Best hope at least 20 clubs apply, or there will be some cricket scores on a regular basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the bright side, when the bridge across the Irish Sea is built the Dumfries to Stranraer line might be reopened . Anyway apart from Girvan, and Ayr United Reserves for a brief time in the 40s, have any other Ayrshire sides played in the SoS? I'm just curious (excluding Bonnyton of course). No others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Pure hunch...... Colville Park will be next to come out.Wouldn't say so as they had to withdraw from the league this season after a player exodus & also their gaffer going to Darvel. Pretty sure their ground isn't enclosed either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I'm surprised that only 7 West Premier clubs have expressed an interest so far. Unless asking for more information doesn't count as an interest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer1969 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 In other news, in a much needed boost to the much maligned , abused and denigrated SoS, it has been revealed that Chic Charnley is coming out of retirement to once again ply his wares in Bonnie Galloway. (He might even play some football too) As his old team Tarff Rovers are sadly no more, he's decided to head for SubTopical Creetown, where a confirmed extra 23 souls are preparing to watch his 2nd debut in the South. Trammanford Park will never have seen the like. Now back the real world 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Burnie_man Posted February 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 Pyramid Statement 12/02/2020 By Media Team The latest Pyramid Working Group Update Following the statement issued on 7 February 2020, numerous informal contacts have been made by Clubs interested in the formation of a new West of Scotland League [WoSFL] at Tier 6 in the Pyramid. This shows clearly that there is an appetite for such an expansion of the Pyramid. The Scottish Lowland Football League [SLFL], in conjunction with the East of Scotland Football League [EoSFL] can now lay out the high level plan to introduce the WoSFL by the start of season 2020/2021. The next step will be to invite Clubs to register an Expression of Interest to George Fraser, Chairperson of the SLFL by Sunday 1 March, to geo_fraser @hotmail.co.uk. Any expressions of interest must include the contact details of at least one club official. These will be treated in the strictest confidence. Clubs should not contact the newly formed email address relating to WoSFL, this Is not run by either the SLFL or EoSFL. At the same time the Clubs are welcome to ask any questions on how the Pyramid works currently as the informal contacts suggested this would be useful. The sending of the Expression of Interest does not of course commit any Club to any particular course of action, but it would be very helpful if we could gauge as closely as possible the actual level of interest in the WoSFL. The next again step will be to invite Clubs to complete by Tuesday 31 March 2020 an Application to Join the WoSFL. Once again these will be treated in the strictest confidence. The process surrounding these applications will be announced by Friday 6 March 2020. This plan is to allow every Club at all grades in the SLFL area the opportunity to progress through the Pyramid. There will of course be issues such as geographical integrity to be considered with the introduction of a third Tier 6 League alongside the EoSFL and SoSFL. This and any other consequences will be addressed in a respectful, constructive and orderly way. Issued by – George Fraser [Chairperson SLFL] and John Greenhorn [Chairperson EoSFL] 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Pennel Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Definitely not his fault...but it doesn't leave much time for a club holding it's supporters meeting on the previous evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 So if you don't put in a note interest by March 1st, you won't be invited to apply? Doesn't make it sound like they're taking everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conspiracy theory here I think! I posted a while that I’d bought the domain, used the email to see if there was enough interest after the TJ “West aren’t interested” statement, the data was then passed to the LL and it’s went towards making this decision 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
