wullie robb Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) So if you speak to people in and around Football you're probably looking at. Bonnyrigg Camelon Hill of Beath Dundonald Bluebell Plus maybe one more from your Superleague. Plus Kelty from the season before. OK the East Juniors ain't dead yet, but they're standing on the bridge considering jumping off.

Jason King Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) The likes of Dunbar and Ormiston though are just steps on the Pyramid - as more and more teams either join the EOS from the Junior or other leagues and teams get promoted and relegated from the higher reaches of the pyramid you end up at your appropriate level. And if you are playing Ormiston its because that's the level your club finds itself at and indeed the level Ormiston find themselves at. Suck it up - teams in the East are currently playing the likes of Forfar West End, Arniston and Edinburgh United as that's the level those clubs find themselves at and the great thing about the pyramid is that there is no longer a glass ceiling, you can aim for as high as you want (making sure that you don't bankrupt the club in the process though) The list printed by Wullie Robb there is by my reckoning (as a Westie) a quarter of the top flight - that's 25% of the best teams in the East region deciding they would rather move and join the pyramid and play Ormiston and Tweedmouth instead of staying put and believing the SJFA line that everything is going to be fine. You cant really blame them for going. And Dundonald, HoB and Camelon are also going to realise that Bonnyrigg are already going to be favourites (or at worst 2nd favourites) for the EOS league next season and they could end up stuck in the EOS for a lengthy period of time but they are looking at the long game instead of the jam tomorrow outlook that certain posters in this thread are looking for.

Aye Burnie so I've heard, you've got to worry how the bigger clubs are going to sustain support when they play lesser teams in the Juniors after a reshuffle of leagues as is sure to happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor7 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 If the EOS league does split into two regional divisions for next season as has been suggested on here Dundonald could be playing more league games against Fife teams than they have for a few seasons, could be less travelling for them as well. By my reckoning they have already played at least three levels of football, Amateur 1938/9, Juvenile from at least 42-3 to 45-6 and junior 46-7 to date, no reason why they cant go senior if the support for it is there. Dundonald have a good setup, and a very strong squad. Would be another worthy addition the EOS league but a big loss to the East Region. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it won’t be regionally split next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th1stleandr0se Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Can someone clarify this to me please - are the SJFA talking about a "merger" into the SFA league system, lock, stock and barrel for all Junior teams? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 The likely end game for the season after next in the east is the remaining east region juniors excluding Tayside will tag on as divisions 3 and 4 of the eos. There may well be space for a few in division 2. What the feck then happens to the Tayside juniors including Larry the dinosaur will be interesting. Even if the northjuniors and Tayside juniors join to create leagues under the hfl, feck knows who would decide the pecking order of who gets in top league. Perhaps Tayside juniors withlaz leading will form a single league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in Advance No one appears to be prepared to divulge this information so supporters as always are left in the dark. There is plenty of speculation about who's involved(not aĺl of it accurate) so it seems like we'll have to wait until some time after the EOS EGM on the 26th to actually find out what's happening. In the meantime page after page of this thread is filled with pointless discussion over possible set ups in two seasons time rather than discussing the current developments which are surely of more importance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some clubs want to keep their intentions private until the EoS EGM then you have to respect that. Discussions over where things are in two seasons time are hardly pointless in the context of the thread and remember nobody has actually resigned from the SJFA yet. The SJFA themselves cannot even tell you what is going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
