Hard to see why clubs are scrambling to join the seniors isn't it. £200 for runners up FFS Not even enough to get the squad a piss up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea and a quick Google search turns up nothing. You get a minimum of £43K in League 2 though, which is where those clubs are aiming for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Closest I could find was this about the Lowland League: Quote Winner gets automatic entry into the Betfred Cup Group Stage, £17,000 minimum prize money, guaranteed 2 home matches in group also. I presume that's £17k for the winner of the LL? Not every club is getting that are they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £17k is the minimum prize money from the BetFred Cup - it's not the prize money given to the Lowland League winners just for winning their league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) There are lots of different variables affecting LL and eosfl teams and what their incomes are (just like the juniors) the only difference is that entry into the Senior Scottish each season guarantees some money. A top 4 finish (LL) gets you into another cup and potentially more revenue. Not sure the fee for winning the league but i presume, given the pyramid structure, it would be on a par or greater than winning a junior superlegue.... Although I am happy to be corrected as I can't find it. There are other benefits to being licensed to consider.... Accounts, policies, youth structure, club run properly, coaching level, etc etc etc. On the face most of it is administrative but to a greater degree than most do just now... The whole set up is taken into account, infrastructure and all, not just first team, on park success.

LL clubs will get a minimum of £4k for competing in the Scottish Cup 1st round, while the champions get £5k and those progressing to the 2nd round make an additional £5k. Plus their payments from the SFA for being a licensed club. Edited June 15, 2018 by Ginaro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare that to the Junior leagues with from what I heard was £3k for winning the West Super, £1.5k for winning the East Super and somewhere between £8-12k for winning the junior cup (which if you don’t get to at least the Semi Final you rely on a plum draw to make any money from the competition) Happy to be corrected if the figures I heard on the terraces were wrong mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFA Licence compliant • All clubs supplied with a defibrillator and associated training. SFA Licence compliant • Bespoke personalised first aid bag. • Personal Accident and Liability insurance incl. player to player liability paid for by the League. SFA Licence compliant • Match balls and training balls supplied each season. • Bespoke goalkeeping courses. • Coaching courses at heavily discounted rates (or free of charge) up to C Licence level. • Prize money for those Clubs finishing in the top four in the league. • A sound organisational structure with fixtures issued on a seasonal basis. • In combination with the Scottish Lowland League and the South of Scotland League an U20 development league for the development of a player pathway. • Automatic entry for the U20 team into the Scottish Youth Cup. 19 points, 4 of them regarding finances? Fixture list, u20 League, exposure in national cups, SFA Licence, pyramid? Can you make a case for clubs in the East to remain a Junior club that will see them prosper? It’s slowly dying the best non league “blue riband” competition in Scotland can’t even get a sponsor and hasn’t had for years, 1 example of where it’s at. Probably relevant to post this up again give the way the discussion has went around financing especially 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting regarding the East Region, but when are the West & North Regions holding their AGMs and publishing their league structures for next season ? There have been rumours about some junior clubs folding or going into abeyance. Or have I missed it ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 “But we will carry on next season with 25 clubs less. We have our AGM this weekend and before it a special meeting to discuss this matter – that we should join the pyramid in principle. “If we can maintain our identity and be part of the pyramid as the SJFA then that might lighten the blow.” - Tom Johnston Could probably pull that quote from any Tom Johnston interview for the last 5 years, except the "lighten the blow" bit. That seems a bit more defeatist than in the past. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/big-debate-junior-football-prepares-12717228 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclizine Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Quote Our intention is not to be a senior club. We see ourselves as a junior team and it ends there. The sooner this pointless separation into senior, junior, amateur and welfare is binned the better. It is just football. The standards may vary (within and between 'grades'), but the game is exactly the same. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
