Well it does, you've got to register an interest by March 1st.

Clubs get sifted out

Those that remain are then invited to apply with a deadline of March 31st.

Sigh, It doesn't say that you can't apply if you don't submit an expression of interest.

I'm going to guess that they are going to organise a Q&A after 1st March and want to gauge interest and have club contact details, clubs at that point will be invited to the meeting. They will also have a rough idea of how to organise the leagues based on interest at that point.

Then they will publish application process and anyone can apply.

I'd love to know what tweet this was in response to! Guessing Greenock won't be joining as this guy is on their committee...

 

Liked by Kilbirnie's Gordon Ronney as well.

I suspect Fan of the Juniors etc won't agree with that sort of opinion.

That Scottishjuniorfitba guy has got a few problems. Was he bullied at school? He doesn't paint a very good image of junior football. No wonder clubs want to leave when they get that kind of abuse. 

I saw another person on twitter refer to those looking to move as rats scurrying from a ship. There was some bad blood out east & still is to some degree but out west I get the feeling things will be even more venomous/toxic.

NB: Jon Connolly has played for so many West Region clubs he deserves to take his team back to his old hunting grounds!

GO WEST!!  But only if we can put together a decent squad.

I'd say they really dont. Eos stays eos. Ersjfa stay eos. Wrsjfa stay west. South remain south for the time being.

Keeps it simple and ensures the integrity of the pyramid.

JC wont always be the manager and its ludicrous that theyd play in west league while others within their own county play in  another

A club should plan what is best for the club long term, not based on where their current manager comes from. 1927 was a long time ago......

Fauldhouse would be a perfect club to oscillate between WOSFL and EOSFL at Tier 6 dependent on relegations from the Lowland League.

However, if JC cannot put a decent squad together they perhaps would be better off opting for Tiers 7 and 8 of the EOSFL.

Nobody needs to move between regions, and nobody will.

With the number of clubs in each area, particularly at tier 6 and 7 in the east there is zero requirement for any club to do this. This would undermine the pyramid integrity. Just promote from below in each region if the leagues are short of a club.

Clubs really shouldn't float between leagues.

You are doing a brilliant job BM but in a true Pyramid clubs on the margins will always need to oscillate at Tier 6. The Pyramid will not work properly if one insists on firm boundaries between WOSFL and EOSFL
