jimbaxters Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 After being quite rightly pulled up for polluting a thread with stuff which was irrelevant , thought it might be useful to have a place to move discussions to which don't really have a dedicated place. Some examples today... Who decided to have a 20 team Premier leagues around Covid times? Should Ashfield or other get to play from a temporary ground? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Ashfield point, I don’t know the details but they should have to be able to demonstrate that they have a viable option as a permanent home ground. it’s a worrying move fir them as a club because they’re probably the poorest supporter of all the Glasgow sides and this will further diminish what support they had or would hope to gain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they not threaten legal action so 3 teams promoted on points per game basis but none of 3 teams relegated. 3 teams due to be relegated were Rutherglen, Troon & Kirkintilloch Rob Roy if used points per game basis but I think felt that was unfair? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 3 years and people are trying to boil it down to one thing. All-In Conferences-16 using West Region Premier-17 with Bonnyton since they were Tier 6-20 with the West Region Championship Top 3 on PPG probably just to give an even number. Since one of them were not declared a champion. A similar story would play out in the EoS where no Premier sides were relegated and 3 teams ended up promoted on PPG to balance out an even number of teams at 18.

You're not seriously suggesting it was decided on the basis of a nice even number! There was plenty of talk on here at the time about the fact as three were being promoted (which was rumoured to have been forced by Darvel threatening legal action) but the three clubs who finished at the bottom were not being relegated. The problem was that the season was cut short so all matches had not been played. Everyone could see that 20 teams was a folly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I remember reading about all this at the time; and think its too simplistic to try and have a one reason answer. Initially there was the conferences but that was pulled; no speculation on reason. Bonnyton applied to join the West, came in at Tier 6; no conspiracies here. Decided that 16 from last SuperPrem or whatever, plus 1; see above. Would be Prem; see above again. Then I think it got a bit confuffled: yes realise not using it correctly but what a great word so thats it's justification. There was comments about the 3 from the old championship should be promoted. And they were, eventually. Others can fill in/speculate about the bit/bits I missed out. There you go a succinct answer. But please don't fact check it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial post was not about having a pop at Ashfield, it was as a defence of the Boys/Cage Clubs that have come in for critique for their facilities or lack of therein. And the questioning of their legitimacy in the league. Oh that felt good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
