Even less so in light of the potential fly in the ointment over licencing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juniors clubs have been parochial and often petty, but this pales to insignificance in comparison to the incompetence of the professionals of the football authorities. Not one of them is worth a wage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthurlie1981 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Well why don't they just back out then. It just all smacks of trying to get back at the clubs that left to better themselves Why would clubs in the west & north want to get back at clubs who left? I can maybe understand the East clubs but they are in the minority. The SJFA put forward a plan that is something resembling what their clubs wanted, the SFA agreed and the EOS/LL disagreed. It’s not the juniors fault the SFA have (until now at least) backed their plan. If the SFA had rejected it out of hand as unworkable in the East then the SJFA would have had to come up with other proposals. The ire of the EOS clubs should be with the SFA and some of their own representatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the SJFA were offered the chance of West in next season (because nobody objects to that) with work continuing to find agreement in the East, but this was knocked back by SJFA. What would West clubs do then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 If I remember right, isn't the West Region meant to be meeting tonight? With the 16 team West Premiership with a split a topic of conversation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they weren't happy with the proposal at the time they could have tabled amendments and voted on any alternatives put forward (but they didn't ) so they must be happy with the original proposal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
