glensmad Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 The WoSFL have confirmed this afternoon that the clubs have voted to go to a 16-team top league for season 2021-22, so there will be 7 teams relegated to tier 7 at the end of the coming season. The tier 6 league will be called the "Premier Division", and the other leagues formed after the conference season will be called "1st Division", "2nd Division" and "3rd Division". 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Happy for the names and to see the one season attempt to rejig things. Has it been considered to follow the EoS model for the Conferences this season? Calling them First Division Conference A, B, C and a playoff for an overall First Division champion?

glensmad Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 I don't think anything like that has been agreed or discussed. I suppose it's something that could be discussed during the season if it looks like the fixture calendar would allow it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Hardie Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Intense first season for every club in the premier league to stay in top league,bring it on looking forward to watching it all pan out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Yep, it'll be cut-throat stuff but I'm looking forward to it starting. Finish in the top 13 and you're safe, the same as it was in the WRSJFA Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballermk Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) God awful idea 7 Team relegation in a 20 team non league that is losing two or three months couldn't make this nonsense up. Thats my opinion and several more in the game i'm in close contact with. Add to that a bland weak statement about restarting instead of taking action against said club in the newspaper and those with evidence against them we get this. Who exactly is running the asylum?

If Caley Braves, Cumbernauld Colts, or East Kilbride(!) get relegated but no one from the WOSFL gains promotion then an extra team needs to be relegated to remain at 16 clubs. Same thing happens with the EOSFL. Could also include Dalbeattie Star or Gretna if things changed but they were assigned to the SOSFL last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Just now, Ginaro said: If Caley Braves, Cumbernauld Colts, or East Kilbride(!) get relegated but no one from the WOSFL gains promotion then an extra team needs to be relegated to remain at 16 clubs. Same thing happens with the EOSFL. Could also include Dalbeattie Star or Gretna if things changed but they were assigned to the SOSFL last season. Even the possibility of it if the WoSFL champion is promoted. Especially this year with the Lowland League relegating 2-3 clubs instead of 1-2. But unless Gretna 2008 & Dalbeattie Star get classed as WoSFL clubs for relegation purposes. Its probably not going to be something to worry about for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 True, the next argument will be what to do if there's promotion to the LL but no team received - spare 14th from the drop or promote the best 2nd place from the Conferences? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji6]No, if you finish 12th you'd be safe, 13th place would be relegated in that instance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbaxters Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Seven relegated has to be done to get back to common sense even though it underlines how stupid it is to have a 20 team league. Edited July 11, 2020 by jimbaxters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 As others have rightly pointed out, it could be only 6 down or as many as 8 down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
