Cyclizine Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It seems odd that the Evening Times is so keen to continue sponsoring this cup: if they're making it so lucrative, why don't they sponsor the West Cup or Superleague? They'd get a whole season of advertising out of that rather than just being crammed into a week at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Super Leagues don't exist anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclizine Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Fine, the West Region Premiership Championship etc... you know what I meant. Just because there's a current sponsor in place, doesn't mean they're always going to be the sponsor of the competition if something more lucrative comes along. The ET Cup just seems a bit of a gimmicky competition, like the old Drybrough Cup in the 70s - I can understand teams want to keep it given that it seems to be the best sponsored competition, but there seems to be a lot of complaints about cramming in fixtures.

theesel1994 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Were any new clubs admitted to the Juniors (eg Stonehouse Violet returning) as I assume it's at the SJFA AGM they are admitted rather than Regional AGM? I've read various posts of them joining but no mention of grounds being visited/approved like has happened with other new clubs. EDIT : Posted on the wrong thread.

Same as you, my understanding is they would need to be accepted as members today then be placed in the appropriate region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen's Dad Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Good point Cyclizine. According to Juventus Beith got more in prize money for ETs than winning top league - presumably due to lack of sponsorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have came up at today's AGM. 2 clubs mentioned as leaving though. Lewis United folded and Inverness City going into abeyance for a season.

That's a surprise as I'd heard from the horses mouth so to speak that Stonehouse( in the form of Machan Amateurs) were a shoe in. Must have changed their minds at the last moment ????
