edinabear Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Huge news and a real kick up the erse to junior football. You've just lost the best junior team in the east region. The rest will follow soon. Time to amalgamate all leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macintosh Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 If more east junior clubs are to follow, the eos league will only become more difficult to exit successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the administrator for the juniors info site reads this comment delete them from the list of junior teams who make comment on that site. Kelty are now officially a member of the EoS League and us followers of Junior Football do not want sites relating to Junior football contaminated with their dribble. Bye Kelty Bonnyrigg's halfwit on the loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie n beans Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Tranent have no chance to go up, Nitten will not get relegated there has been a precedent set with Armadale and Bathgate in last 3-4 yrs where they were relegated to South but a team moved and folded and both stayed up.

rtg1971 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Well done guys, especially to all the committee who have certainly jumped through many hoops to obtain the license. Hope your venture pays off and you succeed in your ambitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see why Kelty should get publicity on Junior football forums when they are leaving Junior football. If you remember on the juniors info web site before the new administrator took over and tidied it up we were getting contaminated with info from some club called Spartans and it appears Kelty are now contaminating the same. Bye Kelty So still raging then aye? I take your point, but given you posted about 5 minutes after the announcement was made it seems a bit callous? No doubt the new thread will be opened on the EOS section and your wish will be granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrellburn Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Don't see what the problem is here, if a club is ambitious and feel that joining another league is the best thing for them , then we should wish them the best of luck. Sad to say, but the junior grade is stuck in the 20th century, no make that the 19th, anyone who has been to an SJFA AGM in the past few years will know that. A disaster of a venue, all over in not much more than half an hour, no meaningful discussioin of the pressing topics affecting every club, e.g. difficulty in attracting major sponsors, fixture scheduling, poor grounds resulting in serial cancellation of fixtures during the winter months, etc. I don't remember the same fuss when Ross County jumped ship from the Highland League to join the Scottish League. They are the perfect example of what a small town club CAN achieve if they are determined, the fact that they have a substantial backer does make a difference but its certainly not the whole story. I can see a few other clubs going down the same route in the not too far distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the whole story but without Roy McGregor’s money, Ross County would be playing Annan instead of Aberdeen. A well run club certainly, but they are punching way above their level due to a sugar daddy. The same is the case with Kelty, they wouldn’t be in the position they are in now without significant financial backing. East Kilbride won the LL, again they wouldn’t even exist without the heavy financial backing they receive. That isn’t anything to aspire to, 95% of clubs will never have a sugar daddy to boost them up the leagues. If you have cash/resources to scoot through the backwater of the EoS in a season then great, if you don’t then you can’t risk joining this half-arsed Pyramid, you’re better off remaining Junior. I fear that Kelty moving will lessen the chances of a proper workable Pyramid structure being put in place. The EoS and the SoS are not fit for purpose, and neither is the Lowland League.
