HibeeJibee Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Craigroyston of course only left EOSL in 2016, after almost 40yrs participation. Dunbar Utd would be the burgh's 3rd club to play EOSL football. Dunbar Town were members from 1937 until the war - and are apparently the only Scottish club ever to use the suffix 'Town', btw - while Dunbar Blue Circle briefly cemented a place from 1979-80 (same season Whitehill joined, Peebles returned, and Chirnside's swansong) until 1981-82. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Circle's manager was Alec McLaren, whose son Tony played for Dunbar United and later managed them. His son Fraser, who played for Berwick Rangers, is currently playing for Dunbar. Keeping it in the family- it's quite a nice thing really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Initially they were mixing it with the best and made concrete improvements, but difficulties after 3yrs rendered them unable to continue. I don't think they lost any ties on aggregate. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Sir / Madam Given the conjecture following the recent meeting of the Pyramid Working Group, I thought it would be helpful to clarify the purpose of the meeting and what happens next. The meeting was convened following a SFA Board Meeting on 21 April, where the Board agreed that the SFA should lead and facilitate a meeting which would allow the Juniors to be integrated into the Pyramid system. The Group would be led by the SFA President. Present at the Group meeting were representatives of the SFA, SJFA, EOS and LL with Highland League and SOS joining by conference call. Discussion took place on how integration would work in terms of Registrations, Discipline and Fixture Lists in particular. We were unable to resolve all the issues at the meeting however it was agreed that the SFA Board be appraised of the progress at their next meeting in June. N.B. None of the issues raised appeared insurmountable. The Chairman decided that a “straw poll” be taken regarding the Junior involvement in the Pyramid which was: EOS – No. However they did suggest that they had no objection to the West joining at Tier 6 SJFA - Yes. SOS - Yes. HL - conditional on the previously discussed concerns, i.e. Registrations, Discipline, Fixture Lists being resolved. LL - conditional on the previously discussed concerns, i.e. Registrations, Discipline, Fixture Lists being resolved. Further discussions took place regarding the Juniors entering a joint East / West combined Superleague in the Pyramid. The SJFA Secretary advised he would contact the SFA Board requesting a decision at their meeting in June. Yours faithfully T.A. Johnston T.A. Johnston SECRETARY This reads like his "kosher" info that the SFA Board had agree tier 6 entry "as a minimum", look how accurate that turned out to be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kefc Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) My understanding and possibly TJ has cutely failed to inform the clubs that a straw poll was taken with a simple Yes or No on an agreement in principle for all Juniors to join at tier 6, LL and HL voted No. the only Yes was from the SOS. I believe EOS clubs will be informed of the PWG meeting on Thursday. East/West Super League at tier 6 with no WOS League and already a working pyramid in the East. Seems bizarre, rather than everyone getting on board together for the greater good there’s still this Senior/Junior self preservation divide that just makes it messy. A working pyramid shouldn’t be messy, it’s a simple structure that lets teams find their level with no divides with everyone on a level playing field. This could take years to sort out if that’s the SJFA’s stance. Off the top of my head but Where do relegated clubs from LL go? What happens when Junior fixtures run well into June? Hows promotion worked out? Its batshit crazy to hold onto a grade when the simpler solution is to merge as 1 and get all the regions covered.

Also, where do the Tayside Junior clubs fit into the Superdooperleague, if it has promotion to the LL? And if there is a 8/8 East/West split in a 16 team league then why would the West clubs join when they could get a few more and create their own WoS? The Superdooperleague only benefits those East clubs that are holding out against moving to the EoS...

8MileBU Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 So many flaws in that letter, its difficult to know where to start. Start at the bottom where it’s signed Tom Johnston and immediately disregard everything above it as bollux. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
