jc1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Well you have no option but join eosfl. The reality is Tweedmouth snd Eyemouth are the furthest out teams but take same amount of time to get there as nearly all your games. Potentially Camelons furthest travel in premier next season will be Dunbar at 1 hour 5 minsThat's something we as a club must look at and asses. But at the moment with half the season gone if it wasn't for local cup games we would be in a bad place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that is going to happen unless clubs leave like others did last year. With so many rumours ECT I'll be brutally honest and say I haven't a clue what's happening but agreed I personally and I know the club financially NEED the local games. Even if the East Juniors moved into the Pyramid next season, you'd still be in the Superleague playing the same teams. The only way you'll face more local games is a) relegation! b) join the EoS c) hope the EoS and the East Juniors merge. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 From a personal point of view I would like to know what set my club (Fauldhouse United) will be playing in sooner rather than later. Just out of curiousity, what set-up do you WANT Fauldhouse to be playing in next season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Just out of curiousity, what set-up do you WANT Fauldhouse to be playing in next season?From my own personal point of view and only my opinion I would prefer EoS down to the fact there's bigger games to attract players to which I believe is a great set up of a club and lost out on a few players due to our league set up. But that's just me speaking for myself now I've done half the season in our current set up 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If the juniors get in to the pyramid as described by Larry. The winners of the West should actually have to play the winners of the east.That would then provide 1 junior team alongside 1 eos and 1 sos for the play off.Clearly all its buts and maybes but I do feel if the juniors still exist as an association going forward they technically only deserve 1 play off spot for ll. I know you totally disagree with ersjfa in pyramid alongside eos Burnie,But if it did happen do you agree? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly sure what the question is, but any "solution" which keeps WL and Fife team seperated between two different league systems I would strongly disagree with. As JC alludes to, we need some locality back into the leagues. I don't mind some trips to the outer reaches for league games, but I also like local matches and rivalries. A mix of both - in the Pyramid - would be good, and is needed. Edited January 22, 2019 by Burnie_man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fauldhouse say the Super League travel has hindered the club then apply for EOSFL the others might realise what they are in and come too. Even if Ersjfa did get tier 6 what is the logic in you going to tayside every other week. As its a hell of a mountain to over come to maybe get to the lowland League 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Question is. If there is a west junior and a east junior sitting alongside eos and sos.Why would the juniors get 2 play off spots ? If they are still under sjfa then they should only get 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the crowds and travelling expenses with so many long distance away games surely we at least need to be looking into the possibility of moving to the eos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah OK, well yes if that is the question I would generally agree, but even more play-offs to add into the process. Three way WRJFA, EoS, SoS would be much easier with the ERJFA clubs slotting into the EoS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fauldhouse could get the other clubs to come and it would make it at worst the same as they are the now. Some will end up better. There is absolutely nothing to lose. West lothian definately need to come over. Fife could go either way but West lothian should be with us 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League set up for East juniors will be a shambles if that happens. Edit it would be even worse than that it would leave them with 27. Would be a definate blow and maybe the odd fife club would follow suit too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to be realistic where we are and where we came from. But maybe as I was 9 at the time of the Junior and league triumph i appreciate it more now. I was realistic enough to know those days weren't coming back in the Juniors. We are doing really well. Who knows where the journey will go. 95 we were getting a lot bigger crowds and just a lot of the older people are sadly no longer with us and times change. We are in the Senior Scottish next season aswell so for that reason and considering our budget i'd say this has been as big as 95. We can grow where as 95 we were always likely to go backwards 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
