With so many Glasgow area teams it might stop some of the more extreme examples but would split quite close teams.
The sensible solution might be to create non-geographical conferences but, as the new applicants don't fit into the ABBA system, put Threave into the other conference once Campbeltown have been placed.

The WoS New Clubs thread has a post listing just Threave from the SoS applying to join the WoS. It also has a post stating that the WoS might choose to go to a max 80 clubs. Should they be correct then it puts the WoS in the position of taking in a club from another Tier 6 League in preference to a club from within the area currently covered by the WoS. Any space taken by Threave would prevent a "local" club from access to the WoS.
Threave in the WoS sends out all of the wrong signals to the pyramid as a whole. Unless Tier 6 is altered by agreement via the PWG. Why should the SoS agree to anything of the sort?
Not saying either SoS or WoS is right or wrong here. Just stating the facts as I see them at present and FWIW.
Threave's application to the WoSFL is confirmed.
As they are more than likely to be accepted, do they realise they'll be either in an expanded two-conference Div3 at Tier 9 or Div4 at Tier 10? (Rather than alongside old rivals Bonnyton at Tier7!)
When the penny drops, might their application be withdrawn?

All into the Third Division with the current 17/18 clubs (format TBC - conferences or north/south split?) or a 15 team Fourth Division?
The teams that will be involved will be consulted about their preference for hierarchical Divs 3 & 4 or 2 parallel Div3 "conferences" selected primarily by ABBA.
I suspect that a geographical split might also be considered, otherwise Threave v Campbeltown is a possibility!

It cannot be long before there's some news on the clubs which have been licenced this time around. Isn't it sometime this month that there's an SFA meeting to make decisions?
25th May AFAIK

I believe that the management committee will recommend to the AGM that all 8 existing associate member clubs AND all 7 applicants listed above should be accepted into full WoSFL membership for next season.

Thorn Athletic
Threave Rovers

Possible rule changes.....
Clubs promoted to the Premier have five years in which to get Licenced, if not they are relegated.

The list in the post by @theesel1994 2 weeks ago (see above) has been confirmed as correct

When are the teams who have applied likely to find out if they'll get in?
Seems it's likely they'll all be accepted (subject to ratification at the AGM, presumably).
If Doorbell win the playoffs and go up to the LL that'll give the WoSFL their target complement of 80 clubs. Just needs to be decided then what to do about Divisions 3 & 4 next season ...

Darvel do the thing & win their biggest honour to date by far while Pollok secure the illustrious best team outside Ayrshire trophy
. Rob Roy continue their wonderful recent form. Cumbernauld bid adieu.
I like that, I really do!
After topping the table for so long this season, something a bit more prestigious next time round hopefully, though!

I stole below from another forum but I thought it was well worded and explains what's
happening with structure next year as I for one was getting confused by what the feck is going on with it all
The champions of the WoSFL, EoSFL & SoSFL (if licensed, which they all will be) play a mini-league & the winner is promoted to the LL.
The only team due to be relegated from the LL is Vale of Leithen, who will go to the EoSFL.
If the WoSFL champions are promoted, 6 teams will be relegated from the WoSFL Premier division to the new Div 1 and the 3 conference champions (Arthurlie, Cambuslang & Petershill) promoted, so that next season's Premier Division will be reduced to 16 clubs.
If the WoSFL champions do not win the promotion mini-league, 7 clubs will need to be relegated from the Premier Division to reduce it to 16 for next season.
Below that, the relegated clubs and the remaining teams in the Conferences will be split into Divisions 1 (16 clubs), 2 (16 clubs) and 3 (the rest) based on the final league positions in the Conferences.
What will happen to the 8 clubs currently in WoSFL Division 4 has not yet been decided.It's nice to be quoted but it'd have been even nicer to have been credited!!!
Especially as I'm a regular poster on here as well as a moderator on the Pollok "another" Fans' Forum.

You are correct that no timeline was set. Various issues with the SJFA had to be overcome first. Specifically, the SJFA wanted to run a tier 5 league and that was opposed by the Highlands and Lowlands.
SJFA = Tom "Vladimir" Johnstone
opposed by = Highlands, Lowlands and most of the clubs then members of SJFA

Is there a deadline for the current Div 4 teams to submit their application to the "real" leagues?
As far as I know, it was about 12 months ago!
By applying for Div4 and being accepted, they have 2 seasons to upgrade facilities etc where necessary, at a suitable ground.
If they fulfill the criteria they can be accepted as full WoSFL members for next season or the one after.
I don't imagine any further "application" will be necessary. No doubt there is ongoing communication between the 8 clubs and WoSFL management regarding progress and votes on acceptance or not of those who are ready should take place at the AGM.
If I've got any of that wrong, I'm sure someone will step in and correct me.

West tie against Kello and Clydebank will be after the 7th May so could possibly request to have that midweek.The Licensing Committee Meeting is on 11th May. Under the licensing clauses, Pollok will have to have played a match under the lights to the satisfaction of a referee, unless they are given some derogation in that respect.
5 minutes ago, BANKIEBILL said:So if we beat Kello and refuse to play the next round midweek then 'Lok may not be awarded their licence ?? ... Rats !!!
The lights can be validated for licensing purposes without the need to play a match with them in use.

Apparently the draws for the QFs and SFs have taken place.
In the QFs it's
Pollok v Kello/Clydebank
In the SF the winner of that QF will be away to St Roch's/Hurlford/Arthurlie
Don't have the rest of the draw yet, sorry.

Floodlight pylons are up at Pollok, midweek game scheduled home to Clydebank on the 20th April - have to assume that'll be the first floodlit game.

The floodlights are not expected to be operational in time for the Lok v Bankies game, so k.o. time is confirmed as 6.30pm

The Pollok club page on the WoSFL website currently gives the Lok v Bankies k.o. time as 6.30pm, as it has for several weeks.
Pollok's own website says it's 7.00pm.
Looks as if the left hand, right hand and both feet aren't talking to each other!

what about royal albert won 1 drew 4 -- 5 points, did they have a points deduction?
If that was wrong it's now corrected too.
Seems like there's an error in the WoSFL's algorithm though - unless it's all just being calculated on the back of an old Scott Robertson fag packet ??

When are the lowland league calling their special general meeting to keep Vale in the league?
Joking aside the charlatans could probably actually do that.
One thing for sure they would vote in favour.
It's a long shot but, if Cowdenbeath win their last 3 games and Elgin lose theirs, with a 9 goal plus swing in GD, Elgin would finish bottom of Div2. If Elgin then lose the playoffs to Bonnyrigg, that would leave the LL a team down and they could reprieve VoL! (or dump VoL & let the Jammies buy their way in!)
Of course, one more point for Elgin or a draw/defeat for Cowdenbeath and that scenario is dead, fortunately.

What a pity the WoSFL website can't get the Div 4 table right & despite Campbeltown's 6 wins & 5 draws only gives them 16 points instead of 23 and shows them bottom!
I see someone has noticed the error and it's now corrected.
