You are wrong.Voted to join the pyramid and at the time the choice was the EoSL which had 1 division or the SoSL. The choice then was the EoSL. Since then the Juniors have voted to join the pyramid and the EoSL has expanded to where we’d be entering a tier lower than the West Juniors. The standard of football and costs involved in playing at tier 7 in the EoSL make it a complete non starter now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Keeping an eye on this is definitely a good way to avoid Brexit. Think the wee surprise has to be on east region reconstruction? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not wrong we voted to join the east of Scotland league.I would like to point out that I am one of the few who voted to stay in the juniors but I totally object to the board ignoring the vote of the people who own the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the one that circulated Maxwell's email from October saying it was all a done deal when it never was. Personally, I don't think there is any conspiracy to stop non-league clubs joining the pyramid and getting licenced, I think it's just very badly handled by the SFA. Maxwell doesn't have a full grasp of what he is dealing with. I don't think the SFA/SPFL are showing to be very keen to get loads of clubs joining. They've changed licensing requirements and don't seem particularly in a hurry to sort out the ongoing license applications. The way the SFA have handled the pyramid has not exactly been great. I've criticised the SJFA on this a number of times and I'm still critical of them, but the SFA clearly haven't helped the situation to put it mildly. I don't think there is a high degree of enthusiasm amongst SPFL clubs to have a massive influence of non-league SFA members. I'm sure some smaller SPFL clubs do feel threatened by the possibilities of the likes of Auchinleck Talbot coming up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next SFA Board meeting was meant to be in June if the originally scheduled February meeting had taken place. So if it is happening in April they have pushed things forward. To the SFA/SPFL the main concern is meant to be the loss of revenue from the profit share. By having it in April it guarantees that the accepted licenses will be allowed entry in the 2019-20 Scottish Cup and their profit share for the 2019-20 season when it gets dished out. The March 31st deadlines weren't meant to mean anything to Ian Maxwell and I imagine that extends to the other SPFL higher ups. So they probably wouldn't have seen the urgency of a meeting prior to that date, but they would of known about having to revise the 2019-20 Scottish Cup for all these new members. And they have allowed for that, if they had left things to June no one would of been in the 2019-20 Scottish Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
