Then let clubs make their own minds up. You have to ask why the WRJFA hasn't called an EGM as yet ? I suspect most of us already know the answer . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By gaining annual Scottish Cup entry, you’re just a couple of games away from a few thousand in prize money (especially if the changes to prelim rounds come in). Long term, clubs can pay off the high initial cost with a few good runs. Precisely. And any west current junior clubs wondering how they could afford floodlights, just ask Dunipace. If they can do it I would have no fears for Premier and Championship clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Ronney said it will cost clubs a minimum of £150K to get grounds to SFA Licence standard. Yeah, Haddington, Tranent, Dunipace, Dundonald etc etc etc all had 150k to spend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of lithgae might they were slating us because we got poles from a scrappies but it's done the job while they spent a fortune on theirs We were lucky though in that we were licensed pre the requirement for floodlights and then got a couple of good runs in the Scottish which provided the funds straight off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Why is this cost of lights thing even coming up as an issue? You don't need them to be able to play in a WoS regardless of who is running it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather suspect he does but, disappointingly, he is just the latest in a recent run of posters who are on this thread to obfuscate and confuse before making the claim that they and the Junior grade have been disrespected in some way when the answers they seek are set out patiently and clearly and turn out not to be to their liking. Understanding both the WRSJFA WoSFL offering and the LL/EoSFL WoSFL offering is indeed, as subsequently pointed out, exactly what he and many should be doing - but pedantically querying the LL/EoSFL position while making next to no (no?) queries of the WRSJFA position really isn't going to uncover the answers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I get that but is Gordon Ronney not arguing for the west region to run the LL west feeder rather than staying out of the pyramid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need them to be able to play in a WoS regardless of who is running it. The costs are identical for a LL run WOSFL or a WRJFA run WOSFL within the pyramid, i.e. zero if you are not seeking to obtain an SFA licence, or a variable figure depending on each individual club's starting point if they are looking to get licensed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, it's just another attempt to muddy the waters and scare people off. The truth is that just about every West Region junior club's current facilities will be compliant for the ground requirements at tier 6, if the EoSFL criteria are to be matched in the WoSFL. Most clubs will not need to spend a penny that they don't want to spend, but they will still be able to join the WoSFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better than the pics suggest, you can see the new changing rooms etc on the Twitter feed, and there's a good wee pie stall too. All of it from nothing in 18 months. Playing there was one of the highlights of the conferences season for me. It was Linlithgow Rose's first game in a furren country, Berwick's a cracking wee town so we made the most of it, had a wander around the walls and lunch before the game then walked across the sands to Lindisfarne afterwards. People seem to think that moving into the pyramid is only of interest to the bigger clubs that could be trying to get promotion season after season. But for the smaller clubs, moving to the seniors offers a chance for re-invigoration. Tweedmouth are an example of that, so are Dunipace, Ormiston, Inverkeithing... so many smaller clubs using it as a catalyst to grow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
