GNU_Linux Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Can’t see it either , possibly been deleted ! It was the all non SPFL clubs being in one round I believe Thanks for clarifying that. As you were at the recent SOSL meeting which Petrie attended did he at any time confirm the SFA backed the EOS/LL led WOSL & were the SOSL in agreement with it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) If I've understood the last few pages correctly, there is a possibility (perhaps remote) of there being two WOS Leagues created at tier 6, with only one having access to the play-offs and promotion to the LL, subject to Licensing requirements. A choice for WRJFA clubs. Do you want to stay in a league that is disconnected from the rest of the pyramid or do you want to join a league that offers full integration into the existing pyramid. If the WRJFA is successful in establishing a semi autonomous league structure within the pyramid, then why can't the ERJFA and NRJFA do the same thing and become part of the pyramid in the same way. If the WRJFA wishes to keep all 63 clubs together, then the solution is staring them in the face ........... just recommend to ALL members that they should apply for membership of the WOSFL as proposed by the LL/EoSFL. Job done, all clubs integrated into a structure not too dissimilar to what the WRJFA already has in place, but with the added benefit of access to Tier 5 and above.. Local rivalries would be maintained as before. No clubs are left floundering in a rump league that is no longer viable. Simples What is stopping that from happening? Apparently it's "the salvation of an association" Those few words say more about the WRJFA's initiative than anything else.

Look at how many clubs were happy to remain in the East Region. If clubs don't want to apply now that's fine. The WoSFL is still going to be there next year. Its not going anywhere.

Guest Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Am I wrong in thinking that the sjfa have quite simply asked the sfa to rename their current top league?Given that it will still sit out with the pyramid and be run by the sjfa is it not just the super league rehashed and renamed?What an awe inspiring plan......see what we will do right, is we will rename our own league to make it look and sound like their one and hopefully that will trick clubs into staying.....'What are we doing today brain....the same thing we do every day pinky, taking over de world'........absolutely ridiculous stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Apparently he thinks the SFA can order this rather than through agreement. If that was the case, the WRJFA and ERJFA would be in the Pyramid right now.Fact is, they can't. There is also the small problem that the SFA would need to drop the LL plan and back the WRJFA. That isn't going to happen.Where's Bamford in all of this? Surely he's in an untenable position?Dont know but given its the head of Clydebank’s academy and one of their board he’s arguing with it shows that even if Bamford is for the wrjfa league, the others at Clydebank dont seem to be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say he effectively did confirm that if I’m honest and the SOSFL isn’t too keen on the stranglehold the LL / EOSFL seem to have when it comes to votes they invariably back one another ! The South seemed happy to agree to the creation of the WOSFL as they believe their backing for it might be reciprocated by the new West when it comes to pushing anything through in terms of changes in the future 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South teams like everyone else out there have the chance to express an interest but whether any of them were to join I’d be surprised as they still be at Tier 6 anyway with very little chance of success against potentially some of Junior footballs best sides 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Gordon Romney is very much muddying the waters to make Junior teams not apply to new Lowland League backed West of Scotland League. "Stuart sorry that is just completely wrong.The LL/EoS are currently in the pyramid structure right now. All LL have licensed clubs, you need to be license to sit a tier 5.EoS sit at tier 6 with 30% approx licences clubs. (I knew this)The LL & The west Junior association both have application in with the SFA to be chosen as one of the options to set up a west league sitting at tier 6. To get promoted and win any play off you must have a license whether your the west winner the east winner or the south of Scotland winner. The winner between the LL and the West juniors won’t be known until 7th June or maybe before" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Other than the benefits of the Talbot £ surely any SoS team joint the WoS would just be setting themselves up for relegation to tier 8 and wet Tuesday night's away in Alexandria 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In amongst the comments, its mentioned how Bonnyrigg and Kelty have joined the pyramid and just had their game against each other in front of 1,500+ The response "still not junior football though" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
