Did the Fife teams get an invite to play in the Fife Senior Cup this year? I know the Shippie play in it regularly but just wondered if the rest were invited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron Wilson Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 3 hours ago, Footballfirst said: Is this the beginning of the end for the East Juniors as we know them? Glenrothes probably fancy games against Inverkeithing, Oakley, Burntisland and maybe Crossgates next year. Rosyth most likely to feel the same, Star Hearts have no historic attachment to the juniors. Thornton, Kirkcaldy, Lochore will surely follow as they're all in the same neck of the woods. As we saw last year, it's mainly about geography, especially for the smaller clubs. With Fife gone that will snooker the ERJFAs plan for a reshuffle to keep disgruntled WL clubs happy, so Fauldhouse will go, then it's domino effect time in WL too. Whats left of the East region may become the Tayside league that the PWG has been talking about. This paves the way for all the remaining juniors to enter the pyramid as one block, at least administratively. North may join too, but promotion and relegation to HL may not come straight away. This would all mean the most difficult part of the pyramid conundrum is largely solved. One question is where will Newbourgh and Tayport play? Are they more "Tayside" than "Fife" ? Might the HL/LL dividing line be adjusted for them? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 If they’re below the Tay they’re in the LL area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you could lower the line ever so slightly purely for Tayport as it wouldn't effect anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years now we have had a fantastic youth set up and have had football teams available through the age groups from U5’s to adult. ... This step was taken to further develop our pathway for the players and to grow the competitive game through the pyramid system already set up. Success of the application would see competitive football at a good level in the local area for players to aspire to and support. We hope you can support us in our growth and development. Glenrothes Strollers FC committee Wouldn't be shocked if this was one of the factors in Glenrothes Juniors making the change. I was saying how it could be argued that East Kilbride FC and Cumbernauld Colts have overtaken East Kilbride Thistle and Cumbernauld United. History and tradition is great, but you also have to look to the next generation to keep things going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Anyone looking for another surprise candidate for applying you can always look at the SFA's Quality Mark awards. The top marking is Legacy and there's a few familiar names you'll see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The best conclusion we could see to all this is Lochee playing midweek away games at Brora and Wick, imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they could just close off the park at the gate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM Soccer was also quoted but that was probably just speculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
