Previous clubs mentioned in my previous post are all still interested in joining from the South. We will also be aiming to sort our license for 21/22 season. Shouldn't you be focused on being 2.0 at half time to us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens, some Junior Association heads will fall, I predict. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 If that happens, some Junior Association heads will fall, I predict. Thats fair do’s but regardless if clubs miss the deadline then so be it. There will be some spots on the west region board available probably anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANKIEBILL Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 5 hours ago, Garret Deasy said: It is to protect those benefiting from the generosity of the clubs still playing in the junior ranks. There is a consistency of ability from John Fyfe and John Reilly (The East Region head honcho). Zero ability. Will do nothing without asking TJ or previously Scott Robertson to tell them what to do. Secretaries for each region getting at least £15k, plus expenses ((unreceipted). Then fixture secs and then the "management" committee members. Add to that £85,000 pa. for Tom J. The guy who runs the East of Scotland leagues takes £400 per annum to cover costs like phone and travel. That's it! So a lot of jobs and nice little earners to protect. Some might say it is worth it as they do such a good job? Especially those doing the jobs. Not sure how the Flat Earth Society runs itself. But the SJFA is operating at a similar level. You really couldn't make it up. Are those figures accurate ? I qas under impression that TAJ was on around £30k and regional folk mainly voluntary. This is shurely shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its simple really. Enter the South Region Challenge Cup instead of the Junior Cup, essentially just leave the SJFA. We've also got a bunch of potential applicants looking to apply so you're going to have amend your division structure in some way. Possibly even let existing Tier 6 clubs enter at whatever your Tier 6 league will be at the absolute minimum. You alright with all that? No, what a shame. That's okay we've got our own WoSFL to get started with anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only scenario that offered the east region the possibility to get in was the all in approach through option Z given the posture of the EoS. If the SJFA has now stepped back and the west region is now doing its own thing then the SJFA have basically given up on the east region ever being part of the pyramid, because there is zero chance of the EoS ever agreeing to it. Something for West Lothian junior clubs to ponder is that if by some miracle the west region actually got this to work and was able to move over en masse, while the north region also hooks up with the HL up north as appears to be on the cards, that could easily mean that only the east region would be left in the SJFA as soon as next season because solidarity appears to have been thrown oot the windae. This is transparently obviously all about a small clique keeping their blazers in the new order of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely deluded, and Junior clubs should be asking who decided that it was every league for themselves (I guess it explains the "events" at the ERJFA meeting that lead to the Fife clubs leaving, told they're on their own) They are being lead a dance by donkeys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
