Hopefully leagues a mixed and not regionalised i.e. a Paisley league, Ayrshire league, Glasgow league. 

Thanks.

Counted 54 teams listed. Wondering who Team 55 is?

I know you're a fan of this level of football Craig so hopefully I'm wrong but reckon we should run a sweep on how many will still be going at the end of the season.

I'll take 47!

That's a big increase. Interesting to see Annan Athletic and Dumbarton buying into the idea too and, maybe, other SPFL clubs will look at doing so in the future.

Premier Div. has 12 teams; Div.1 has 12 teams; Div.2 has 9 teams and Div.3 has 10 teams and Div.4 has 9 teams. That a fair spread of interest throughout the league.

They are all run differently and treated differently by the first team and committees.  Some teams have players not paying any money at all.  Some teams have to find their own sponsorship and players having to pay money.  As the years go on and teams/committees gain more experience then the U20s should settle down to a level number and be productive for the first team and the clubs.

Hopefully those who run Scottish Football learn from this excellent model of regionalisation and adopt it from Scottish Championship downwards. It works in England why not here?

Whilst this is only under 20s football, its a shame that non league pay days and derby matches take priority over true sporting merit.

Interesting from my perspective with following Div 4 last term.

Only Campbeltown and Eglinton who don't have a development team entered. Good to see the new clubs buying in and committing to the concept of player pathway.

With Annan in the division assume that means a team from above the WOSL can opt for the West development league if suits them better than the LL Development league?

You missed Dumbarton as well.

Haha. It must be murder for the boys posting things like this. There's always someone waiting to point out a mistake. 😂

It's not exactly a mistake 50+ teams. Annan catches the eye because it was the 1st name in Conference A and then the 1st name of Section 1. It's easy to get lost in a sea of badges.

Bankies v sons of rock 1st game. The old rivalry cannie wait

 

Mon the papers

I love the fact that there's so many local derbies in the sections. I'm really excited to get the competition started. It's been a lot of work for me and the committee and now having fixtures to look forward to is finally making it seem real.
