It was quoted juniors are being considered for T5 as an equivalent of HL and LL So option W (or X or Y or whatever it was!), done deal!? oh me sides, that’s hilarious! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) It is strangely quiet given that there were up to 63 clubs represented at the WRJFA meeting. We have seen suggestions (perhaps trolling) that the WRJFA has obtained agreement from the SFA and has a "done deal" on the table for a Tier 6 entry to the pyramid. We have also seen suggestions that there are further discussions to be had about entry to the pyramid at Tier 5. If those sort of discussions or proposals have actually taken place and progressed as suggested, then let's consider them. Let's say that the actual position is that the SFA have said that "the SFA would have no objection to a WRJFA run WOSL" Could the WRJFA put a spin on that as an agreed "done deal"? Similarly, if the SFA had no objection to the WRJFA running a "West" league at Tier 5, in effect a Lowland League West. There are a few problems with those scenarios. Primarily that the SFA doesn't run the leagues. The SPFL, LL, EOSFL and SOSFL run the leagues. Any new league formed within the pyramid would have to be agreed with those parties in order to be integrated into the pyramid via promotion/relegation/playoffs/licensing requirements. If the WRJFA was to run a LLW, then how many licensed teams would it have? One - Girvan (subject to floodlights)? Or are they inviting applications from EK, Colts, Braves, BSC, U of S, Dalbeattie etc? Edited March 11, 2020 by Footballfirst 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born To Run Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I suspect the Tier 5 line is a troll. If that turns out to be legit...then I'll be speechless. They'd be mad to try that after the "done deal" at tier 6 chat, surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Normally things come out pretty fast if the blazers think things have gone well for them. Maybe something will come out before Thursday but as things stand no news probably means independent WoS still very strong favourite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Informer Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Let’s put it this way, if the SFA have agreed to anything without speaking to the other party then it’s not going to look very good for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible under the terms of the wording in the pyramid agreement for the juniors to add at tier 5, it expclicity says tier 5 is only the HL and LL, and only a playoff between those 2 can replace team 42 in the spfl. It also expclicity says any amendment to the pyramid route into spfl has to be agreed by all parties. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stulch Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Must be frustrating, nothing to slag offWhat's frustrating is that the Juniors didn't join the pyramid in 2003 when it was talked about then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Word I'm getting from the meeting is that the WRJFA league has been ratified by the SFA. The exact wording used was it's a "done deal".2018 called. It wants it's email back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok - if that happens, I'll crunch up a pot noodle (I don't even care what flavour anymore) into a bowl and eat it like a breakfast cereal. All these bets I'm losing I'm going to be going through a lot of pot noodles by the time this season is over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suggestions mentioned above have been circulating for over a year or more.It seems to be the case if we do not hear anything concrete from last nights meeting we will speculate what the outcome will be.Truth is, am fed up reading dross.We could save a helloffa man hours If people post what they believe to be facts and not what they want to believe. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
