Big surprise for me anyway has been that it's not one of the smaller district division clubs like Blackburn that have been the first to start seriously exploring this given it was the likes of Preston and Ormiston that made the switch in the past.

The only change I saw over the years was that he appeared to eventually realise that it wasn't just Tom Johnston and the SJFA that were an obstacle to the sort of change he wanted. He's been pushing the idea that the EoS could soon collapse due to clubs moving to the juniors in recent times, so big name clubs moving in the opposite direction maybe doesn't fit his preferred script at the moment on how to move things beyond the current impasse, but I seriously doubt he would steer clear over that. Suspect it's as simple as something like being on holiday and having better things to do with his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He normally has a lot to say. Thank f**k. Was bored with his "now you just don't understand like I do" tendency to condescension (as if he was the only person on P&B that had ever done work for a non-league club), going off in a Cartman type huff & blocking everyone (or so he claimed) every time his arguments failed to hold water - before coming back to repeat the same nonsense a month later - usually with a couple of the more IQ damaged mouthbreathers from the Junior section in tow. 3 hours ago, newcastle broon said: Well as I said could be totally wrong but Burnie_man was pro juniors a few months ago but reading posts i think his views have changed.

Every last one of them? My goodness, you could almost be forgiven for thinking not only are they not so much "Junior people" but "Ra Peepul", but such a silence could indicate that many who strangely only post when certain other posters are on (usually to give them back up) could merely be (shock!) other poster's "smartphone" or "workplace PC" sock puppet accounts. Yes I know, an astonishing revelation that's never crossed anyone's mind in P&B - much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quicker they jump the easier it would be to get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Surely that would have to be the case in every division then? What? Why? It would be the proverbial carrot for getting Juniors and other to join the pyramid and would allow the cream to rise and the dross to fall nicely. It would guarantee Lowland and Highland champions promotion. We don't have to have uniformity. The Championship has a different play off structure to Leagues One and Two and until recently was only one up-one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
