committeemember Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Why is there a difference with the mentality of the West coast being better than the East. Better players. not always the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Because all the reporters are based in the West, and rarely venture out of that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Matt Le Tiss Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I think the west definitely stronger, more players play the game west coast. Also no real lowland teams in west either who seem to take a lot of East coast junior standard players meaning the lower grade of east coast junior is really amateur standard which has a knock on diluting the overall amateur standard.

Is the correct answer! THere are really an awful lot of semi pro teams at junior, lowland and EOS level that hoover up the sort of players that are playing amateur in the west. THe central scotland area, ie Shotts, livingston bathgate, falkirk, stirling, etc, has a few junior sides, but in not nearly the same concentration as the east so, in these areas amateur sides are stronger as they are not competing with as many semi pro teams. Simply as that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie n beans Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The west has always been stronger going from amateur to junior, you just need to look at the winners of the Scottish cups over the yrs, the East did dominate for a good few yrs in the juniors with Bathgate Linlithgow etc in the early 2000s but not a lot of East amateur teams.
