The last weekend of March and postponements likely for the card tomorrow. The argument is “but in October we were scheduled to finish in March”. Lunacy.

Again, I don’t hold Talbot accountable, but, surely with the most tinted Talbot spectacles you can agree that 3 is not enough, with over 10 games to go?

How many before this point?

Interesting that Talbot haven’t been accommodated with midweek games. Plenty of teams with floodlights. Seems like the fixture secretary is too scared to assign matches incase teams complain about gate receipts or the lack of them due to midweek games. Happy to take the licensing money and play in the Scottish Cup, but not fulfil league games (This is not specifically aimed at Talbot, but all teams who are licensed participants in the Scottish Cup). The tail certainly wags the dog. Maybe there is an argument to reduce the league sizes to ensure that teams do not go into the final months of the season needing 10 games plus played! Cup competitions that all member clubs are not a participant in should not have priority over the league and if you do, immediate schedule a midweek fixture. You cannot have your cake and eat it and many clubs are whilst Kennie is firmly in their pocket. Beith Auchinleck Talbot Darvel Hurlford Arthurlie Glenafton Shotts Ashfield Johnstone Burgh Cumbernauld United Forth Wanderers Threave Rovers Lesmahagow Dalry Thistle BSC Glasgow Newmains United Campbeltown Pupils All of the above have 10+ games to be played. In the space of 8 weekends. Five of those teams have access to floodlights. Whilst I recognise the lower you go, floodlights are less likely, but we have enough teams with floodlights to get these games played earlier in the season and/or up to these points. Every team should be going into the final 5 weeks on 25 games played. Surely in the interests of sporting integrity every team should be going into the final furlong with equal amount of matches left and it would certainly bring more punters through the gate due to the excitement and intrigue. I would rule out an extension to the season Division 1 downward, as it doesn’t suit the WoSFL committee’s vested interests.
