Jack Burton Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Making league 1 & 2 regional would be shite. The current setup means up to 40% of the league can change if you had two regional leagues feeding into the Championship then there is no way there would be as much movement in the league. Would be beyond tedious to end up playing the same teams season after season. For most of the central belt clubs it wouldn't make a huge difference anyway for a club in league 1 you would be replacing Cove and Peterhead with Annan and Stranraer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the outlying clubs don’t have a huge amount of difference. @HibeeJibee worked out Berwick s travel a few years ago(back when they were in the big leagues ) and the difference was negligible. The biggest journeys only happen a few times a season. The rest are just journeys to different parts of the central belt. Elgin are really not going care if it’s a 3 our trip to methil or 3 1/2 to coatbridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Just as its the most active thread in the Junior section this seems like a decent place to get an answer. Having a quick look around Armadale got their floodlights back in the 50s. Non-League Scotland doesn't credit the club with floodlights http://nonleaguescotland.org.uk/armadale.htm When did the old halogen floodlights fall into disuse? Cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Sorry for being downbeat, aren't the floodlight stanchions a bit low down ? Maybe you can alter the height afterwards, the LED will be an improvement I would guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder NLS says no lights, as unless they've put up more poles or columns recently then it seems like it's just a couple beside their enclosure - no planning permission for anything bigger either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well going by the tweet it says first 2 sections. So i'm assuming there's more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGafraidh Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 How many more defections will it take for the East league to crumble... 3? 4? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Southern section is down to 13. Livingston United have let it be known they're applying for 2021-22 having missed this year's deadline. So that's them down to 12. I think it's already done. It just has to play itself out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably just takes one other club to trigger a cascade effect of decisions that need to be made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Unless you have height restrictions on players and fans I guess. Training lights low down when the balls up in the air 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very much a game of pass and move. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Must confess I've seen bits of pass and move in a few games, and a few players who shouldn't have tried to do it ! Saw an excellent game at Holm Park : scottish amateurs v central, impressed by the standard and attitude on show. Can't wait to get back to Scotland, see a few more games,visit some new grounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeek Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Maybe that's the reason then, up to 30 spread about the ground. Thought that had been changed - ps step 7 is County League level downwards I think. Looking at the Arsenal fans in a pub, looks as if it's all back to normal down south.Played Brislington tonight (western prem). Had to be behind closed doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing you didn't use the clubhouse after ? All interesting stuff to get things going somehow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Is there a list yet of the 10 clubs who've not opted to retain SJFA membership? Obviously some (three or four clubs) are already known as they've went public. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
