That’s even dafter as surely your team is only playing in one of the other? You get promoted then you aren’t active in the east? Not as conflicted but daft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither one is making up the rules or votes as far as i'm aware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next 4 league meeting should be interesting. How about Lowland league 2 Filled with licensed clubs who apply for membership. Applications open to SoS, EoS and WoS clubs. That would test any WoSFL clubs commitment to the pyramid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilbowie's Finest Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I can understand the reluctance of some sides in the West to seek promotion to the Lowland League - the LL would involve significant amounts of travel and the costs associated with this for many WOSL sides especially the Ayrshire ones to the likes of Dalbeattie , Cowdenbeath and Berwick. I don’t think for many WOSL sides this cost would be offset by significantly higher home crowds or larger travelling supports- I have no doubts that the likes of my own team Clydebank , Talbot and Pollok’s travelling supports would also probably be higher than that carried by many LL sides if not nearly all of them. I recognise as a Bankies fan I can’t talk from a position of strength giving our recent form and the likelihood of us blowing our best chance of potential promotion for some time but am worried at the potential for no WOSL sides participating in the LL for some time to come There are many current sides in the WOSL Premier who I feel could more than hold their own in the LL but worry that we won’t get the chance to see this anytime soon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA - are all of these things open to votes by member clubs btw? (I don't know the political workings). if they are it seems like all of the above is fine and in line with the way the organisation should function Edited April 5 by Shanner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be the aim to work towards a positive pyramid, for all clubs interested in such. If there are clubs, and I'm not saying there is, not interested in the bigger pyramid system, then revive the old Junior set up for them. It's baffling that everyone wanted to leave the West Region Juniors but many want to play in the Junior Cup. Who forced all these clubs to leave the West Region Juniors?

It's baffling that everyone wanted to leave the West Region Juniors but many want to play in the Junior Cup. Who forced all these clubs to leave the West Region Juniors? This, in my opinion, is a bad faith argument. It's very possible for clubs to want both - it doesn't need to be an either/or scenario. If the majority of clubs are leaving a league setup, it's not as simple as saying the ones who didn't want to leave should just have stayed put. They aren't staying in the same environment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
