superpollok Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 End of day the 2 teams that qualify for the final wont care where it is as getting to a final no matter where it is will be what matters most on Saturday Way too sensible a post.

HUVNAE A SCOOBY Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Reading some of the posts on here and there seems to be a consensus that if you sponsor the tournament, that allows that person to dictate where that final should be played? So are we saying that the dinosaurs that run junior football are prepared to allow someone to dictate to them where a final should be played, just so they don't have to get up off their arses to look for another sponsor? Surely the role of the SJFA here is to try and promote the Junior game?surely the best way to do this is by taking the final to other Junior parks, thus allowing the neutral to come along and watch, and also possibly encouraging folk to come along and watch the game who don't normally attend a Junior game with the view of trying to entice them back,as the game we all watch is slowly dying, as many a team with the exception of a few, will tell you attendances are falling year in year out. Let's get this Final out onto the open road, and get it shared around other clubs who have the facilities to hold such a prestigious cup competition.

HUVNAE A SCOOBY Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Honestly, where do you start with this? Well, where I come from a day oot means starting drinking early doors at your club, then onto a supporters bus enjoying the atmosphere and banter and the build up to the game. This then continues onto a wee social club, bowling green prior to attending the game itself. Once the game is finished and hopefully it's your team that is victorious, you then head back down the road to celebrate into the wee small hour with the players, committee and rest of the supporters, no rush hame fae your work in a Friday night and try and get to the game on time. That my dear man is classed as a DAY OOT. Hope you understand now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still a divide in interest between Ayrshire and Central fans, for example I pay attention to the happenings in the ADL but couldn't tell you much about the Central leagues at all. I probably wouldn't go to a final in Ayrshire between two Central clubs and I doubt many neutrals in the Central region would make the effort to attend a Glasgow-based final between two Ayrshire sides. It's an interest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classof2010 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Pmsl it's ok for Auchinleck or Cumnock to travel to Pollok but not for Pollok or arthurlie to travel to Auchinleck very hypocritical jack d 1908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wile E Coyote Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 This sponsorship thing is nonsense. The winner receives prize money in the hundreds not the thousands. A sensible venue closer to both teams would attract more fans and make up for lack of sponsorship money. Sponsorship of cups in the Juniors is worth very little and is not worth the hassle in this case. I would prefer a more sensible venue. If the final was say Cumnock V Rob Roy, Pollok would be a decent and fair venue, for two Ayrshire teams its a nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan of the juniors Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 How much is the actual prize money for the winners ? Agree that since it's gonna be 2 Ayrshire sides that it would make sense to play it in the Shire. A lot more neutrals will attend if it's at Meadow or Portland park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt the players of whatever two teams are in the final will care whether it's in Glasgow either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile E Coyote Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Can't believe Pollok fans are defending this. If two central teams had to come to Auchinleck I would be the first to say the decision stinks. I can't believe you can't see this. The first consideration for a final venue should be the fans. F the sponsor. I am going to sponsor the Junior cup next season on condition Talbot get a bye to the final and its played in my back garden. I presume the Pollok fans will be OK with this, after all what the sponsor says goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So In theory if say we have 6 cups between the entire ï¸west region and a committee member from each club sponsored one each then would cup finals only be held at 6 grounds max and no other club can host any?

Poolwizard Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 End of the day we all know you unwashed would be glad to get to a final any final even if it was in Afghanistan. If for instance Talbot and Cumnock both got to the final where is the sense in all the supporters travelling all the way to Glasgow. It would be a cluster f**k and only someone fae Scumnock and Pollok could possibly support such a ludicrous arrangement. Mon Talbot! Mon Beith! the good thing is we all know you wont be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superpollok Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 It shouldn't be at Pollok, there's not enough parking available There is a supermarket car park on the doorstep. I doubt that it will be full of shoppers on a Friday night? There isn't many clubs with decent parking. Petershill is the one that springs to mind with its own parking.

JackD1908 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 If it wasn't Pollok would people still be upset? Not saying it's completely fair but it's hardly the end of the world and if the sponsor wants it played at Newlandsfield as a condition of money being put into the junior game is it really such an issue?
