If they voted for me to put my balls in a vice would I do it? Your a bitter wee Bankie supporter who's hatred of Auchinleck Talbot is paramount in your sad little life. I don’t hate Talbot I just find them hilarious,especially their thicko fans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Prez Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 On 08/05/2018 at 22:43, CJ Dalk said: Nobody at Dalkeith is too offended by this, but we are determined to improve the club beyond your 'not very good' description. What you probably don't realise is that over the last 5-6 years our Community Club has steadily grown to 400+ playing members including around 50 girls in addition to 40 qualified coaches. We have a disabled football section, over 50s walking football, our over 35s won their league 2 years in a row, our Sunday Ams got to the Scottish Cup semi-final the season before last, we have 2 adult Futsal teams and will have an Under 20s development side next season, and plans are in place for a Women's team. We are one of only two East Region Junior clubs to have an SFA accredited club Chaplain. Last year our own training facility was upgraded to 3G astro and by the end of the year we'll have access to a full size 3G training pitch. Our SFA Club Licensing application is being processed now so we have been making improvements to the ground and are developing things accordingly. Dalkeith is the 'county town', and Midlothian is the fastest growing Local Authority in Scotland with 4000 new houses to be built within 3 miles of the town centre over the next 10 years. A new train station was opened at Eskbank in 2015, and the main visitor attraction at Dalkeith Country Park has benefited from considerable investment by Buccleuch Estates. The town is definitely on the up and it deserves a strong football club for the locals to follow. You can only wait and see if Dalkeith Thistle's potential is realised, or if it is still 'mediocre' in 5 years time. Absolutely spot on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnie_man Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 From what I'm hearing, the PWG didnt go very well for TJ. No tier 6 across the board, it was never promised by anyone at SFA or PWG. If Junior clubs want it in the East then join the EoS. All agreed gap in the West, SFA will help establish a WoSFL. SJFA so far apart from the rest that there were no discussion as to when the PWG will next meet. If this an accurate summary, and I have no reason to doubt the source, then the SJFA continue as is and if clubs want to join the Pyramid you join the EoS or a new WoS. Looks like an exerice in job preservation. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the logical step, theres no need to force all the clubs into the pyramid if they dont want it or dont feel ready, let those clubs who want to leave and those who want to remain junior can keep the flag flying for the grade! Everyone wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wins. I get the impression that was the attitude of the SFA, along with the realisation they need to offer up a WoSFL to ensure a realistic route into the Pyramid for West Region clubs. It means the SJFA will probably suffer a slow death, but hey ho. What all this "Tier 6 minimum" bollocks was about from TJ who knows, all based on off the cuff comments from Regan no doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knew about the tier 5 or tier 6 proposal for the juniors, it's not happening. The 'grade' will continue to exist for junior football in its own bubble, and if clubs want to to become full members, join the pyramid and get a Club Licence they need to leave. WoS league looking more likely now. EoS league is the only show in town for east region clubs and that will not change.
