Mon the papers You can't tell from that but there's different shading. As pointed out above, there is actually the remote possibility of a 5th team down in a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Similarly four teams would be promoted from all WoSFL leagues (except the Premier) if the WoSFL champions are promoted to the Lowland League and no team is relegated from the Lowland League to the WoSFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems at odds with previous moves from Bonnyton (although it made perfect geographical sense) and Threave to move to the WOSFL, albeit they weren't via relegation. I suppose it protects the SOS in the meantime, if that's the aim. Selfishly I hope Clydebank do the business this season and become the first West club to be promoted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure every club nominates which League they will drop into if relegated so at the start of the season it is known where they will go. I don't know if that means say at the end of this season, if Gretna survive, they could change their mind an nominate the WOSFL for the start of 2024-25 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there's no danger of that happening when you have a WoS officeholder answer with a straight "no" as his reply on that scenario. There is little to no transparency on this matter for some reason, but it's not the club that gets to choose by all accounts but the four leagues involved. Personally think where each LL club would be relegated should be stated explicitly on the league websites involved, so there is no room for doubt, but maybe there's some procedural reason why they can't do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was in relation to it happening this season - that is, mid-season. Perhaps @glensmad could clarify who decides which league a club can drop into (whether the club themselves or they're told where they're going) ? Also, if it is the former can they change their mind at end of one season for the next season? As for transparency - there is a list somewhere for every club in the LL (excluding Hearts and Celtic B teams). They just don't want the public knowing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last paragraph alone I wouldn't be sorry to see the back of them even to the detriment of my own club as they're the most arrogant fans and club that I've ever saw at our level . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL It's one thing to have a pop at the fans, it's another to have a pop at the club itself. We have a few walloper fans, no doubt about that but the club and the people who run it are a fantastic bunch and don't get the praise they actually deserve. To suggest they are arrogant in any way is a shocking statement. Edited November 13, 2023 by not man of the match 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not man of the match Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Saturday's match with Darvel was a fantastic advert for the league, two good teams going at each other for 90 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon the papers I'm not too fussed about the f##king off part, I just think it's time that a team from the West got promoted and this season should (on paper) be easier than previous ones when considering the potential playoff opponents. Nothing against Beith at all but I'd like to see some movement from the West. The Lowland League could easily be the most exciting league in the country in 5 years time. As for the arrogant part, there's a couple of fanbases in the West Premier who are way worse in my experience! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
