Sounds like you're on the run ! Obviously just can't settle down anywhere. ? I suggest Dyce next, you'll be close to the airport if you need to go quickly.

Agree with your points, be interesting to see how the English pubs manage from today- can't see people standing apart to be honest - with no one to police things.Biggest worry for me is being reliant on testing which is unreliable, then things start up,when you thought it was safe. I

Think that sums the Juniors up, every football supporter understands about clubs, areas, history etc. Whilst doing the Northern LGE I spoke to loads of proud football/coal mining folk and how their villages had been affected, was never told 'you won't understand'

WOW that's some away following, unless the coaches are very small of course. Hopefully the non league may start around October as well.

After the unsociable events at Bellshill etc suppose it's a good thing to have cctv, , if only to catch the idiots involved. Really like the majority of Scottish non lge grounds, hope the improvements are appreciated.

Just out of interest, what are the rules in Scotland over dual league registration (players) anyone know ?

Have said all along that crowds of 500 are completely manageable on the day,with the distancing still in place. Only doubt is when a large number of people suddenly turn up - that's why I mentioned all ticket to be bought before game day. Fingers crossed. Risk over reward eh.

More like a boxer who loses 6 rounds, goes down twice, trainer throws the towel in - but I could have won boss As I said before, every type of football association rarely gets beaten - just think it's only a game of

Feel that it must be a pre season finish to the 19/20 SJC so that we can concentrate on the new season. Could be a big send off for the Junior Cup, attracting a big attendance if allowed. Would be a great pre season finish to play games under the lights.

Amazed how confusing the Amateur set up is, really needs sorting out to make things better. Can only say about my experiences in Bristol running a club. Lge handbook would have secretary,ground,colours etc. Fixtures would go to the council to book pitches for the entire season - paid in two installments. Seems too many leagues in Scotland having just one division, hope things work out.

Quite correct,was making a comment about the (junior) game - give me a stupid answer and you'll get a reaction. Trying to read most topics on P&B, interested in the Development teams right thru to the spfl.

Are the proposed start dates just for behind closed doors ? or is that decision yet to come ? Never did work out why Scotland made the leagues smaller but make you play home,away,home again - no need to play 3 times is there ? Hopefully things will get better and we can get back to the game.

Quite correct, I am English and know nothing about the Junior game, thanks for telling me. Just for your info, I've been visiting Scotland 3 or 4 times a season for the last 5 years watching loads of games. Guessing that someone who supported a Junior club WILL NOT follow their club into the Seniors ? Well done

At least we have a potential start date, (after furlough ? ) any more news on any div2 clubs wantng to have a season off ? all depends on whether fans are allowed in to provide income I imagine.

Thornbury Town (Hellenic Lge) lots of clubs around Bristol have progressed really well with their grounds, once parks teams now at Western League level.

Let's hope a shortened season is agreed prior to kick off , don't want any more cry baby, hard done by stories running all summer long ! Think most leagues will be slightly different next season, at least, depending on how the viruses behave over the winters.

Hopefully we won't get many occasions when teams cry off due to lack of players, should have known the number of players they had / were likely to sign on, before they applied to join the 20's. Positive stuff for the youngsters, wish I could turn back the clock just go and enjoy yourselves.

Agree 100% if I can try and see inside their minds it sounds like a Senior club are trying to play in a Junior Cup - bit like Man City or someone playing in the FA Trophy. Call yourself Glasgow Brickworks FC and play non bricked, who cares ? The Juniors have gone, they were great times, let's move on please.

Boring but every F.A does not like getting beaten, even questioning a booking/sending off can lead to a longer ban,heavier fine. As to Hearts,well, 1)overspent a big budget 2) lost a vast majority of games 3) other teams had the cheek to beat them 4) took part in the end of season vote and 5) believe they are bigger than the spfl and law of the land. HOW UNFAIR LIFE IS

Admit some of that maybe true,looking ahead, what can these sort of clubs aspire to ? or are they just happy to be part of the spfl ? Hopefully the big hitters of non league can find their way through - could spfl2 be enlarged,just playing home and away ? As with the English Leagues some clubs have their time and then sink back to their level, Stoke, Ipswich etc. Guess that lower Scottish clubs have a smaller pool of players to pick from,makes it difficult.

Just imagine, Ashley gets out of Newcastle and then looks for another club to become his cash cow I just wonder.... Seems like the bigger the club, the more desperate need to find money from anywhere, good or bad. Hate somebody - don't buy from them .

What happens when Hearts go down,fail to perform as title favourites and finish 5th...do they say it's unfair to keep them down coz they're a big club ? No club should be taking season ticket money yet, only when fans are allowed in. Guessing that every Hearts home game will be sold out in the Minor Championship ? Putting players on stupid money has to include a relegation clause, common sense.

Well,that was a remake of the Longest Day or 12 Angry Men - did we actually get anywhere apart from Hearts overpaying their players , finishing bottom, and then complaining they may 'suffer' through getting relegated. Surprised the judge n jury stayed awake, roll on tomorrow.

Would be excellent news to see the North Juniors progress at their own pace to join the pyramid, some clubs possibly won't be interested or be financially unable, would be positive move though - then we'll get the Juniors mustn't die rants on here again.

October to May around 32 weeks, just needs a bad winter to upset things. Wonder if the WOSFL plan on arranging many night fixtures to get games played ? that on say Tues/weds would be great. The spfl should be able to get games cleared including night matches. Being a late start to the season, would they have a winter break again ?
