fan of the juniors Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 We have dates for the Scottish now so why can't we organise league games round about them? Any teams that go out the cup early can apply to have an extra league game or if agreeable play 1 of their cup ties. It isn't rocket science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classof2010 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Bad weather replays when 3rd 4th n 5th round due to play just look at last week more games off than ud think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan of the juniors Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 That's when the club can apply to have another provisional fixture put in place . Ffs we didn't know who we were playing this week until Sunday night. Imagine how much sponsorship your club could make if they could say on a set day in April they would be playing their local rivals or the best supported club in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classof2010 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I agree with earlier poster 4 weekly fixtures u cud get a game v beith in April and one or other cud be playing quarters of West or 2 legged scottish semi dump the league cups start league in August or end July play midweek games when u can a full fixture card won't ease congestion end of season might add to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The West Region ought tae gie us dates for the West of Scotland Cup and Ayrshire/Central Cups at the start of the season - would reverse some of the decline of the contests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 11 hours ago, classof2010 said: Because the Scottish cup takes precident over all fixtures it wud be impossible for a season long fixture list cut out shit regional cups at beginning season and get stuck into league games and why not start end of July to stop the farce of 3 or 4 games a week in may Personally I'd ditch the sectional cups and turn the early rounds of the West into a sectional format instead, staggering the group fixtures throughout the opening half of the season rather than playing loads of sectional games at a time when the League should be getting priority. Making the West into a group format would give the wee teams a chance to replace the income taken away by removing the existing sectional cups and it would decrease the total number of Cup games played by bigger teams over the whole season, making space for more league fixtures and the league could be increased to 16 teams, which seems a good and fair compromise to me. It might even renew fan interest in the WOS Cup, but even if it doesn't the aforementioned reasons are good enough to consider it (although I'm sure there will be reasons why it wouldn't work).

classof2010 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The restructure of the league making it the west super league kind of made the west not as prestigious but for me it's still a great cup to win I just think the old scarlett cup went the same way as the league became more prestigious and the league cup got worse when it stopped being a guaranteed North v south final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
