San Starko Rover Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Should be an interesting few weeks coming up, what’s the SJFAs next move can’t see TJ sitting back while the big players of the West Juniors trickle over to a WOSFL but does he have any cards left? I expect a handful to come out publicly, a call by some for Junior solidarity and a small minority hurling insults at the teams leaving. Come April we’ll have a WOSFL of 10+ clubs with several following the next season. Personally I like a WOSFL and West Junior league as like the East it gives teams a choice and no one is forced either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I think anyone that wants to play the solidarity line should be trying to find a way to trigger a EGM of the West Region. Try and have a proper discussion on the matter. Not just plead or vent on social media about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShrimpLok Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 50 minutes ago, Sergeant Wilson said: I know we haven't established criteria yet, but what kind of facilities do they have? Most of them are playing out of Council / School 3G type facilities so might be a struggle to meet ground criteria (depending how low the bar is set). Strathaven's setup looks pretty decent. Shared with a Rugby Club but that shouldn't be an issue as such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be the odd radge loyalist club that doesn’t, but they won’t want to be left behind on 31st March.

jamamafegan Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 This is going to play out exactly as it did in the East. Trickle become a flood and some former big names get left behind in a league of terrible quality. Move or watch your club wither, it's that stark a choice. As someone who knows virtually nothing about junior football, which big names got left behind last time? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 63 clubs only 15 of them play Talbot Spot on......and when Talbot realise that most of their current rivals are heading over and the quality of the west junior league will drop massively they will bow to the inevitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to notes 11 and 12 It gives league tables from the leagues that went intermediate.

The Ilford Drummer Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 . 1 hour ago, Inanimate Carbon Rod said: The whole point of the pyramid is that its the stages of senior league progression, you can’t be ‘junior’ in a senior pyramid. It looks like Ladeside won’t go for it and that’s a real shame as they are a cracking outfit. Just wonder which other clubs will stay?? According to their facebook page they have still to have a meeting to discuss it ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeek Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Clydebank and Kilwinnig then as well. They've always hated the juniors imo. From John Aitken's West juniors handbook... all the grade traitors in full. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crfc Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 SFA/sjfa have had years sort out the game in scotland if they aren't willing to move forward with times then the clubs have to take it into there own hands so the best of luck to both sides . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
