Beenzon-Toste Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 It's not a glass ceiling, I'm sure if Coldstream, Burntisland Shipyard, Civil Service Strollers, Haddington, St.Andrews etc (no disrespect to any of them), can install them, then most clubs can. The immediate benefit is a season long fixture list where midweek winter games can be scheduled to catch-up on postponements without disrupting the fixture list, instead of the 4 games a week in May and June.When last did a club play 4 games in a week?Or is this more of your misinformation desperately designed to show the SJFA in a bad light? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beenzon-Toste Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Are you saying that Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday schedules don't exist? Look no further than JulyAugust.I always believed that a 'week' was 7 days.In football terms that meant Saturday to Friday. So, in fact, you're referring to a team having 4 games in 8 days. Not 4 games a week. Although 4 games a week suits your diatribe better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet that's a bad rep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet that's a bad rep. I haven't looked at everyone across every region,. I just went for the most obvious club as last year's West Premiership champion since they would have had to finish their league campaign by the 1st weekend of May in order to participate in the Lowland League play-off. 11th May was that deadline and including that date Talbot had to play 7 league games, nearly a quarter of their league games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says that any club can't get a Licence? 18 months ago anyone at Broxburn would have laughed at you if you had said they would be Licenced and in the 4th Round of the Scottish Cup at St.Mirren, selling 1,500 tickets, having already beaten an SPFL side, and in line to pocket £42k in prize money alone. Same goes for Penicuik at Partick Thistle with a travelling support of almost 1,500. Sometimes you just need to take then chance and see where it gets you. If the WRJFA are admitted then these clubs will be moving anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been stated on here plenty of times in threads that you have posted on. Have a quick reminder of the many many pluses to becoming a senior team in the pyramid and then come back and tell us all of the benefits in staying in a "grade" that's dying on its arse and where clubs like Auchinleck have been left behind by the likes of BSC, Bonnyrigg and Glenrothes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you arguing for the formation of a stand alone West of Scotland League to give clubs a choice? Not arguing for anything, just would like you to point out the actual benefits of the Pyramid for those teams that, for whatever reasons, are unable to get a license. There were increased grants available for the likes of the EoS not available to the Juniors teams. Admittedly the likes of the Scottish Football Partnership has cut their max allocation. Still might be better than what can be available as a Junior side. Access to the u20 league, rumoured about other additional youth leagues that might come along. Qualifying route into the SFA Scottish Cup. For those clubs that aren't members of the SFA they would compete in another cup competition played on the same dates as the Scottish Cup. This currently culminates in the South & East of Scotland Cup Winner's Shield. Greater mix of other clubs that are licensed in your league, which means more clubs would have floodlights. This could aid a non-licensed clubs fixture congestion. Look at how Auchinleck Talbot have had a number of midweek games arranged in advance to clubs that have floodlights. In the East there's been a split and traditional/close rivals have been lost. Joining the pyramid will likely see these renewed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
