Using the west/central area as an example, to me it makes no sense to have so many different leagues covering the same area. The best 2 leagues are widely considered to be the Central and Caley and they cover a similar area. Some towns even have a split with nearby teams in different league set-ups (Stirling with Milton in Caley and Bannockburn in Central springs to mind). SAFL, GGPL and SDAFA also cover large parts of the same region too. On a Saturday morning 3 leagues (SSMFL, GDSML and Glasgow Colleges FA) cover the same area (4 when the Churches league is included). The league committees all do a great job in running their own individual leagues but I feel it would be a good time to at least consider pulling resources together, look at merging leagues and try to reshape the amateur set-up to stop it dwindling away even further. It might not stop teams folding altogether but a larger set-up could absorb these losses better, would be more competitive as teams would find their level within the divisions and would be stronger financially rather than various leagues running 1/2 divisions and competing for new teams etc.
