Guessing it'll be brought up as a motion again with the influx of new clubs. Juniors will continue to participate in at least the 2018-19 & 2019-20 seasons as I don't think it'll be brought up at this year's AGM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuggie123 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) One of the most disappointing things about this whole thing is the complete lack of information about it on the official East Region Juniors Website. For or against, you would think they would at least want to keep people informed. Edited June 3, 2018 by shuggie123 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To change it would need to go through SFA AGM and I'm not aware of any proposal in place yet to remove it? Such a proposal was defeated a year or two back. I was only asking I never really agreed with the decision to let juniors enter the SC, although it seems to have had a positive effect towards the pyramid. To let the likes of Talbot in to milk the senior teat just seems a bit off to me, considering their opposition to the senior game 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 14 hours ago, FairWeatherFan said: Can't see this being stable moving forward because most of the clubs are now clustered at two geographical extremes well over an hour apart that are not natural rivals and most of the teams involved don't have much in the way of a regular support with close to half being what are effectively amateur clubs in all but name that are unlikely to actually really want to be promoted into a superleague format minus the bigger clubs that left. Assuming it doesn't get opened up again to another round of applications, which could further complicate what works in numbers terms, I think they might be better off having a Tayside league and a Fife/West Lothian (minus Tayport and Newburgh) one, and binning the east superleague completely. That might be difficult in terms of their constitution though, if most of the 16 best placed clubs insist otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the amateur leagues get included in the pyramid, which I would support by means of opening up the possibility of voluntary promotion to the lowest pyramid tiers (like between England's tiers 10-11), these clubs could get licensed and earn entry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, aka the cake slicing thing is an interesting point. I suspect no-one on here knows. You could be right in what you imply. It could also be that to the SFA, the sums involved are pretty trivial, and expanding the cake would scarcely register on the balance sheet. We’ll certainly see in due course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what about the EoS and SoS clubs not (seemingly?) interested in getting licensed (such as Eyemouth?). If Eyemouth were to win the EoS or the East/South Shield, they'd be getting a cup place. You're only in the pyramid by quirk of fate and have to do absoluetely nothing that requires engagement with the pyramid beyond doing what you always have!
