Hopefully all clubs can attract 50+ through the gate (fans,friends and family) all chucking at least £3 in the pot - goes some way to help out. As mentioned above, it's time for youngsters to help out the clubs regards committee's etc - the old guys don't last forever.

As in the ones who have been here all along & not the cranial detachments that have turned up over the last couple of weeks.
Think they've come to realise that the courts didn't want to change the world to suit Hearts, maybe they'll get compensated with 'parachute' money, but at the end - go and win the Championship, enjoy celebrating for a change. Most decisions covid19 have been poor for football, let's just look forward (hopefully) to next season actually starting.

With the delays still ongoing, at least there won't be any reconstruction talk for season 20/21 - suppose IF Hearts win the Championship then it will all be forgotten ? Really don't know what clubs want,big or small divisions, more non league clubs muscling their way in, no relegation for 25 years, still no one's happy !

Interesting, always good to hear from the other side,so to speak. Always thought the racism was from the terraces, and in social life, rather than inside the clubs. When I played (1980's onwards) we were one of the first clubs to have black players (along with St.Pauls) some of the greatest people you could ever meet. Happy Days.

Shankland turned up in training with this apparently...
And what is wrong with this ? Give me 20 push ups etc and sweat it out big boy. Could be fun in the bedroom

Not sure of cost in Scotland, down here in Bristol the 3g pitches are around £75+ per game,plus the referee costs (they having linesmen in the dev lge ? ) Guessing the players will pay match fees ? Even if it was £100 a game, that still adds up.

Just out of interest, and coz I'm not sure of the dates : saw two games of cricket going on today, not sure of the set up, how players got changed etc but congratulations to Downend and Bradley Stoke cricket clubs - sure it was all above board !

Seems like some people are bigger than the law,we'll do what we want, we ain't doing nothing wrong, no worse than other gatherings etc. That makes it ok then, just what I thought. No one's dying, just play football and give us beer. Obviously a lack of schooling or upbringing in evidence.

Never been that far up into Scotland, what sort of league is the NCL, looked at places on the map - guessing it's villages with basic grounds etc. ? wonder how big the player pool is up there ?

Par for the course that a few teams will fold during the season, usually player shortage the cause. The Development LGE is a step up from a youth League where you can probably p-p games at late stages. Everyone should be ready to travel a bit further, not 3 or 4 hour drives regularly is it ? Hopefully the league stays strong and progresses.

Quite simple, the SFA or other body check on all clubs via their committee members- under cover etc. IF they find anyone training before the Government allow the return - threaten to take away their membership and get thrown out of the WOSFL. Should put the shits up some eh !

The idiots in the shops,pubs,on the beach, we'll do what we want and don't care about the risks - thought it was all stupid young uns but I've got my doubts. Start training a month before start date,bang in one or two friendlies and Bob's your uncle, so to speak. Some people won't listen, we want our freedom blah blah

Have a guess that hopefully all non league football may restart on the October 17 date, same as lower spfl. With a bit of luck games BCD will be problem free - the pub idiots will crawl back under their stones and stifle the virus, and the politicians give minor sport and grassroots a fair hearing. George Galloway ? Oh dear,how bad can things get.

Hi all,
First post please be nice lol.
Is there any official word from governing bodies in regards to qualification and cut off dates/times to apply for WOS development league?
Thanks

Wild guess but I'd say the first season with the West clubs is almost a trial, the kick offs will be 8pm like most of last season. Travelling an hour to a game isn't that bad,surely ? As mentioned the costs are a massive part of this, no idea if the fans will react in numbers - will that cover the cost of putting a game on ? Will the season start/finish ok, let's just enjoy it eh, hope I can get up to Scotland 3 or 4 times this season.

That's a cracking effort with the season tickets, the early bird offer makes common sense - so long as it's a good deal. Well done, guess you will/won't miss the Hearts games ?

That the same Daryl Duffy who played for Bristol Rovers years ago ? Hardworking player who never quite got enough games during his time with the Gas !

Don't think Scotland needs the B/Colts teams n the league set up - the promotion problem one of the reasons. People say part timers shouldn't be travelling miles midweek - others say the part timers should be allowed to compete with full time rivals. Believed that once you reach the spfl then you should probably go full time - it's a step up from juniors, senior non league etc. Thought that spfl 1& 2 should be regionalised to help clubs, only an idea.

Definitely needs to be an increase in midweek matches to get things ticking over, some of the cups don't need to be played and crowds of under 500 must be manageable,so long as fans co-operate with guidelines. That's my only fear, already seen the pub idiots coming out of hibernation and acting like clowns.,

Cracking ground, why no stewards behind the goal ? They look an unruly mob !

Read that people must stand with their mates at the game, can't they just do the right thing,so we can all enjoy the game coming back. It's gonna be hard for the clubs anyway, just hope everyone can behave - unlike the pub dickheads
If the players feel safe then we the fans should be ok. With the spfl trying to restart, will there be a winter break ?

Excellent work with the U20's set up, hope things are going well behind the scenes for all clubs involved. Hopefully a big kick off sometime in 2020,amazed how many West clubs have joined the race - great for the youngsters.Definite progression.

Interesting pyramid restart statement, honestly every sport, shop, pub etc is taking a gamble - can we reach almost zero cases,deaths where people will feel almost 100% safe. Even if Scotland doesn't get a Second Coming - the normal winter flu is waiting around the corner. I want football as much as anyone, but the government are in charge (whether right or wrong) Fingers crossed.

Always good to have a decent reliable website, especially when some clubs (youth especially) don't always have designated grounds to use, or are switched very late. Will be checking everywhere once the season starts, good work

What,a panel of sane,clever,well schooled,legal folk think Hearts are ludicrous ? Perish the thought,think the chuckle brothers will have to share the costs between them, good luck. Probably complain about that as well - take the arbitration panel to court I expect ,unless they play ball with Budgies mob.
