drs Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 East Region almost at the stage of calling the undertaker? Bo'ness go for a fan consultation - Over the last several weeks club officials have met with representatives from both the SJFA and East of Scotland in order to gather information to bring to our club members regarding options available to ensure the prosperous future of Bo'ness United Football Club. We feel we are now in a position to bring this information to our club members and ask all members to attend a meeting on Monday 21st May at 6.30pm in the Sponsors Lounge at the Kinneil School End of Newtown Park.. No doubt influenced by those forum infiltrators and those doing down the "grade" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 4 hours ago, Burnie_man said: It was made very clear in meetings and AGM's at the time that the SJFA would only become involved if it remained entirely intact, with it's own structure, its own cups and it's own rules. Quite a ridiculous position to take of course towards an integrated Pyramid, and one calculated to lead to nothing. However the vast majority of clubs at the time appeared happy with that stance and to the best of my knowledge it's not changed. The added threat of "if clubs leave and are relegated from the LL and want to come back, they start at the bottom" also concentrated many minds on the "grade". But surely that wouldn't have happened, junior clubs being streets ahead of mediocre EOSL sides and jumped up boys clubs with no ground. Or fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 That’ll put the cat amongst the pigeons at Linlithgow. If it’s confirmed tier 6 for East Juniors is a definite no go could there be a rush for the door? Interesting to see that the EoS would do if they get more than 32 teams trying to be in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised if they get more than 32 in all honesty. Having said that, given all of the extra applications would have been put in late they could easily cherrypick the “top” ones and offer the rest deferred entry. Wonder if Dundonald might step up their deferred entry to next season now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Dundonald may have done themselves up like a kipper. So if Bo'ness and AN Other (Dunbar?) also go what does that mean for whats left of the East Region next season? Will the Wee Rose now have to take emergency action? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now they're stuck on the sidelines having to watch it all go down, not knowing what their real options are. Actually I can think of at least 3 teams who might like the Tayside junior league that might well be left behind. The east region fixture secretary resides in Dundee so everyone's a winner [emoji32] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the recent stuff from them about being pro-pyramid and having SPFL aspirations was probably genuine, so I suspect they won't be too far behind if Bo'ness do decide to make the move and the implications of the PWG meeting really are as reported on here. The east superleague should have entered the pyramid collectively at tier 6 and regardless of what some people post on here it wasn't completely ridiculous for people to expect that it could still happen, but if it's not going to be allowed to unfold that way by the SFA there's no point fiddling while Rome burns and allowing your club to be the next fallen giant like Whitburn. The ability to try to engineer a collective approach still exists in the west, but it simply isn't there any more in the east. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The collective approach died in the East when the League Champions left and didn't spontaneously combust as predicted by the SJFA. This is reaping what you have sown - the SJFA in their cupidity have shot themselves in the foot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld duffer Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Not my Twitter account. Having spoke to several committee at Glenrothes On Saturday, the club have no plans on applying to the EoS league. None. Not sure that is exactly true Ali but if it was I’d be very disappointed being a Dunbar supporter myself. Every other team in the county will be senior and we are left behind losing out on the derbies is not good for Dunbar it’s time to move on with our neighbours imho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think like many they have finally bowed to pressure and actually realised they need to engage with fans. The announcement that so many clubs were going was a wake up call even the pro junior aspect of committee can't ignore. Like I said though BU should have been at forefront not scrambling about in desperation. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
