Tier 6 - Premier Division - champions promoted to HL if licensed, 2 relegated Tier 7 - First Division - 2 promoted, 3 relegated Tier 8 would be regionalised Second Division West - champions promoted Second Division East - champions promoted Second Division Tayside - champions promoted That just won't work as the area is too large for that. Best would be Tayside joining the NRJFA & tier 6 becoming NCL & North Superleague (with Tayside included). Tier 7 below the North Superleague can be a first division for Tayside and one for the current North region clubs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could even see Talbot putting in an application and then wait until it's clear how many clubs will join. The application can always be cancelled with them staying junior if just a handful of clubs move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) As of today the juniors have sent their note of interest in joining any new west league that would allow ourselves access to the pyramid system. If this system goes ahead it could be put in place by next season. But more will be made clear of who will be running it and the initial set up hopefully by this week. A return to EDC or the north of the city is something that I am sure everyone at the juniors would love to see. And we believe that discussions with the academy committee, council, councillors & trust is the only way we will find out if say huntershill can be funded to bring it up to the standards required for the juniors to even play premiership junior football, never mind senior football. A joint effort by all parties surely is something that should be looked at to see if EDC are in anway shape or form interested in creating something very special at the hub. I will be happy to get involved with you guys for a chat initially to lay out a plan to hopefully get answers from the council at least. There will also be one more member of the juniors committee happy to join me in discussions. At present the juniors are sharing with benburb juniors over in the south side of the city. This has worked out tremendously well for ourselves. We intend also to speak to them very shortly to see what their thoughts are regarding the pyramid system and also any works that maybe required within their complex. I would like to ensure all parties that we are more than willing to put all efforts behind this but we must also protect ourselves at the same regarding any possible move away from new tinto park. If the council agreed to any refurbishment for huntershill then this work would have to be fully completed before we would commit ourselves to leaving a perfectly good complex. We all know too well being given promises by local governments and mp's can change very quickly.

Better than a separate Tayside league on tier 6 and to have regionwide leagues for North & Tayside would mean too much traveling for the smaller teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll clarify. If you have a combined North/Tayside Superleague at Tier 6, say 16 teams, so 8 from each region, it leaves 24 teams in the North, ie too much for one league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, I should have been clearer in my post, in the area of the current NRJFA there would be a tier 8 league as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossvale contacted the Junior association to ask if they could have an U23 team join the league at the bottom tier and were knocked back. This could also be considered if junior teams leave the junior ranks for the seniors. Many could add a team back into the juniors. Your talking absolute nonsense regarding Rossvale Juniors they havent approached nobody at the Sjfa regarding this so your so called know it all about them is all bluff sir stop spreading daft rumours Edited February 10, 2020 by Valemafia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think I made that clear in my previous post tbf Bo’ness Sauchie & Linlithgow. You can argue over the direct links of those clubs but there’s very little doubt if clubs leave to join the WoS and then a year after enter a youth/reserve team in the juniors they will be accepted with the misinformation campaign claiming those clubs were coming back after finding the pyramid not to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear no foe Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Ladeside committee are for the pyramid ( or so they say ) but are still under impression that super negotiator TJ will lead the juniors to the promised land. Will they apply without SJFA and the clubs joining en masse ? Doubt it. Personally a would leave the juniors asap. The fans really don't understand what is going on , you have committee men on here asking questions...what chance do fans have ffsPost of the day.The time has come tae just have fitba IMO, same as every other nation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
