It’s a classic case of boxing themselves into a corner believing everyone would be behind them.
once the cracks appear in the support and they find out they are still in the corner the only way out is to plead.
Going to the EoS/LL to negotiate after they’ve laid out a plan is a waste of time and the only benefit is a bit of PR, “big boys did it and ran away with our clubs”
this has been on the wall for months, some clubs could see it coming, most hoped they were being represented but no news wasn’t good news, especially when your new potential partners (EoS/LL) didn’t have a clue what was going on.
The Negotiators for the SJFA haven’t done what was asked of them, they’ve failed in their promise and not delivered the mandate in any form.
While I’m pleased clubs will be entering the pyramid it’s still a sad time for what looks like the ending days for the SJFA.
unfortunately it looks like the Buffs, Clydebank, Darvel etc will carry the burden of the breakup, we only carried out what we voted for and had been working towards for the past 2 years
