The reason why i looked so far ahead was based on the present day rules of one promotion place and playoffs into the LL from above and below.
Hypothetically had the pyramid began say in 1980 then by now we'd have clearly seen the outcome.
The rules of course could change in time to automatic promotion/relegation to the LL and above.
Why i mention public transport is because of the Darvel affect.
You can really forget a midweek game without access to a car.
Not exactly great when the bulk of Central Belt population is almost but not quite within reach.
How long can it be time wise to Darvel, from say the top end of Hamilton in a car?
I'll admit I'm suspicious of football grounds that are nowhere near a train station.
The Station Parks at Forfar and Dalmellington must be triggers then
bloody beeching.

What you mean by taking over ?
Two teams from totally different areas. One from Giffnock and one from GovanI meant taking over in context of Div 4.

I`m certainly no fan of Talbot, would love to see them go out the all the cups... legitimately though!
However, if Talbot have documented evidence (email or text) showing they asked the cup manager if the player was eligible, and were told yes he is... then it is not their fault and should be reinstated.
What higher authority can they possibly go to, to check these details other than the competition organiser/manager?
If they do not have that evidence in print and it was only verbally confirmed, then they are goosed and out the cup. If someone tells you anything verbally, you should always ask for a follow up in writing... "The ACE email" (Arse Covering Exercise).
If they haven`t asked the questions, or checked the facts - then they should rightfully be kicked out.
And, if they have knowingly appealed without the correct evidence/documentation in place, they should be fined (loads, hunners and plenty)
Do you expect the 'cup manager' to have the wherewithal to collate and then share that information?

Or even seeing he had played with Clydebank and looking up their line-ups.

As you are probably aware there are a few clubs down here with a great wee setup. The work they are doing at Creetown for example. That's why we need to get them properly into the pyramid not 'hiding'. (awaits flak from usual suspects).
All the teams that arrive at Meadow Park are massively impressed and greater exposure can only improve the game down here. Re Threave, yes I know they have half the Dalbeattie team from last year and not all clubs can afford to do that.
Aye I have been to Creetown a few times, likewise Wigtown and single visits to St Cuthbert and Threave (although that one was way before the improvements). Love the SoS, down here at least a few times a year and always hope it coincides with a game somewhere!

I was at Newton v Stirling Uni on saturday. Great wee set up there at Blairmount, have been there in the past but not since the rebuild. Good crowd too. A few pics - need to click for right proportion.

Glasgow Wellington are deluded if they think they could see off any challenge for promotion from a WoS and EoS winner. Daft travel that could be avoided by playing WoS Div 4. A publicity stunt surely.

He always wore sort of padded, leggings. I used to try and emulate his look, by tucking my tracksuit bottoms into my tangerine socks when I kicked about in the garden with my mates. I even painted my Dundee Utd subbeteo team's goalie's legs black, so it would look more like him!
Never a United fan but one of my favourite keepers from my childhood. And the padded trousers I had so much envy for

Pollok were never anti-pyramid either as the years rolled by. We had officials on the printed record being in favour. We always voted positively on any pyramid survey that came in the door from Hampden. We were one of the 24 clubs (?) that voted for the pyramid back in the 00s. Obviously some were far more outspoken against (Talbot for one) but the doomsday merchants were given absolute backing to do so by the powers that be.

The fish rots from the head down, as the saying goes.
Not every delegate and club had that point of view as it was scorned on this very forum before nightfall.

The year Kelty departed the SFJA top table sneered at them at the SJFA AGM for doing so. Heard that from multiple sources.
CLubs were told that should they leave for the LL but choose to come back, they'd start at the bottom, i.e. a 4 division demotion for the likes of Pollok. We were interested but fear and tradition was used to stop dissention.
TLDR: Tom Johnston is the answer to all your questions.
It will take another 20 years to undo this 5 years of messing about as the waves lapped Tom Canute's feet.

Yes - Brora are at a higher level than Darvel are at present
Aye on a technicality due to the West pyramid only starting last season!

No idea what level this is, would it be a bigger minter than the Brora Rangers defeat of Hearts?
half the squad have played Championship level or above, the other half L1. Very few without Scottish League experience. Also almost untouchable in the West set-up. They're really an L1 side on their make up.

Glad we avoided 12-1

Good chance to beat the club's record 11-1 victory here. Should be going for it.
Not sure you understand the standard.
Would you expect to beat a League 2 side by that margin? All bar two of our team from the Annan game played in the 'big leagues' and some dare I say it higher than Ayr. Aye you might win but think anything like that assumes our lads took up the sport for fun last week.

look am not looking to fall out with anyone about this.i attended a eos meeting which Clydebank fc attended they were the only team to do so from the west.they produced a letter from the sjfa which threatened them with expulsion from the ground share they had at the time.Kelty received a similar letter stating they would be fined for not fulfilling fixtures if they joined the eos.no other teams from the west or east region made inquiries about joining at that time even those that were licensed.the east teams moved once bonnyrigg left.dont really think movement will happen anytime soon this will just drag on.i also suspect the sfa will tighten up entry level licencesing to make it harder for clubs.
Joining EoS as a West side was a lunatic proposal.

I always assume that any comment made on a forum is only ever a personal view - as is mine.
No matter which league a team plays in, they will always find their appropriate level.
To move teams from one association to another simply on the basis that geography would make it neater, just does not make sense.
Teams in the SoS league have enough issues moving back and forth along the A75 corridor without the not inconsiderable additional travel involved within the Wos league setup.
If the SoS teams are happy to be in that league setup then leave them be - they only interact occasionally with the other leagues in any case.
I am up and down to Newton a lot from various directions so know the roads well. It is a large area that is covered but you can be in Ayr from Newton in not much over an hour and in Lanrkshire within 2. Considering the SoS sides are more than likely to end up in the same lower division were there a merger, you'd be talking about a handful of trips into greater Glasgow area with the status quo every other week. Threave have already taken the plunge; if Saints for example follow, who would be next? It already seems to resemble the East Juniors -> EoS trickle led by Kelty.

I think it is a good idea. Central Scotland should have a tier 5 league.
Jeez - this is an SJFA trojan horse and little more.

Was he linked with us do you know? To be honest I wasn't even aware he was without a club. I presume he returned to the continent after being released by Dundee United
He's from NW England.

thanks for that - saw a blog from the weekend's game that didn't mention them when describing ground so assumed there'd been a delay as I was aware it was planned.

Was there not a total cut off last season from the youth set-up?
