Dundonald about to reverse ferret on their years deferment according to the Courier. 

And who would have thought Liberace was gay, I never saw that one coming!

Which bit of ‘over and above the West Region’ didn’t you understand?

Which part of isn't a part of the SFA Pyramid did you not understand?

I loved Liberace as a child, never knew he was gay either - even went to a specific casino in Vegas so I could see his car. LOVED THAT MAN. America had Liberace, we had Bobby Crush.

Oh right, tier 8 of the EOS. Great pyramid you’re wanting to create.

Get in the sea! Bobby Crush is Armadale compared to the Bonnyrigg of Liberace!

Of course it’s cherrypicking, just as the creation of the LL was cherrypicking (with quite a few rotten cherries getting picked).

The league would be over and above the West Region  leagues. 

The managing committee of the new league would select the clubs ... just as happened with the LL.

Who would chose the "managing committee" ?    The SFA ?   The EoSL/SoSFL ?    The SJFA ?    The PWG ?

And when do you suggest that all this  would be implemented ?

Should be good fun on here next season. Doubt the Westies will take the lip the sweetie rustlers did.

Such negativity here. Where'd I say anything about Tier 8. Great scare mongering you've got going on.

So top of the West Region pyramid of leagues.

Which isn't a part of the SFA Pyramid.

Which would put it at the next available spot in the SFA pyramid if there was integration.

Which would be Tier 6/7.

Glad we agree

So that's 32 teams now. Tier 8 best anyone can get in a year in eos.

Think they'd be more likely to split into regional divisions at Tier 7 than create an 8th Tier.

[LongTimeLurker]

Think it's actually up to 33 with Dundonald?

[Tutankhamen]

Are Fauldhouse think of deserting?

Dundonald would make it 33. If Penicuik, St. Andrews & Arniston are true. They've still to make official statements from what i've seen.

The bottom of the pyramid, with the likes of deadbeats Tweedmouth, Ormiston, Eyemouth and Coldstream will be EOS tier 7 in 2019-20. Where will the top West juniors go?

So up to 36 clubs, in 2 x 18 "conferences" at Tier 6, could be the outcome, with some adjustment/suspension of one or more of the existing cup competitions for 2018/19. The opportunity closes on 7th June.

Evidently, you'll be shocked to discover that some West juniors may either form a new WoSFL at Tier 6 or the west region will integrate with its top division at Tier 6.

And of course as we've seen in the East some of the Juniors might just decide to stay Junior.

Presumably to the mooted WoSFL?

2019-20 would be the obvious starting date.  There is a need now to split the central belt into two tier 5 divisions so once the SFA acknowledges this, it makes sense that the SJFA should administer it, following the tier 5 regulations set by the SFA.

The desertion by the east clubs makes it easier for the administration of the second tier 5 league to be handed over to the SJFA since there would no longer be any significant geographic overlap between the Lowland League serving the east and south and the SJFA Superleague serving the west and centre.

You'll be equally shocked to learn they may form a new tier 5.

Nothing has been decided yet.

 

Apart from the Tayside clubs and clubs shifting allegiance to the juniors elsewhere I’d be astonished if, by 2019-20, there are enough clubs in the east to form a viable East junior league.
