It went to the dogs when two clubs were dragged through the mud due to hearsay. However does anybody know what the set up is for next season? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linlithgow's league crowds were actually the same as last season - 358 v 359 but with a Bo'ness home game still to come. Even a Tuesday night cup game against Whitehill rearranged at a few days notice had a crowd of 175. The EOS Premier Division average was 223 with big games to come, last season those same teams got an average of 174 in the conferences. so despite what we observe with our own eyes it must be incorrect because some onanistic anorak wearing stato with a sheet of paper says so ..oh well damn going to games and sad as it is counting the crowd.....just for comparison reasons you understand , just to see how the bright new way forward is panning out ....and for further elucidation we attend games with hee haw to do with us and our league and level in some silly old fashioned idea of supporting Scottish non league football and lastly in our opinion and experience the bright new world isn't as bright and shiny and successful as claimed but it is the way forward..maybe the numerous games we picked to attend were just on bad nights eh !

As Cumbernauld United fan, are you going to many EoS games to have any say in how they're doing attendance wise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As any good stat person knows, if one things out, its all out. Not suggesting its all way off but its not something id use for any comparison, safe to say all of scottish football is struggling as prices go up and fans are further removed from the big decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you entirely........I suppose the point I am struggling to make is that things are changing but there is no significant positive improvement in the product or packaging......and as far as the decision making goes I gave up a season ticket at a premier league club for that very reason .......but 8 years down the line I still don't think they've noticed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where is there integrity in denying new teams membership of the league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what i liked about junior football and okay it wasn't perfect but felt it was on the right track. Product wise was hoping an inclusion of some new keen folk at the region level would bring forward further ideas, open up meetings, set up a funding and grant committee and in some alternate universe organise what should be, the simple addition of a promotion spot to the LL for the aspirational. Look how that all turned out lol Edited May 1, 2020 by Killiepiyo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born To Run Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Increasingly looking like the 20 team Premier is a go-er. 47 teams left in Tier 7, three conferences of 15/16 teams each. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the fairest, promote 3 Championship teams. If the season is truncated, you can always split in 2 leagues of 10 instead, possibly with EOS-style inter-conference games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 2 × 10 sections can easily provide either 18 or 28 games if they need to truncate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyramidic Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Quote The West of Scotland League have opened the door for a 20-team tier six as part of their junior divisions overhaul, Lanarkshire Live Sport understands. It was revealed earlier this week that the original proposal for a conference system would not be allowed by the SFA. However, the WoSL put a plan to clubs that would see 17 teams enter a top division, including Bonnyton Thistle and the current West Premiership sides, known as tier six. The remaining 50 sides would then enter a tier seven conference system. However, following a video call between clubs this week it has been revealed to by a source within the Lanarkshire junior sides that a 20-team alternative has also been put on the table. This would mean the top three teams who finished the West Region Championship - Cumbernauld, Blantyre Vics, and Darvel - would be promoted with no relegation from the old Premiership. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/west-scotland-league-tout-20-21957846 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Talbot accept promotion now to Tier 5 if it was available i.e. subject to the proviso that the floodlights were up in time for next season (whenever that starts))? Adding Talbot and Bo'ness United to make an 18 club Tier 5 would make for an exciting league and allow a second west club to move up in twelve months time, helping to re-balance things at Tier 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With twenty clubs it could be adjusted to two ten club conferences in an emergency situation e.g. a severely delayed kick-off to the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrific decision by the sfa and lowland if somehow it came about. Have to agree with this. Looks like it's going to be 20 team league just so an awkward decision about relegation can be avoided. Absolute folly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
