Will definitely grab a Friday night game when I'm up in October, enjoy watching youth games - don't need the ridiculous scores though, doesn't help anyone. If you can attract 50+ then it's worthwhile going along. Are the majority played on the 1st team grounds ?

Sounds like someone is putting his name forward for the website job ! Probably a modern day fan who wants everything done yesterday, but doesn't actually help at all. Think the fixtures , k.o times are important, results sometime in the evening (on a Sat) We can usually get stuff from each clubs website IF we are impatient.

It may sound like ive got too much on my plate but its a manageable workload just didnt count on being laid low for so long so like i said playin catchup, plus we wont be weds sat weds sat so more time during the week to get things done
Good luck with the website and getting over covid, yet again the job's down to one man and people just grumble ! Sure all the various leagues website folk can communicate with each other, to iron out any problems. We can get most news from other places until you're up and running 100%

Can't blame clubs for asking more - as said on here, trying to recoup £ for ground improvements etc. Going Senior, it's great to pay just £7-8 imo, hasn't really increased much over the years. Would be happy to pay between £6- £10 for any division in the WOSFL, around the going rate. Better than £30+ for some Elite Lge shite.

Hopefully before long,the HL will become a division of ambitious clubs, all with half decent support, and with grounds that fit the bill. Sounds like some clubs are trying to improve, good luck to them. Seems amazing that some clubs wouldn't want to be promoted, after winning a league, though we had it for years around Bristol - win the County League, but promotion could mean trips to Oxford etc (150 ml round trips) which the players didn't want.Difficult.

We've had the PPG and whether leagues could actually be completed, I can see the B team/tables/promotion saga being discussed throughout the season.Best non B team put forward ? Imagine both Colts being 20 points ahead of the 3rd team, is the next best non B team an actual ruling ? Try to keep up with things, sometimes beyond me !

Oh dear, think there could be the odd problems during the season, just a gathering of the clans (clowns) I guess. Good news for the national flag salesman at least. No great sheikh's eh , bit like the Tooting Popular Front (showing my age)

Maybe should be done across ALL leagues to cover possible covid problems ahead. Suppose some people will say 'why punish the clubs' Many leagues give 20 or 30 victories for their opponents, let's follow suit.

Plenty of goals then, just start of the season or missing players ? Glad there's been no trouble among fans so far - just be glad to be watching and enjoying a pint. Can only imagine Lugar have problems with that score, good luck to them for the long season ahead !

Good effort to try and clear 'held over' cup finals, something to play for and interest for the fans. Sure the players would rather be playing instead of training anytime, hopefully this season's cup goes the distance, covid permitting. Always good to get silverware in the cabinet

Some good crowds there, most clubs will even out to a usual number - increases for reasons already given. Expect there are quite a few hoppers who boost a particular game each week, can't wait to return North. Anything 100+ creates atmosphere and income, brilliant stuff.

Humble apologies for being sensible ! Usually just need travel directions, trains etc, how to get to the grounds - photos of grounds helpful, better when I don't know what to expect ! Sure someone could compile a book using modern tech skills to cover non league Scotland.

Good work so far, well done everyone. Always thought the att was paying fans - doesn't this have to tally with gate income etc ? Can understand if it's just bucket collection around the ground, just a headcount enough there. Some decent crowds so far this season already.

could well affect the bounce of the ball, someone get the mower out asap ! Sure a voluntary group could work wonders - if one can be found (or prisoners on day release ! )

Hopefully the site will improve fairly soon, the EOS is a good one, guess it has been going a bit longer than the WOSFL. Maybe the EOS chap could pick up the phone and offer his services, I'm useless on modern tech so can't offer anything

Couldn't see how they were going to upgrade when I went to watch a game on the 3g cage next door, excellent work, are there any seats installed at all ? Wasn't there another pitch next to the main one,or is my memory playing tricks (again)

Best thing I've seen is to send the Colts to play in Ireland, where their bigotry etc would be gladly accepted by those over the river. Can only hope the colts get stuffed every week and the champions of the LL and HL get a chance of going up, as per integrity of the game etc.

Good to get things up and running then, apart from the Talbot, what sort of crowds did the other games get yesterday ? Hopefully the fans turned up in numbers, if allowed of course. Went over to Caerleon v Caldicot in the FAW Trophy, 00, 23 on pens, att around 50. Look to have two good weeks up in Scotland Oct/Nov.

Slightly off the mark here but is it possible for a club to go from say the old Juniors, up to the spfl prem - groundsharing all the way ? Need a bigger ground, go somewhere else etc.Only a thought,regarding the nomad clubs.

Scottish F.A Trophy ? Always thought that if someone had a decent job say £250+ a week and then got paid £50-100 for playing, he was just a footballer who hadn't turned professional. I loved watching the juniors and just see every club in the same light, now they've gone Senior.

Think that IF the clubs had stayed as Juniors, then there would have been NO improvements to grounds etc as promotion was limited if not almost impossible from that level. Fully expect any clubs that didn't/couldn't run with the flock - could have gone amateur ? albeit a weaker level.

Biggest question for me is, with the pyramid now in place (albeit dodgy foundations) are there enough players to go around these clubs ? Add to this, the possible expense on ground upgrades down the line, guess that only the ambitious and financially sound clubs would climb the ladder.

Add a couple of pints, fall asleep in the sea air, miss the train back, sure I still enjoyed myself !

Guess the only way is calling the spfl professional, then downwards it's senior, semi pro, then call it Junior. Amateurs or whatever you like. No way the Juniors as they were, are coming back. Think the clubs have invested too much £ to go backwards now.
