Bestsinceslicebread Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Footballfirst said: So it seems increasingly clear that the WRJFA's advice to clubs is that they must stick together, protest on the steps of Hampden and demand access to the Pyramid. My advice would be that they are going to the wrong venue. Go along to the EK hotel on Thursday, stick together and sign up to the LL WOSFL proposal. That would get all the junior clubs into the pyramid en masse. That is the essence of the offer that is on the table from the LL. In a year or two's time, the majority of the exec positions in the new league will be filled by the ambitious ex Junior clubs, who have a belief in what they are doing in promoting the new league for everyone. Yeah agree with that 'Footballfirst' but tomorrows meeting is not about teams signing up to the LL, is it not about the LL/EOS/SOS telling the clubs how it all works, the benefits and possible structure of the division (s), depending on how many join. So any club can sign up from now until deadline date, is that correct? To be honest, I've been away working today and came online to read this stuff and if its true what Rooney and co are pinning their mast to, well I think its well fucked, infact I find it quite embarrassing what he is asking them to all do, stick together and stand at the steps of Hampden in protest. Any junior chairman or committee man who was at last nights meeting and if this is what Ronney has said it should be pack up bags and get the ball point pens out for the Lowland League. I'm junior through and through all my days but I see the advantage of the pyramid in so many ways, I feel sorry for the junior guys in power who were so blinkered by their own greed and I believe that they haven't been objective in their views of the situation but as I type this I don't feel sorry enough to let any of them involved in organising or running the new WOS league. I wont slag any of them, although I can see why many will but I believe they have made great error of Judgment(S) which is now going against them all Edited March 11, 2020 by Bestsinceslicebread 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SJFA haven't approved Biros, as they weren't around in 1886. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only those that got in a notification of interest can attend the meeting though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronney is claiming the the West Region, in its entirety, is to be put in below the LL. LL will take over the Super League which will also allow any tier 6 teams who want to join (Bonnyton for instance... possibly Glagow Uni). He says this is a "done deal" and the basis of this appears to be the e-mail posted above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure any club whose now decided after last nights events they are interested will be welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the plan he presented to the LL a couple of weeks ago in his last ditch attempt to get the WRJFA in, and was rejected. He is now going to present it tomorrow to the "partial" PWG in order to try and halt everything as he knows fine well it will be rejected again. He's trying to create a mess and hoping the SFA step in. He wanted clubs to appear on the steps at Hampden, presumably prior to PWG, to show support for his plan. Bonkers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born To Run Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) At the risk of swimming against the tide... Im pleasantly surprised with the West Region’s overall suggestions. There is an air of compromise and understanding in there which was lacking from the SJFA in the PWG phase of negotiations. It may prove to be too late, but some people aren’t really considering the gravity of this alternative plan. Voluntarily ceding control of the Premiership would be a huge step.

That is because they are desperate, and think it will allow them to keep control of the remaining 47 clubs. It raises far too many issues and continues division. Make no mistake this is an SJFA plan. The fact remains that the new WoSFL is there, it's happening, all clubs need to do is join it if they want Pyramid access guaranteed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
