Let's just pretend that I am stupid then. Explain why you believe that I'm jealous.

I agree. But, why would he be jealous of the WRSJFA? All parties worked together to create what we have now and it's a credit to them all. We're now on the brink of opening the next chapter of a bright future for us all.

What's it to you?

He'd make a good politician. Waffled on a bit, said nothing we didn't already know and made it out to be all his own work.

Agreed, because what they heard was that they could keep their SJFA membership.

The utter nonsense is that you believe expressing an interest is the same as applying. Some clubs were obviously expressing an interest because, quite rightly, they wanted to know what was on offer from both sides.

By Tuesday, there will be 63 ex WRSJFA in the new WOSL. The majority of which are only there because participation in the SJ Cup will continue. This suggests to me that the SJ Cup is far from dead.

I'm sure it's been mentioned that there was a show of hands at a GM asking if anyone did NOT want to join the Pyramid and not one hand was raised.

Name a club, any club, just one will do. Name a club that's thinking of staying.

And where do you think the candidates will come from?

Yes, really. Where do you think the new management is going to come from?

You've got me wrong then. I'm pro-Junior and pro-Pyramid. It is possible to be both. I believe it's time to accept what's going to come about and time to put all the ill feelings and bitterness aside and work together to make this the best that it can be.

Aye, c'mon, Glensmad, FairWeatherFan, parkcircus, etc, tell us why.

Better get yourself all prepared for more heartbreak then.

Aye, as long as that view is against the Juniors.

They have a right to choose. They have been 'advised' to choose the Pyramid. A Pyramid that they voted to join previously.

Aye, like the ERSJFA leagues. The same leagues that you lot call insignificant and that the teams in it would be better off in the EOSL.

That's just it. If any decide to stay, what kind of future would they have? A few weeks ago, the WOSL was the greatest thing ever thought of and you lot were shouting from the rooftops that everyone should join. What changed?

That's how votes work though. Some you win, some you lose. But once the count is over, that's the decision. Your attempt at claiming that clubs are going in against their will is clearly false.

They made their choice a few years back, when they voted to join the Pyramid. That is what is happening now.

Only because I think that may think it better to remain as a big fish in their own pond than swimming over the dam into a loch filled with even bigger fish. Or in the case of Bonnyton, leaving a tier 6 league where they could end up in a 3 way play-off to join tier 6 conferences where they'd need to win a 4 way play-off to get into the 3 way play-off. Which might also once the 1st season is over see them at tier 9 if things go badly for them. That's why.

Probably once these clubs realise that they will be pitched in with the 63 clubs from the WRSJFA, they'll maybe have a wee re-think.

Boyd said that they were leaving Abbey Park. The fans didn't like it. The Buffs are now at Pennyburn. Boyd says that they're leaving the Juniors. The fans might not like that either. Guess what happens.

Better ask someone from the ERSJFA or EOSL.

Aye. Ok.
