the results for the season would have been a good idea for them.
I see they've now removed the referee appointments as the links led to nothing. Was most annoyed when the SFA did away with them and replaced it with the abomination there now.

Junior football, what is the future?

The way the Options were worded, the Management Committee's preferred Option Z was highlighted as having the approval of the East Region, SPFL and LL.
They do not say if Option W had the approval of SPFL or LL. Obviously the East Region are against it.
The East Region are not on the same level anymore as the West Region. They have already lost all their top clubs to Senior Football. The way the West Region is going, it will also lose its top clubs.
