I’m sure clubs will also be consulting with fans before making some big decisions. Big decisions.... People's fear of losing something tends to outweigh the drive to gain something. It's a natural human instinct. But once you properly and dispassionately quantify what it is you actually have, versus what you potentially stand to gain, the decision becomes easier and logic dictates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't really anything the SFA can do to stop it, and that is assuming they would wish to try and do so anyway. A WoSFL plugs the Pyramid gap, doesn't need any further PWG meetings (which have been binned anyway) and Petrie and Maxwell can walk away job done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We support the sjfa, even though there’s nothing to support other than staying in the junior setup. But we are looking to apply to leave and jump ship. Make your mind up. It's how I felt at this point two years ago. My first preference was for the whole SJFA to move into the pyramid, with the ERSJFA merging with the EOS. But if that couldn't happen then I wanted my club to join the others switching to the EOS. They know the first preference is almost certainly gone now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 On Fauldhouse, I don't think sorting the missing piece in development of the non-league football in Scotland should be side-tracked over one club. Equally, I don't understand how there can be strong feelings either way. The West Lothian boundary is just a line on a map, it's hardly the Rubicon. The ground is about two miles from the boundary. Who cares? And how many people in West Lothian have ever even been to Fauldhouse? It's hardly the Temple Mount of our people. Having lines is useful but a mile here or there makes no difference. It's the end of the world if a team from just outside Lanarkshire play in the West of Scotland Football League, but it's fine for the East of Scotland Football League to have a member that's not even from Scotland?Anyway. Trivia. The holy grail is almost in our grasp so let's get this done and sort out the marginal cases later. Good luck to everyone. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was called the North East league (which it basically is) rather than the HL no one would care. Give it a few years for Clach, Strathspey and Fort William to get relegated and Banks o Dee, Lochee and Broughty to come up and it would be even more North East centric. It;s not farcical for Tayside clubs to be in the Highland League. It's farcical for them to be in a feeder league for the Lowland League and gain promotion to the Highland League 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this couldn't happen. Being north of the HL/LL boundary, they surely wouldn't be able to play in the EoS in the first place? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like myself and others including @Marten have said, keep the HL/LL boundry as is. Have the Tayside and Northern Supers (-Nairn) merge to form the Grampian and Tayside feeder for the HL, with the NCL (+ Nairn) covering the Far North. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot supporter Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Just to confirm this new WOSL would be below the LL and not on par ? So if you got promotion you would go into the LL ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true but some have compared ERJ not being allowed to join because they share an area with EoSFL with an overlay between SoSFL and WoSFL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Cromdale is in Highland these days if going with pre 1975 counties (as per the maps earlier in the thread) then it was in Elginshire before reorganisation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
