If theres an agreement the WOSL doesnt happen and the current west premiership is tier 6 (assuming no LL2 or SPFL3 the latter of which is very unlikely to happen). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they need to do is have a fixture list and go to sfa disciplinary rules in other words won't be in junior other than a name so don't get the point just get over as wosfl and call it a reboot whether there's sjfa or west region people invloved fine. Just get over and make Scottish football respectable instead of chaos. Lothian clubs join eosfl. Fife and tayside can have own league basically ersjfa to join lowland league if that's what sfa decides if they've to go if not rest of fifeatures should join us and Tayside have a league going to highland league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're junior it doesn't matter what's "above" them - they're not in the pyramid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Why do Dundee team’s need to go to Highland League?The EOS & LL are both on record as the mouth of the Tay being the dividing line. Moving Tayside clubs north also helps the lopsideness if Tayside was LL and means more SPFL clubs can come down to HL which makes things easier. If Tayside was LL then the HL would have only 5 SPFL clubs within its territory (Aberdeen, Elgin, Peterhead, Inverness & Ross County). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 1 hr 15 mins from Dundee and about 2 and half hours from Inverness the same as they would be to gretna Dalbeattie etc so this that the trabelling too far for highland is nonsense it's almost the same 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Have the Dundee clubs been asked what they think about it?Who cares? They want to run a team in the North of Scotland then they play in the area designated for the North of Scotland clubs. If anything its better for the integrity of the pyramid if Tayside teams go as currently you have parity between HL and LL despite the proportion of clubs being weighted far more heavily to the LL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenconner Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Didn’t it say a while back on here the idea was the East of Scotland Juniors would be at the same level as the East of Scotland league and the two top teams from each would have a playoff and then play the winners of the South of Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has backed up your version of events although I quite believe it will be the case although it wouldnt surprise me if some of the non Tayside clubs move across 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point in the armadale bathgate pumpherstons of this world gain by staying as they are and not wanting promotion to a league full of Tayside clubs or north fife.

GNU_Linux Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 One part of Scotland getting two shots at a promotion spot when everyone else gets one. Yep totally fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghBlue Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 If the proposal ever gets to a formal stage it'll be voted down by SPFL members. The SPFL3 idea however is awful I agree.The same SPFL members that rejected the daft idea of Irish, Welsh etc teams in the Challenge Cup? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see say the OF seeing benifit in having their colts up against the likes of Ardeer or Newmains et al. The only example of colts/reserves I know of in junior football was Spartan reserves who ran for a few seasons a few years ago. There is precedent for reserve teams in lower leagues - Stranraer and Annan reserves play in the South of Scotland league. I suspect however this is a historical geographical quirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
