Stag Nation Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 19 hours ago, FairWeatherFan said: The £5k figure for semis, and £12k for the final are guarantees, not prize money. Will they be guaranteed for future seasons, as the membership shrinks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different to how its evolved over the years. Of the £5K semi final guarantee, the SJFA might only be paying £1500 as the rest actually comes from the gate money over the two games. If there was a decent enough crowd they wouldn't be paying any money. Same with the final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Pub League Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 They are not a Junior club, they are senior cuckoos doing nothing but taking money from the pockets of real Junior clubs in the East and North. Bizarre its being allowed and even more bizarre that a poster is so happy to see the "grade" being taken for a ride by clubs who couldnt get out of it quick enough just a couple of months ago. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you lads determined to expunge the term Junior Football from everything possible? If a club is a member of the Scottish Junior Football Association and elect to play in the Scottish Junior Cup then they have Junior status. Yes, they will ply their trade in the senior pyramid and as such as Senior clubs. We all know that but you can't deny some semblence of Junior exists. You're making yourselves look really petty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior football is being equated in some circles with nasty No voting, Rangers supporting and flute playing proles that can't afford bus fares to Ibrox, so some people have lost all sense of reason on these issues. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making yourselves look really petty As previously stated, which you appear to have missed again and again, I want to have the Junior cup for actual real Junior clubs and not for Senior clubs who couldnt wait to leave the "grade". All those months you were defending the "grade" and now you are happy for your club to screw that same "grade" and the clubs within it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beenzon-Toste Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 As previously stated, which you appear to have missed again and again, I want to have the Junior cup for actual real Junior clubs and not for Senior clubs who couldnt wait to leave the "grade". All those months you were defending the "grade" and now you are happy for your club to screw that same "grade" and the clubs within it. I think that you're missing the point. If the Junior Cup was left with just North and East competing it would have faded into insignificance. Keeping the West involved keeps it as the biggest cup in lower league football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
