At a guess maybe they’re worried either team could draw in the junior cup. Replay would be 6/10 leading to a postponement of the cup final had it been the 7th?

Maybe it's the combination of that and you guys being in the big Scottish on the 22nd. Still I'm on holiday that weekend so every cloud ...

Talbot 1978 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Another tiptop decision by this outfit. No wonder people outwith the juniors see it they way they do. Honestly can't help themselves Shameful decision to play it there in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennie Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 6 hours ago, Smudger said: Don't suppose Kenny would be kind enough to come on here and explain why the final is being held there A few weeks ago, I sent out the following email to all 63 clubs in the region. To all clubs The West Region are looking to hold Cup Finals at suitable venues. Would your club like to host a Final? Does your venue fit the bill? Sell it to us. Tell us why you think we should come to you. Tell us about your facilities and why they would be suitable. Tell us about the benefits we would get by holding it there. Tell us about transport links and nearby facilities for fans etc. It's over to you. Reply to me via a separate message preferably with a PDF listing your application. Many Thanks Kennie Young Fixture Secretary WRSJFA The response to this was very, very disappointing indeed. It was our intention to try and find suitable venues to take our finals to outwith the 'normal suspects'. We are also considering, for next season anyway, announcing at the start of the season where the final will be placed, and no matter who gets to that final, that's where it's to be. But back to the matter in question. As I said, the response to my email was very poor, 8 clubs replied. On this occasion we also had a request from Lesmahagow Juniors F.C. to consider and that played a part in our deliberations. It is, therefore, our view that Newlandsfield is the best option out of those 8 applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 good response Kenny, the main thing is that venues outwith the norm are now being considered. the playing surfaces at Beith, Meadow and Kilbirnie to give just three examples are now well justified in hosting a final.

jimbaxters Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Interesting reply that Kennie, thanks. Out of interest, does a round robin communication like this asking for feedback usually get a good response? I’m wondering if it’s the best method of reaching people or if the recipients are just lazy €$*%#s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Quite so. Given that Muirkirk also has a decent playing surface and would've suited both clubs maybe they just didn't have someone manning the e-mail hotline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
