Arthurlie1981 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I wonder if the west Lothian clubs will try and resuscitate this idea with whoever remains in the West Juniors.I don’t think any clubs in the west would want to be part of it now with the proposed WOSFL. It might be something for those clubs in the west and west Lothian might consider that remain junior. For me the West Lothian clubs should move to the EOSFL if they are looking for better competition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proposal was interesting and worth further consideration but due to the attitude of certain clubs it was killed that night!! Don't recall this proposal ever being seen as being alongside the Lowland League or even anything to do with a pyramid. It was an attempt by SJFA to stop clubs leaving the juniors. My club gave their supporters a vote on whether the club should back the proposal , it was a no with numerous no's being because it was not intended to be linked with any future pyramid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there was certainly mention of it but it wasn’t a definite. It was mentioned by some from the east who were pushing heavily for it as it could have been there ticket to the pyramid at that time if they could have convinced whoever it would have been at the time to push for it to sit alongside the lowland league. IIRC TJ did make the same point that if it was shown to be a competitive strong league it could have been achieving (edited to add last 2 sentences) It’s in the past now but if felt bitterly disappointed with the reaction of some clubs who seemed to dismiss it out of hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SFA know the PWG is a dead duck, so you can't go back to that and they aren't going to force the leagues to do something either. All TJ can do is try and dissuade the majority of clubs not to move based on solidarity will get the SJFA into the pyramid eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
