That's not at all accurate from what I have seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to look for the posts on the topic is becoming harder and harder. Not if you consider it part of the topic. You're talking about 5 clubs that 2 years ago were still playing Junior football. Within the space of about 20 months have been able to gain a licence even after floodlights became a requirement. Then there have been 9 that were able to do it in a single year (Kelty, Blackburn, Bonnyrigg, Broxburn, Dundonald, Easthouses, Hill of Beath, Jeanfield, and Penicuik). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jeek Posted February 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2020 With all these new licenses, the real winners are the toilet block manufacturers. They must be rolling in it, well played lads. 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no surprise that clubs that moved across went and got licensed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having listened to the Voice of the Juniors podcast and seen plenty of tweets from people still in the Junior game, i'm sure there were plenty of people surprised these clubs got licenced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghBlue Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Talbot will have their licence this time next year, as will other West teams. So Talbot definitely applying to join the WoSL then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One typo you might want to fix - you call Gordon Ronney 'Ronnie' at one stage. I noticed that too, but thought he might have been referring to someone else, not being au fait with too many high heid yins in the non league sphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 People would be surprised at just how much misinformation is swilling around the Junior game about the Pyramid and Licencing.I heard of one recent instance where a committee member had copied the infamous Gordon Parks article and passed it around the meeting as evidence of why they should remain Junior...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
