    Some might. Some might not.

    At this point most of those managers will have been around their players long enough to have a sense what the preferences are within their squad.

    And therefore unless all 17 are of the view they can convince their players to play for nothing this is a pointless exercise to present as a collective view to pressure whoever needs pressuring. I would imagine sponsors will be reticent to sponsor clubs for things like ad boards when no one might see them, programme ads etc... lots of lost income beyond that on matchday. I just don't see how it adds up.

    From day one when reconstruction was talked about it was as clear as mud that it was a us and them situation and nothing has changed . 

    The SJFA was on non-professional board, as was EoS and SoS before the WoSL was created. Been that way for a few years now.

    Who else had them? I had a glance through the teams and Rovers were the only team who had players named as trialists.

    Possibiy my mistake as I am still working through the lines and I thought I saw them in more than one game last night. It must have been the Rovers line up. I was only half paying attention.

    The player registration forms used are either professional or amateur. There is no distinction made between full-time and part-time status in that context. That's a separate issue related to the terms of the contract signed.

    The SFA deem tier 5 and upwards to be professional, tier 6 and below non professional.

    They may on this occasion (due to workplace mingling risks) limit it to those whose full-time job is football? That would make more sense than to say the amateurs of Edinburgh University or Civil Service Strollers are more entitled to play than the renumerated players of Linlithgow Rose.

    Question can be turned around why does it  seem the WOS clubs seem to be more scared of starting the season than the EOS/SOS/Lowland league teams?

    Starting without any promise (or likelihood) of additional funds seems reckless to me.

    Fans are not returning any time soon - Jason Leitch has not even talked about the lower SPFL sides getting their crowds back, let alone us.

    Don't see how, I think the three teams I named are probably reflective of the majority of clubs in EOS/SOS and Lowland league.

    (pretty sure reflective isn't the word I'm looking for but it ps late and i can't be bothered changing it)

    And what of the clubs that are not ran along amateur lines? Just f*ck 'em?

    Here in England, the authorities have decided that "elite" clubs have to play behind closed doors, but "non-elite" clubs can let the fans in. This led to a bizarre situation locally at the weekend, where the non-elite Corinthian Casuals were at home to Dulwich Hamlet, who (bizarrely) are classed as elite.  600 crowd, but visiting supporters banned!

    yet the traffic light system leaked today suggests a ban incoming on non professional sport.
