Bankies obviously cared enough about football to join/rejoin the "Juniors".
Bankies obviously cared enough that one of them became a VP or something.
How many teams have folded in the "Juniors" since 2003 when the Bankies joined/rejoined?
The Scottish Junior Cup is down to numbers not seen since the depths of the Second World War. Next season, without the "Seniors", it will be down to numbers not seen since the 1890s.
Clubs, regardless of support, have to do what is right for them and their futures. If the Bankies saw the writing on the wall then they had an obligation to do what is right for them.
For the record I don't think Yoker Athletic are Juniors. They are a football team, that mostly played in "Junior Leagues". Now they will play in "Senior Leagues". They are still Yoker Athletic. (Remember they were Juveniles and Intermediates too for spells)
Maybe they care about Scottish football and not petty, parochial, self interested "gradeism". Maybe they just cared about themselves. We all have to look after ourselves.
Junior officials are to football what CAMRA was to the beer world. They think they are everything to everybody but in reality all they have done is tried to turn back time to a dim and distant past "when things were better".
If the Bankies have made the wrong decision then so has every other team in the defunct West Region?
I doubt it will be smooth sailing for our ground share partners but at least they had the gumption to stand up and be counted. And if it fails then who really cares - it is only football. It has always been only football. And if a serpentine snake pairs us in Conference then that will be just dandy.
Anyway this Ronney character seems to be claiming credit for everything "good" and not accepting any responsibilities for anything "bad", for the many failures that got us all to this point in time when clubs felt they had to do something because the blazers were sitting on their hands and not listening.
Progress is about protecting the future. It is not about forgetting the past.
And if moving to a successful, thriving League is the answer then I am glad we have all made it.
Never mind what's it to him...
