You've answered your own question elsewhere with going back to two-legged semis as an example and taking the majority of the gate. There is, there's even a committee with reps from all the leagues.

WOSFL vote to make it voluntary. The 3 corresponding leagues say its mandatory. What happens then?

I think you do

Wouldn't entitlement be thinking they'd have a cup game? Seen it said a few times over the season. Didn't know everyone was guaranteed a game.

Points on the board, but could easily be squeezed out the Top 3. Longer term looking good for them certainly. Built on mid-table last year. Crownpoint to move into to create their own home. Have to imagine SFA membership and being around newer clubs like St Cadoc's, Gartcairn, and Drumchapel Utd as a worse case scenario.

Chances are Inverkeithing wouldn't have got in based on their original application these days. Same with Edinburgh South. Letham couldn't get in based on their ground. Rosyth just folded chasing a ground good enough. Peebles Rovers are meant to be moving. As entry standards rise and the Third Division shrivels. What sort of links are being fostered to interested clubs other than better luck next year?

Pyramid Development Leagues swallowed up a lot of youth football. and the SAFA Leagues already incorporate u19-21s divisions in there structure. u19-21s teams can even compete in the Amateur Cup now.

Don't think anyone could have predicted the Bo'ness Athletic v. Thornton Hibs result.

Success on the park isn't a part of the decision making process. Although we all know a bias will be still be there. South of Scotland is still there as a pyramid league that takes clubs from the West of Scotland area. Which could then lead to them ending up in the WoSFL. I don't really have a problem with the idea of joining an amateur league. A random upstart application can hardly be taken seriously. Even the likes of Edusport/Caley Braves started as an amateur team. Youth clubs already have shown various ways of entering the pyramid: Mergers, player pathway agreements, flags of convenience to access Development league.

Instead of focusing on something that's actually happening. You've made something up. Relegation out of the WoSFL isn't part of the agreement. If it ever were then its a problem that would be identified, workshopped and an acceptable system put in place. Just like "Never going to get a Senior team relegated to the Juniors". Yet the Highland and Junior leagues have come up with something they're okay with. An election system has blatant flaws. Go back in this thread when it was Knightswood or St Pats and little of the conversation had to do with the merits of their respective applications. Banks O'Dee in 2009. Just about every SFL election process. Overall, i'd say there's more pros than cons to this. As clubs at least know what to aim for and have an active process to be part of. Maybe a new division or feeder league could be formed if the accredited list grows to a number that could justify it.

It was hardly clandestine. PWG was deid. The SJFA side begging for any ideas because they wouldn't sanction the west region going in alone. Individual clubs went to find out how to instigate a West league that would get sanctioned. Hence the notes of interest. A meeting to inform potential applicants. Then the actual applications etc. I might as well ask you about the attempts by the West Region/SJFA to kill off the independent WoSFL. As well as months of all in conferences being public, only to have the West Premier tacked on after formation. Since you know about backroom dealings.

What amounts to an election system ain't great, but its baby steps to what could see something more formal eventually.

That'd be a no then. Moaning about cages having to include groundshares.

Fully tuned out during the Dante, Hook, Magnus and...Jericho sequence. Just disappear Chris. Hide away in a studio recording a new album, while your wife's off stumping for Trump at least.

Can you name 8/16? Since that could at lest be considered half full

Officially, I think its more of a Highland League situation. They're not publicising for applicants anymore. Entry requirements are being tightened up. A packed bus/train with an otherwise empty seat if not for a bag. They won't move it unless you ask.

I don't you do since you're the one that brought up ambition and disney villian drug lords.

Enjoy it while it lasts. St Cadoc's and Gartcairn already there. Drumchapel Utd in with a shout for promotion to the Premier finally. Caley Locos have arrested their slide and might return one day. Finnart securing Crownpoint. Who knows what to come from all the 4th Division clubs.

This is more a general question but might be the best place to get answer in light of the Sting nostalgia that's inspired it. WCW Worldwide was never shown on STV? At least not in the morning/afternoon slot that a kid with only 4 tv channels would have stumbled across at some point.

At least one licensed Tier 6 champion taken into account. 0 relegations = Lowland champion promoted, Club 42 relegated to the Highland League. eg. EK up / Elgin down 1 relegation = SPFL Play-off has Lowland area Club 42 and LL Champion promoted or Club 42 win play-off. eg. EK up / Clyde down or Clyde wins play-off. 2 relegations = SPFL Play-off has Lowland area Club 42. Highland champions promoted. eg. Brechin up / Clyde down

I was about to say the very same thing having seen the results. A 1-4 win no less. Admittedly, Edinburgh Community are a middling Third Division side. Hopefully they can address the slide and be more competitive next season in the Second. Tweedmouth and Hawick have been able to shake off the cricket score label the past couple of seasons.

Tranent 3-0 Kilwinning Rangers Threave Rovers 0-3 Cumbernauld Colts Ashfield 2-3 East Kilbride Troon 1-2 Kirkintilloch Rob Roy Semi finals / March 30th Cumbernauld Colts v. Kirkintilloch Rob Roy Tranent v. East Kilbride

You never know. Take their encounters in the Lowland League the first season an EoS Champion was promoted. 2018-19 EoS Champions Kelty: 2-2 / 2-1 in Dalbeattie's favour 2019-20 EoS Champions Bonnyrigg: 0-3 / 0-1 Bonnyrigg win both 2021-22 EoS Champions Bo'ness Utd: 2-1 / 1-2 tied up 3-3 2022-23 EoS Champions Tranent: 0-2 / 1-4 Tranent run away with it

In fairness truly elite teams moved onto "hybrid grass"

I know you've had some different site hostings over the years. So I thought best to include as may have slipped through the cracks. Plus it was easier copy & pasting something When I noticed the couple of discrepancies I figured you may have been looking for a 3rd source. Since yourself and SNLR are the common touchstones. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful if that's the case. Late 2000s might have been around for social media and archive.org but couldn't find anything to make it 2-1. I suppose after eliminating most of the results it would be easier to chase up with the clubs involved for specific answers.
