I've been to a number of Rossvale leagues games in the last couple of years at Petershill. Outside of friends and family there didn't seem to anybody else there. Makes you wonder how they paid for Bobby Petta. 

I think he only played one game maybe 2 ,best player they have had is Robbie Winters

I'm sure they would have expected some of the locals to come to there games at huntershill but hasn't happened. They have a good set up with there younger teams always seem to do well but juniors not really taken off. A few commitee members and that's about it. Can't see them going on after this season as can't generate any money at a council facility. Shame but a lot of teams in same boat!

If all visiting fans adopt the same attitude as the St Rochs fans who brazenly refused to give Rossvale any entrance fee to watch the game on Saturday, then they'll be lucky to survive this season never mind next.......

Didnt Rossvale sign a couple of first team regulars from Petershill in the summer so must have some cash

They signed a few players in the summer. Unsure of contract situation with players at their old clubs and what their current conditions and recompense are as it it not my business. Signing players does not always mean a club has cash to spare.

Cost could be sorted by using the grading system used in senior football. Ie cost for officials would lower in division 2 than division 1. Availability is an issue but surely the governing bodies want young officials so should attempt to recruit more.

The issue would still be that even at the top end an assistant referee would be paid what? £25-30? Most kids/amateur leagues pay more than that so why would they not go an referee a game there?

In the West Premier & Div1 refs get £55 per game. Each assistant ref gets half that i.e. £27.50

In the district leagues it's £50 & £25

So my point stands, why would any ref go and be an assistant for less money than you can get for doing a kids game?

If you can get two linos, apparently there is a shortage of them so Super Premier & Super 1st get priority. If we could get them, then we'd have linos at all our home games.

Their "ground" does not meet any of the sjfa ground criteria. And yes there are loads of grounds in junior football which don't meet these criteria but these are old grounds. The Rossvale committee, I think, should have been more involved (if at all) in the decision making at the planning stage of the new huntershill facility. I can understand them wanting back to their local community to gain more fans but they have left themselves open for any fans not paying the gate fee when they can just turn up and watch from outside. Fans in junior football deserve better than to be caged in with no proper access to facilities ie toilets and refreshments without having to hop the pitch barrier to walk round pitchside to get to them. If this does happen some match officials may see this as fan(s) attempting to enter the field of play and there club being subject to sanctions from the governing body.

What SJFA criteria does it not meet?
