Celtic and Hearts B Teams in Lowland League?
Kirk St Moritz replied to falski's topic in Lowland League
Your first paragraph describes the status quo between tier 4 and 5, which has been in place for 8 years without any serious challenge or any daylihgt. And i get your second point (although 3 clubs and not 2) but part of me thinks that the LL now needs to make the very most of having the 3 x biggest hitters in the land inside the tent and to use them to try and effect the greater good for all levels of pyramid. -
Celtic and Hearts B Teams in Lowland League?
Kirk St Moritz replied to falski's topic in Lowland League
Spot on. And the amount of folk buying it is odd, as he's trying to preserve the current difficult route from Tier 5 to 4. (Which incidentally is a harder route that 5 to 6, due to the fact that there is no automatic relegation from Tier 4 to 5) -
Celtic and Hearts B Teams in Lowland League?

As quite a few clubs / posters and fans have stated today, this is happening now, so best to try and make the best of it. For me, more interestingly now is how quickly this SFA Pyramid review gets started, and in what format. Even those vehemently against B Teams should be using this review as a chance to be heard and really try and force the SFA / SPFL to have a proper look at what the future pyramid looks like and how to improve it. I'd suggest some broad agreed principles like every champion is promoted in future etc. I also wonder, if (and its a big IF) such a review does indeed help open up the pyramid further for greater promotion from all Tiers, have the LL done the right thing by engaging B Teams for a short period to help deliver a greater good? Or not? -

How can this happen in a league full of so many "proper teams" and full of "integrity?" -

Shambles of a League. Who in their right mind would schedule a match for a night like tonight? Everyone saw this coming and it's now a shit show

To be fair, Rob Roy were only in the relegation zone because they had 4-5 games in hand of teams above them like Benburb, Glencairn and Benburb, and they also won 1-0 at Talbot, who still had plenty to play for at the time.

The LL League currently offer more promotion and relegation than the HL and the SPFL in the Pyramid, but I would also like to see it open up more. -

Ironically every team in the WOSFL could have applied to be a proper Tier 5 several years ago, but opted not to. They now want to run the show before even completing a full season in the Pyramid and before they have even balanced their own conferences, which seems premature. But for what it's worth, I think there should be greater promotion and relegation. -

No they never, it was the SFA that did this, you are spreading incorrect information. -
West Development U20 League / Teams
Kirk St Moritz replied to Bestsinceslicebread's topic in West of Scotland Football League
Notice the tweet from Pollok is now long gone, possibly embarrassed that someone was using it to shamefully try and sell Amateur players after disbanding their 20's team in March. My nephew plays for a West based Dev League side and apparently the Lowland Dev League will be taking a far tougher stance on all forms of standards next season, as there are toom many teams still acting like boys clubs. -

It was also suggested that they may use a small amount of the monies to improve the social media / website and general Comms, but don't know if this has transpired, although the social media looks better and website now appears to be getting updated quicker and with real time scores -

Nothing, yet, or according to the the conversation I heard in January. One guy said they had used some to pay club insurances, but this wasn't confirmed. -

I was told the same thing at Peffermill when the League Treasurer was within earshot. But that probably doesn't fit the fake news agenda of the poster who just claimed otherwise. -

As I understand it the money hadn't been paid a couple of weeks ago, not sure if that's changed. You appear to be in the know. Is this 100% true? -

Not sure what is "mystical" about the £50k. And the SFA not passing the rules was not declared by the SFA until after the season had started and apparently came as news to everyone. This was the doing and the fault of the SFA. However, the rules were passed, the boundary line is effectively still in place as L2 teams nominated as per status quo, Bonnyrigg have pissed the League and will go forward to play-off as champions, well deserved. -

That would indicate that the Rangers game was the biggest attendance of season. Although it did also appear that a higher than usual crowd came to your game against Cumbernauld Colts on a night that the Champion could be declared, which is natural also. So I reckon attendances have been up. -

Non B Teams related - has a venue and date been confirmed for the LL Cup Final? Hoping to get along if its a venue not too far away, ticks another Cup Final box from my list of competitions -

Yeah, the fixturing looks to have been an issue, but I can't agree there has been no increase in gates. What was the biggest home gate in the League at Bonnyrigg this season?- 901 replies

What was fictional about the proposal? And I understand the SFA refused to sign off on all rule changes until the LL agreed to the revised Pyramid Play off rules. The clubs still voted democratically -

Every club had their vote in a democratic manner. Had there not been a majority in favour, it would not have happened. The way it should be- 901 replies

"Convincing clubs" in what sense? As the Chair surely he was duty bound to pass the information to clubs to allow them to make their own decisions, which they did?- 901 replies

Exactly, if the League are approached, they are duty bound to inform the clubs and let them have their say, and make a decision if it gets that far.- 901 replies
