When you talk about clubs or supporters in the west indicating they do not want promotion to the Lowland League you should always have the caveat with the exception of Clydebank.

Rather not say who i dont think should be there but id like Higgins to stay provided he gets his finger out.
Not doing anything of note at Petershill. Six people have scored more goals for Peasy according to WoSFL stats page.

Have to agree, the timing of the new contracts was strange, our form last 10 games was dire.
I liked moff as a player and manager but wouldnt be that gutted if he left to be honest.
Not strange in the slightest. All these players could have sat it out and got offers from elsewhere for more some may be doing that now.
Where are you going to pick up replacements of comparable or higher standard for virtually a whole team.
Sacked for finishing fourth half a dozen points off the winners. Start that revolving door you end up like Kilwinning, Kilbirnie etc.
There are players, favourites whose roles have to diminish. Going by what they did over what they are actually doing is a nettle that needs to be grasped . There are two obvious holes that need to be filled. Don't you think the manager is not aware of this, it's a very competitive market.

Can Beith go up if they win the play offs or will they still be stopped due to the floodlights?
Beith can't enter the playoffs, no license.

Think 6 cups games for Clydebank in all comps. Talbot I think were the most on 16. For them to finish above you boys on points and goal difference when they played a quarter of their season in 2 weeks sums up the standard of Clydebank. I personally thought there would have been a full clear out and being honest the timing of the managers extension seemed strange, new contract then form down hill. For me this is a season bankies went backwards. Worse return in cup. No progression in the league position.
board took their eye off the ball big time and cost the club dear. Difficult season for the bankies coming up.
Imagine losing early in cups to those perennial losers Beith and Pollok plus a team who were top of the Highland League at the time.
Any idea who Craig Trusdale going to Gartcairn is yet ?

You also get a trophy and the honour of being champions? A fairly significant part of the reason everybody gets into the game.
Having an unlicensed winner and nobody being promoted out of the league is not ideal but there is no guarantee that even a licensed winner would be promoted(as we seen with Darvel). The simple solution is to go out and build a team good enough to actually win the league and give yourselves the chance of moving up. It's nobody else's fault that you weren't able to do that this season other than yourselves.
Same could be said for Talbot, Darvel, Pollok and Cumnock.

You have a different fixtures secretary for SPFL, LL and WoS, the issue is not cross leagues as Kennie is responsible for all the WoS fixtures the software can no produce fixture accomadating ground share cross organisation when those fixtures are responsibility of others.
You mean like the SPFL doing their fixtures before the Lowland League do theirs, probably by inputting block dates for Dumbartons home games so Broomhill don’t overlap.

Groundshares at our level happen cross organisations how do you factor that into software?
You get software that factors in the venue
using google came up with this

Seems any league at any level could cope with this comparatively cheaply

1 - The fixture secretary should be able to cast home Saturday fixture to any team without issue and without needing to adjust any other fixture.
2 - For financial fair playing field (quite literally), look at the better grounds in the league, Beechwood, Medda Park, Newfieldlands, if these teams didn't have the upkeep of the grounds and facilities how much more could they spend on the playing staff etc...the 3 mentioned are personally my favourite grounds to go to they have character, good playing surfaces and good transport links etc...
3 - As someone that jumps between different teams soulless grounds or teams not actually playing in their actual area is to the detriment of the clubs and overall match experience.
4 - A simple, why would you not want your own ground.
5 - When there is a ground sharing arrangement, how long does this need to be in place for contractually. Take St Cadocs for an example, can Banburb turn round and say at any time that they can no longer use it. If so what happens, where do they play etc...I know as per constitution all teams need to make their ground available to others however surely the league can't be expected to find a team an alternative venue every home game? That point in the constitution I am assuming is for emergencies i.e. pitch becomes unplayable and cup tie needs played.
I think the opposite argument is a better one, there is no doubt Clydebank have visions above where they are at at the moment, if you ask their fans would they want their own ground I don't think you'd find any fan that would say no I want to be in 3 way ground arrangement or what ever the set up is.
Cumbernauld United, unless the financial benefit is worth it (no idea what KRR pay etc...) with their surface being a grass pitch is it at the determent of Cumbernauld United to have them as tenants? Again unsure if the money generated from KRR is then needed to fund Cumbernauld United, I have no idea on this. If it wasn't money related if I was a Cumbernauld United fan I would be looking for the club to end agreement.
1 Fixture guys across the planet seem to manage.
2 Financial fair play isn't a thing.
3 Football isn't all about you and your feelings.
4 Considerable benefits of ground share to the community and financially, Holm Park excellent example
5 is that even a thing or something you are making up or distorting.
6 Clydebank have after many years a permanent home, get over it.
7 KRR does anyone know what is happening

can I ask, why the big kerfuffle about ground sharing? Personally never seen it as much of an issue but would be interested to get your reasons on your thoughts?
He hates Clydebank and they ground share. Oh and Darvel once upon a time had a free week due to a ground share which is why their fixtures are totally fecked not that they play in a swamp or fixture guy could have done better.

Could not have said it any better.
Still no happy? but I keep forgetting that he is a physio, a pitch specialist, a football agent, a contract lawyer, and knows everything about everything.
Not a Darvel fan but knows how they think the pitch was constructed and “knows” Syme is on the move. I hope that’s not true. But if it their reliable source that they use to get in the know for all of the above, then I’ll pass.
the under 20s comment is a low blow. Presuming it was to big them up. I’m sure that’s the only reason for saying as they were outstanding last night.You missed expert on all things Clydebank and an oracle

The Highland League Clubs all expressed a problem with this newly brought in requirement as it is obviously more difficult to get a doctor to attend matches in rural areas.

Being cynical, promotion to Lowland league would mean certain clubs having to give up their SJFA membership. Would someone who had a top position in SJFA and WoSFL want to expand the way for clubs to be promoted or penalise unlicenced clubs who help keep them there.

Talbot apparently had a big game Friday no doubt attended by SJFA officials. Any of their supporters on here get round to asking one of their committee why they are nominating this guy ?

So what things is Alex going to try to make things better ?
His plan for a central league was ran by a 100 junior clubs so not everyone might be aware.

Wasn't 16 something imposed by SFA for all leagues feeding into Highland and Lowland league.
Given the extension given to Division 1, increasing numbers in leagues would make it more problematic even lower down.

So possibly a prospective League Chairman sending letter to his SJFA colleagues or boss even to not prioritise their big money maker.
