I don't like taking too much time away from family stuff at the weekends, but evenings are much easier, and I enjoy little more than visiting a new ground somewhere and watching a game in the gloaming. It's a ridiculous mess caused by shambolic disorganisation that is unfair on players and damages sporting integrity, of course, it just works out well for me. Same here Fitba Monday Wed Sat and the occasional Friday as well. Seen 20 different teams in the last 3 weeks which will be 26 by next weekend Love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yeh because they think they have to pay holiday pay paternity pay and all this nonsense. They are right and every one else is wrong. No chance This is probably true of a number of clubs who still dish out brown envelopes every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're ahead of me, but in the last few weeks I've been at Clydebank, Bonnyrigg, Sauchie, Tranent, Hurlford and Arthurlie for midweek matches, only one of which I'd been to before.

EDIT: The assumption is that the 2 clubs not to publicly announce the possibility of leaving are Sauchie and Oakley United. I've not worked out possible 3x12 Leagues for next year because i'm not sure what the decision will be over Dundee North End and Pumpherston. 2 clubs that won championships and might be looking for promotion but it would mean relegating Bathgate Thistle who didn't finish in a relegation zone. I don't have the East Region's previous format intention to hand to see what they did. Edited June 2, 2018 by FairWeatherFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the East Region's previous format intention to hand to see what they did. When I looked at it the best solution looked to be 14 in the Superleague (relegating Kirriemuir and promoting Dundee North End and Pumpherston. You’d then move Newburgh and Lochore to a 10 team south district leaving a 12 team north district. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd make things clear cut for the 3x12 format then. EDIT: Unless i'm missing something obvious to those more familiar with the areas.

The only issue with the three leagues of 12 is it leaves the Superleague very northern with 6 north of Tay clubs and four north east Fife clubs. Leaving it as 14 might make the remaining West Lothian clubs feel a bit less isolated as otherwise it’s a pretty horrible looking League for Fauldhouse and Pumpherston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately whatever they do will risk losing clubs to other regions and the EoS. Fauldhouse have mentioned going West. I don't know the sentiment for Montrose roselea amongst the Angus juniors, but some must be looking at them and thinking the North Super league might not be so bad. It's maybe only the traditional big Tayside teams that care about keeping the East Region going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively "promotion" to the 4th tier, unless they are accomodated further up. If they go the other West Lothian teams should as well. The West Juniors would become the Junior Lowland League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specifically put north east in lower case to mean the clubs were generally further from the Forth Bridge. But if you prefer to get into pedantically referring to either the NE Fife Parliamentary Constituency or the North East Fife Area Committee then of course it currently has three Junior clubs. I presume you forgot about poor Newburgh. The main point being that it wasn’t even short hops over the bridge left for Fauldhouse but trips right up the A92 to far away Fife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be a play-of between the 3 winners to see who is East Champions and qualifies for Scottish Cup (if that is still going to happen). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having clubs signed up that have shown they want to stay Junior will help keep their numbers up if a WoSFL comes along. There's probably some in the Region that don't like the region wide league set up for next year, so it could also be an excuse to bring back some level of regionalisation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was because of the actions of other clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
