1 Team in the East Cup Final 1 Team in the West Cup Final with another playing in the Semi Final 2 Teams in the last 8 of the Scottish The League select winning 16 v 0 last weekend so you post is just another negative comment about the SPAFA So let me balance your negativety your beloved Cally have only 1 team left in all the nationals / district Cups which make the decision for those teams to move Leagues even more bewildering considering the reasons given
-
So we have following Leagues Teams through to the last 8 of The Saturday Scottish Cup 2 SPAL Teams 2 KOFAFA Teams 1 AYRSHIRE Team [ guaranteed one from the replays ] 1 LEAFA Team And 4 teams awating replays 2 From Ayrshire 1 From GGPL 1 From the last remaining Saturday Morning League Interesting and not surprising that they are none from The Cally again

If you a referring to The SAFA blazers .......well I can assure you they have put a lot of pressure on The powers above and constantly do......... in fact The SAFA Secretary and President [ who runs a amateur team ] are just as upset and sick of the situation as you are ................................ but you will find its Sports Scotland are the ones involved in decisions and I believe a compromise was made for some groups being allowed than none at all -

All teams in each section play home and away which should take most sections up to Christmas then all being well the League would start in the new year with teams only playing each other once and The Jimmy Marshall Trophy would be played as well [ TBC ] -

First set of fixtures now on website http://www.safl.co.uk/index.php?id=all_cup_fixtures. Centenary Trophy will be played within 5 regions [ Glasgow / Renfrewshire / West / Lanarkshire / Argyle to prevent to much travelling -
Dated suspension has always been a hit and miss ......player given 2 month suspension over the winter period may miss less games than the player giving a 4 match suspension, or another example over the winter period a player giving a 4 game ban is out longer than the 2 month suspended player......so a I said its been hit and miss for years...

I reckon Suspensions/ fines will still stand In my opinion the problem with null and void is you can't move a team up,if a team in a higher Division folds / leaves [ unless you draw the team from the lower division out a hat ]

Tug - Amateur football will survive but a number of Leagues will fold, Thus regionalisation is the answer in my opinion to prevent as many for doing that. They is a chain of thought from people who use this forum either to read the posts or contribute to a topic of " I'm all right jack " attitude but forgetting when you are in a position [ like me ] you have to look at the whole amateur football game not just your own League, Now it has been said to me the reason I am pushing for regionalisation is because my League [ SAFL ] is losing teams [ all leagues are ] NOT TRUE I have suggesting this format since about 2006 and past presidents/secretaries of The SAFA know that and I was even involved in discussions with leagues about 20 years ago regarding something similar. Its also been put to me that amalgamation of Leagues is the answer to the problem it may well be however I think that is only a temporary solution as it does not answer the travel issues. Saying that all above is insignificant of what some people are going through right now -
Nope, I do not know as I was not present

I do not often agree with you "Amateur Footie Fan" but your are right on this...……….. wonder why they did not

Regionalisation is 100% the way forward for one season then create 2 super Divisions after that season. And the remaining teams just continue to play in regions Simple to do for Saturday afternoon football and The SAFA are aware of it [ and have small support within it ] as we put it forward to them back Last September B4 the shut down. -
Graham how are you? hope your are keeping well.....the rule I refer to change is player registrations, and only allowed to play once on a Saturday, who is going to give up the chance to play [ if successful ] in the Scottish / West cup latter stages or chasing a League title to then registrar for a summer League assume start date is march, so that's why I mention if some current Leagues who are struggling moved it may be better than a new League starting thus keeping the players and clubs as not everyone could play in Winter Leagues. And as a dinosaur and as you know I have always been very pro active on changes and made a good few happen
