oldbeforetime Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 After reading the report from the St Cuthberts manager in the Daily Record it got me thinking When the vote was carried out to start the league on the 10th were the players asked. has it been ratified by the SFA when all other leagues are having there start dates pushed back. are the referees happy with no changing facilities. who is going to police the new legislation from the SFA on the green Zone and a max of 40 people including officials. do clubs having parking capacity for over 40 cars RE- government guidance on single occupancy when driving do the players accept that it will cost them a small fortune to travel to games and training a lot of questions I know but I would be really keen to hear what the players of Threave, Abbey Vale, Heston, lochmaben who all played in monsoon weather conditions with no shower facilities and had to endure the drive home!!! Think it will be more likely the players who will decide if the league continues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All remaining leagues in SPFL, Lowland league and EOS leagues start on Saturday. Amateur leagues seem to have started on Saturday past. Of course refs (like players) won't be happy with no changing facilities but I'll bet most will have agreed to that decision and will just get on with it. Sorry my mistake, seems the west is having a zoom meeting tue to see if the end of Oct is the right time to start the league, and the highland put back till the 28th Nov at the earliest anyway let’s hope we can get a season this year Edited October 5, 2020 by oldbeforetime 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To allow the league to start when the R number is at 1,7 is as PearceDuff CF says irresponsible!!!! SFA have announced that no clubs will be fined if they pull out of The betfred cup. what clubs you claiming to be zoomed mind u? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two semi-finals and a final, and that's it for now. I wouldn't put money on there being a league season this year. Probably get through to January/February and play all the cups and that'll be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbeforetime Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 See the NHS staff in Glasgow ( all be it Daily Record) told to expect a circuit breaker on Friday 7pm. This Covid-19 has a lot to answer to, next year is going to be horrendous when the furlough systems ends!! Saying that Mr Trump seems to be fine after getting it last week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the south have a meeting after the first game of the season??

football.fan Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The whole thing is a shambles. All the clubs had their chance last week to voice their opinion. Makes no sense a meeting taking place after the season starts. If teams are not happy then don’t play this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South fan 2 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Yes don't understand why they have waited .Should have been sorted at last meeting. Heard that clubs who have asked for meeting don't want to car share as well I understand that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
