LoveFitbaw Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 They ran with split first divisions a few years ago. How many teams get promoted would be my question? The teams joining will not want to spend more than a season in the first division. They had a 3 up 3 down recently(was either last season or the one before) but I think that’s changed now. Could they bring that back to try and give the “bigger teams” a quicker route? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they bring that back to try and give the “bigger teams” a quicker route? It’s two up, two down. But with Milngavie folding, it’ll be one down with what’s-looking-like Dunipace and Drumchapel up. The split of the First Division would only work if you have ten teams in either division, I would’ve thought. Any fewer and it’s a bit of a pointless exercise and a very short league season. Providing no one folds or resigns from the league, you’re sitting with St Pat’s, Campsie, Bannockburn and Westerlands (who have massively improved this year) in the one division with only two promoted. I can’t see the structure changing at such short notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlayer Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I heard castlemilk obc were trying to get in the caley? Although it’s only hearsay, if anyone knows any better? Shaping up to be a cracking league next season in both divisions anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
active8 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The standard of the Cally Premier is not what it was so hopefully with better additions in the next couple of years it will improve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard oF amateur as a whole is not what it was due to the east and west of Scotland teams taking more players than the old junior teams used to. This isn’t a slight on the amateur game it is what it is but the previous 15 years there was teams throwing about cash left right and centre nowadays it’s not so common and the players simply play higher and get paid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
active8 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Heard from a friend certain Cally teams are paying WOS sides for players and they are not game changers just ordinary 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of ‘ordinary players’ at every level. There are also a lot of players who won’t go anywhere without getting paid. This issue, if true, isn’t unique to the Caley league and has been a lot more prevalent in previous years. Given your interest in West Park, I would expect I know who your ‘source’ is and I have a suspicion with regards to the team you’re referring to, but I’ll keep my powder dry because I have absolutely no basis or concrete evidence to back it up.

Amateur Footie Fan Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 GARTCOSH now announced moving from SPAFA to the Calie league. Another really good club to add to Bannockburn, St Pats and Campsie who have already jumped ship from SPAFA to Calie. Never saw any of them coming but SPAFA is imploding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seven clubs left in the league from the old Central Scottish. What was a merger with the Scottish AFL is basically turning into a merger with the Caley... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harestanes, I believe, are struggling for a team. I really hope they manage to get back on their feet. Neilston also rumoured to be going 35s, though unsure if this will run alongside their SPAFA team, or completely moving across and resigning from their current setup. 12 hours ago, Amateur Footie Fan said: From the website, the 12 in the Premier League - 3 Folded, 4 to the Calie which leaves 5.

It's going to be a very lonely league for Oban, Arthurlie, Greenock HSFP and Steins next year if all those changes happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basile Boli Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Wonder if Pather will manage to retain their Sunday squad for Saturdays. I’m sure the £100 a week may sway that decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Feet Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Castlemilk OBC into the morning setup would be wild. The way the wind is blowing we will be left with The Caley as the only decent afternoon set up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Greenock HSFP a few people heard that and I suppose they have decided against it THIS season. Cant see them being happy pumping teams 50 odd to nil for long so watch this space 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv also heard Oban apparently going to the GG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
