Think the indications are that the SFA board have a preferred outcome at this point that is different from your one. That's different from being clueless. Think you are projecting on the irrational grudge thing. Did you miss my recent posts in which I was arguing that the EoS should do as much as possible to attract more junior clubs into their fold for next season? Assured by PM........I said anyone around that table could have made the suggestion, so it could have been Petrie. What is clear is that this isn’t SFA policy, SPFL policy or LL policy, it’s a suggestion to stir debate. It’s a little disingenuous to imply that the SFA want to drive that particular suggestion when they haven’t even spoken to any of the parties involved. My best guess would be the LL wouldn’t even entertain the idea until such times the SPFL opened up further promotion spots, and the SPFL won’t want three feeders until such times as the top division in the west is established and fully Licenced. If you’re claiming that Brechin are bleating about possibly going to the HL, wait until clubs are faced with being relegated to one of two regional Lowland Leagues. Let’s remember, neither Petrie or Maxwell had any idea that the HL/LL existed, and Maxwell himself admitted his knowledge of non-league football was poor, followed by trying to shoehorn another east league into the Pyramid. Given those facts, and the way the PWG has gone so far, then I’ll let others make up their own mind as to whether the SFA are a bit clueless or not.

See that's my take on it. They could easily put together a side to challenge for the Highland League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Not the guy from Lochee and I argued against a lot of what he was saying back when he was posting. Again, have you actually been reading my recent posts where I have been saying that the best thing that could happen from a pyramid standpoint is another mass defection of ERSJFA clubs to the EoS?

stanley Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Wish an east junior club would apply to the EoS or something would happen with the west juniors moving to the senior pyramid so we would actually have something new to talk about... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Fair, why does the west still believe that tier 5 entry is an option? Do you mean tier 6 or tier 7?

Because it was put on the list of options. Because they're dismissive of the standard of the Lowland League. Because not enough of them care for entering the pyramid.

FairWeatherFan Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 For those yet to go to the Junior thread. The West Region supposedly had a vote for Option Z which is the Lowland West and Lowland East in 2021-22. And from a wide group of posters there has been reports that a racial slur was used to describe the EoSL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 So it seems as long as: the West want in at a tier 5, and tier 5 continues to require clubs have a licence which you can't get without first joining the pyramid then there will be a perpetual stalemate? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they're waiting a year to do it. A year to get licenced. If that year turns out to not actually lead anywhere, well the die hard juniors will probably be happy with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumnock and Petershill went through all the paperwork to try and start licencing. We know Clydebank have voted to go senior and also have a trust meeting on Sunday. So there are clubs out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
