Tayside clubs were meant to merge with the North when reconstruction happened in the early 00's although for one reason or another it never happened & Tayside merged with Fife & Lothian districts. Can't possibly tell you what the reasons were as I was fairly young at the time It was suggested Tayside merge with the North no discussion ever took place mainly because the North made it clear they were not interested and it's still that way today

Alan, I hope you go back to whoever is giving you duff information regarding the ERJFA not being in at Tier 6 and let him know he's made a cnut of you .........100% both the ERJFA & WRJFA are in the pryamid at Tier 6 for season 2019-20

JC, you are entitled to your opinion I do not have an issue with that. Fauldhouse have to do what they think is best for them.

Alan, If and that's a very big if, I would be more than happy to apologise to my good friend McGinty if I am wrong. Hopefully he will do likewise

I've never said that set up would improve football thats for others to decide that

My post has nothing to do witj JC's opinion on where his club should be playing it's football that 's for them to decide. What I will say is no club in the ERJFA has spent more money on travel than my club over the years. Times have changed and I understand where he is coming from. As for discrediting my posts you print your crap, unfortunately folk believe you but as I keep saying time will tell who is telling the truth.

Burnie, lets see who is laughing when it all comes out. I'm happy to stand by what I have consistently stated the ERJFA & WRJFA are in tier 6 from season 2019-20

Gogsy, I am only telling you what I have read in the minutes sent to me. They are consistent with the email Ian Maxwell issued in October which Burnieman claims is fiction. Time will tell

They have all agreed, including the EoS ....... Ask your club to obtain the minutes and you post them if I am wrong.

Al, the North Juniors are not interested in joining the pryamid. I have pointed out many times that the ERJFA & WRJFA are joing the pryamid from season 2019-20 and I confirm that again. I have read the minutes from the PWG meetings of the 14/11/18 & 09/01/19 they make very interesting reading. It is obvious the reps from EoS are being difficult but they were put in their place and told the decision had been made back in October and the Juniors are in at tier6. I think what they are feeding back to Burnieman and their members is a different story and the clubs in EoS should ask for copies of those meetings. I am not stirring the pot, as I have said many times, I stand by what I have posted. Time will tell who is right, I am informed a statement is on it's way. By the way I am not posting the minutes but I have shown them to an EoS member club knows I am telling the truth.

Are you forgetting Carmuirs Park ? For many many years there have been postponements because of flooding and frost down the dressing side of the ground.

I also hope that contract extensions you announced recently are on Minimum wage and paying tax and insurance. I said if we were licenced. At this stage we do not have money for floodlights, that may change you never know. Our short term and long term goals is to keep the club alive and competitive. We are not dreamers at Lochee we run our club well and live within our means. Our contract extensions are probably similar to your club and many others and you should worry yourself about it.

Those clubs that have applied are not members as yet. Only when the licence is approved do you become a member. Playing in the EoS or SoS does not give you Senior status. Everthing will come down to the SFA board either approving derogation for those clubs or not approving.

From what we have been told , the club who wins the league will enter a four way play off ERJFA, WRJFA, EoS and SoS with the winner progressing to the LL. If the winner is Lochee ( require a licence to play in this ) I would expect to be playing in the LL otherwise why would we participate in the play off.

Does it really matter who has lights or who does not ? I would say the clubs in Tayside who have lights will probably need to upgrade to the rquired standard.

The deal is done. When you find out the truth I'll accept your apology.

You are not being told the truth by your association. EoS cannot stop what has been agreed. There are other members who voted in favour of the Juniors coming in and by the way EoS agreed to this. Ask them to be honest and tell your clubs the truth. I have never said I am not interested in licencing all I have said is we do not have the funds to put in floodlights. Unlike Blackburn we are not a community club and getting funding when you are a stand alone club is much more difficult. We live by our means not outwith By the way did you receive funding for the blackout of the fencing ?

Burnie, it's done and dusted. As for how many ERJFA Super league clubs with floodlights all I can say is I do not know and not really interested. We don't have them at Lochee and do not have £60-80 thousand to put them in. We have no prentions about where we want to be.

Any answer? I'm sure everyone would like to know what the plan is. No plan for the Juniors playing in the competitions you mentioned apart from the Junior Cup. What I am told is we continue with our own competitions and the WRJFA, ERJFA, SoS, EoS league winners play off for the right to enter the LL. Now this is where it gets messy....Licences

Agreed 100%

Its a new email and I know it has been circulated within EoS clubs

Burnie, I am happy with the advice we have been given by the ERJFA & SJFA that the Juniors are part of the pryamid from 2019-20 season. We have also been informed as to the change in the disciplne system from next season where we come under the SFA disciplne code although it will be governed by the SJFA.

I thought I just posted bile and spin. Make up yer mind. You do on many occasions but I agree with the statement you made

Agree. As I said their comms are exceptionally poor, as is their understanding of non-league football, and plenty of politics are at play. Burnie, self preservation is what it is all about. You should look closer to home on what is being fed back to you. I'm sure you will have read Mr Maxwell's recent email

The SFA's whole handling of PWG and Licencing has been poor, their communication is very poor. Self-protectionism is rife throughout the game. The Loonball finds himself agreeing with you.
