If the SFA were at the WRJFA meeting as claimed above, perhaps there is movement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Anyone happen to know if the SFA bothered to say anything at the West meeting? With a couple of days gone, it doesn't sound like anything important was said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Anyone happen to know if the SFA bothered to say anything at the West meeting? With a couple of days gone, it doesn't sound like anything important was said. Junior meetings typically seem to have less info put into to public domain than EoS/LL ones, which might give gist of things, never do any of these meetings put a lot of detail into public domain.(the EoS meeting maxwell attended is probably the most public things got, which by all accounts had ALOT of emotion involved) If as I expect this was a feeler exercise by the SFA into how the west junior clubs were feeling then I’d doubt they’ll be too much info put out.It is possible that the SFA board are planning on attending more organisational meetings since the EoS meeting proved ‘enlightening’ rather than this being a west specific exercise . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennie Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 My invite must have got lost in the post.

LongTimeLurker Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Inaminate Carbon Rod has seemed to have his finger on the pulse where Clydebank are concerned in the past, so what to make of this? Windup or the cat's out the bag now on a breakaway movement by some west region clubs that the SFA bigwigs are taking seriously enough to meet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I missed a recent post from ICR regarding Clydebank ? Recently the Bankies seem to be as silent as the rest of the West Juniors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes quiet on the pyramid at our end, hopefully not for long, clocks ticking for the sjfa to get it resolved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, Bonnyrigg / East Kilbride / BSC / Edinburgh City and Broxburn are all safely in to R4 of the Scottish Cup, and Penicuik enjoyed their run which ended in a superb day out in Glasgow. Surely to goodness everyone can see it now(?) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely to goodness everyone can see it now(?) Yes clubs are seeing it. They've seen it for a while now. Losing money just from being licenced and from automatic entry into the Scottish Cup has made club treasurers sit up and now they're making it difficult for cautious committees to just sit back and go with the flow rather than looking at the realistic costs of going for a licence, or even just joining the Pyramid. There's bound to be an Alex Jack equivalent for non-licenced clubs too so some clubs will have a chance of Scottish FA Cup entry without being licenced. They'll probably have more of a chance of winning that than winning the Junior Cup or Regional League!

They'll probably have more of a chance of winning that than winning the Junior Cup or Regional League! The fact that Broxburn and Penicuik - not the biggest clubs in the East by any means - have amassed over £60k in prize money between them so far alone, plus all the added benefits inc four figure home crowds, unheard of media exposure, matches at Premiership and Championship clubs etc has to have people sit up and take notice. If they can do that, then others can. Speaking solely of the East, the likes of Whitburn, Armadale, Bathgate and Fauldhouse have the potential to do what Broxburn & Penicuik have done, even Tayport if they recapture their former glory. Followers of these clubs can no longer just sit back and say "but we're a Junior club and always will be". Times have changed dramatically. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
