The only team due to be relegated from the LL is Vale of Leithen, who will go to the EoSFL. If the WoSFL champions are promoted, 6 teams will be relegated from the WoSFL Premier division to the new Div 1 and the 3 conference champions (Arthurlie, Cambuslang & Petershill) promoted, so that next season's Premier Division will be reduced to 16 clubs. If the WoSFL champions do not win the promotion mini-league, 7 clubs will need to be relegated from the Premier Division to reduce it to 16 for next season. Below that, the relegated clubs and the remaining teams in the Conferences will be split into Divisions 1 (16 clubs), 2 (16 clubs) and 3 (the rest) based on the final league positions in the Conferences. What will happen to the 8 clubs currently in WoSFL Division 4 has not yet been decided. It's nice to be quoted but it'd have been even nicer to have been credited!!! Especially as I'm a regular poster on here as well as a moderator on the Pollok "another" Fans' Forum.

theesel1994 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 A couple of months ago I was saying Benburb, Beith and Glencairn were all safe. They're not safe yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the default number is 3 up and down throughout the leagues from next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably needs to be such a rule in place. It's probably unlikely to apply for a few years yet, but if the unthinkable happened and Darvel came back down with Cumbernauld Colts and the WoSFL champions didn't go up, they would need to relegate 5 teams to keep the Premier at 16. The same would then apply to the divisions below. To potentially relegate 5 from 16 seems a bit too much. May be better to promote 2 in and relegate 2-4 depending on what happens above.
