Can you think of any other clubs who would be in a position to be licensed by February and top of the WOSFL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clydebank and Kilwinning have been the most hung ho about the pyramid and are very much aiming for licensing (only new cover needed by the former and floodlights secured from York City by the latter) , so it's not necessarily Talbot that will see being in tier 6 straight away as important.

Junior football is dead in the West, some really cant handle it. its not the Lowland league, The East of Scotland, The South of Scotland, the SFA or the SPFL fault, its the junior association's fault because they just kept going, not improving, no vision and being stagnant and now they forced , I'd say, 30% of junior clubs who didn't want to leave the West region junior association to join a new WOS league stating there would be no west region for season 20/21. 12.. Teams in the conference are in weaker conferences than first thought, making it actually easier to get promoted. 13. All teams bar Boonyton are new teams joining an association thus they have to fall in line what the association decide, the junior association is in the past 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what have I missed in the EOS? When did they decide to move to 18 next season? Dumfries YMCA resigned during this season and aren't coming back for new season. Although as far as I know they're still just in abeyance, so maybe they'll return one day, but it's confirmed they won't play in the SOS for 2020/21. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFA can still veto what gets accepted at tier 6, so if they weren't in the meeting that decided on a 20 team league, they can still block it. I don't know if they would, but they can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The following bit was in the statement: "This new structure will be subject to formal ratification, required by the Scottish Football Association process, and we can now proceed to move forward to make a success of our new league." So how I read it, it still needs the formal ratification and nothing is definite until that moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can take it that it’s been agreed, sounds to me like it’s a tick box exercise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I think the top 20 proposal is shite. I'd been looking forward to a real commitment from all clubs to start afresh with loads of new fixtures that would have promoted the new set-up in every location. If, as has been indicated, this was always likely they should have kept the West structure and slotted the new teams in, either at the bottom or by other agreement to put them in higher up. I doubt that would be realistic though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STRUTHERS Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 They're wasn't there were a couple of options put forward, but they have ran with this one. The only a majority concensus was that the 3 championship clubs should be treated fairly and promoted. I am sure I read somewhere, maybe in here, that there was a unanimous move towards it at the the first meeting?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
