I don t know the dates of the play offs if they win the league but the rest of the games should be played earlier plenty mid week dates It's not an excuse, I don't need to give an excuse. It's a reason. It is an excuse there is no reason to get the games played it looks bad on the West when their top cup gets treated poorly and if teams pull out because they can't fulfil the fixture the the wosfl has failed the clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 7/5 Outstanding Round of 16 Benburb v. Thorniewood United Kello Rovers v. Clydebank St Roch's v. Hurlford United 21/5 Quarter finals St Roch's/Hurlford United v. Arthurlie Pollok v. Kello Rovers/Clydebank Benburb/Thorniewood United v. Kilwinning Rangers Darvel v. Cambuslang Rangers Darvel might be the only problem if they're in the LL Playoff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we not be disrespecting the 4 clubs involved by making them play midweek to a reduced audience? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 4 hours ago, wow-wee said: I'm a bit disappointed that the new West of Scotland cup is being treated the same as the old junior West cup no set dates and being played like an end of season tournament most teams season are finished and are still waiting to play ties in the cup and the final is away into June a lot of players contracts are finished at the beginning of June as they were told the season would be finished by then so teams progressing in the tournament won't be able to field a team and will have to forfeit their tie due to having insufficient amount of signed players. 6 minutes ago, Kennie said: Would playing our top cup competition Semi-Finals on a midweek not be treating it poorly?

Play the final on the 4th June, bank holiday weekend, give it a proper showcase, support the sponsors who backed the cup from the get go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being given the full treatment as a WoSFL Showcase. It's on the 11th June. A date free of fixtures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it wouldn't be disrespectful playing it midweek in my opinion there are club's who's have no league games left waiting around weeks just to play these ties and we are not at the semi final stage still got early rounds still to be played that could be played in midweek rather being dragged from Saturday to Saturday then you have the final God knows when that kicks in its just like the old days teams are running out of players and can only play signed ones so what do you do if for instance you have only way 8 signed players left to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennie Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 As our Cup Games are all shared gate matches. I believe we should try to maximise the income to the benefit of both teams in the tie. Therefore they should always be Saturday games except in the circumstances where a postponement occurred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
