I feel they would have made a sensible decision and delayed until they can safely get fans into the grounds.

I think it’s strange that the West seem to be holding back while the other regions are happy to get going. Each to their own. Protecting the club's future is more important than playing right now. Maybe the lesser impact of covid through east? Pollok lost a great man to it. My daughter is currently self isolating aged 2. It feels pretty real to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestsinceslicebread Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Here's a thought, smaller in the scheme of things but still an important issue. If the 14 clubs who pull out for this season, does this mean that if they run a development team that the parent development team will have to pull out of the development league. Heard that the dev league was supposed to start on the 6th of November but unsure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Just to say some of the WoS Premier divisions pulling out probably makes things easier for those that have pushed for the league to start. Likely lowers the number of games needed to be played and could make the pathway to the title easier if some of the favourites like Talbot and Pollok do withdraw for the year.

Lot of teams will lose lot of there players if shut down for year? Dumb to have no promotion. Can they not put four up. East of Scotland League had twenty four teams in Division one last year. All the teams seemed to like it. Thirty four games not as long as thirty eight and all. Pollok were not EVER "dead against" leavingthe Juniors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whittlets don't fit that trend and not sure Cumnock do either given the timing of their licensing application. The no promotion thing is as yet uncomfirmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Away for a wee while and return to find the West of Scotland League appears to have lost it's head, no promotion or relegation, clubs withdrawing. WTF is going on. I notice some are talking about no changing rooms being a factor, we used ours today as authorised by the league. Takes a bit of planning, but it's not a blanket ban. Someone needs to get a grip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvel legend Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Quite simply the clubs in the conferences have been shafted Bigtime , its an absolute disgrace and would put u off football at our level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
