Junior football, what is the future?

Recommended Posts



Entry criteria for next season has appeared on EOSL website (link is Word doc).

https://www.eosfl.com/downloads/eosfl/EoSFL-Entry-Criteria-2018.docx


No surprises - basically an enclosed ground with railed pitch, and adequate dressing rooms in a pavilion.

Toilets for spectators, signage and basic first aid/medical provision all mandatory.


EOS applications now open. March 31st deadline with a grace period after this which the EOS can use like they did last season.

Their last appearance was 10 years ago, Armadale never.

Meanwhile, those in the EoS are working to be in it every year. Inspired indeed.

  Winning the league or the Scottish Junior Cup is not the only route for Junior clubs now. All Junior clubs can apply to be licensed you do not require to be an EoS club to apply.  It was maybe 10 years ago when we played in the Scottish but we earned the right to do that.

That is entirely incorrect.  As it stands Junior clubs are not part of the Pyramid, cannot apply to be SFA members and therefore cannot be Licenced.

You seem to operate in a different world from everone else.

Lochee are North of the Tay so would be interesting to see which league they'd be told to join to show "commitment to the pyramid" - as it stands they would need the Highland League to open themselves up to application and no one has tested this yet to my knowledge.

The route to being licenced for Junior clubs has always been there nothing has changed apart from once awarded a club had to move to the EoS. Despite what you say the Juniors  ERJFA & WRJFA are in Tier 6 from season 2019-20. The Juniors will adopt the SFA disciple code from that point as well. We are in and there is nothing you can do about it.  Maybe ask the Scottish about our application. I have also heard that other Junior clubs have applied.

So actually nothing has changed, Junior clubs needs to join the Pyramid to become Licenced.  No Junior league is in the Pyramid (and there is no agreement, hence why your email from Maxwell has not seen the light of day)

Burnie, you know the truth and you know dam well the email from Maxwell has seen the light of day. You just do not want to accept it due to your hatred of TJ and Junior football.

So the Juniors will be in the senior pyramid, accepting Senior disciplinary and a senior mandated fixture window. All Junior clubs WILL be Seniors next season, you accept that this season is the end of the Junior game?

The claim that the sjfa are in for next season falls on its face as minutes for an EOS league meeting AFTER the October PWG meeting show that no agreement has been reached & indeed the EOS were holding firm on both the Tayside issue & another league in its territory

The Juniors are adopting the disciplinary code but will continue to administer their own fixture lists. Please read the email.

I do, the truth is there is no agreement and the PWG continue to talk, and the EoS continue to re-iterate that they are tier 6 in the East and that the boundary has not changed therefore no Tayside club can currently join a LL feeder.  That's the truth of it, and if there was an agreement then the SFA/Maxwell would be shouting it from the rooftops, but your email with a draft announcement has never seen the light of day, what does that tell you?  Now we have LL2 and SPFL3 to contend with.

But we've been over this before.

Fixture lists are done by regional leagues anyway and what name they choose to give themselves is surely neither here nor there.

That is no draft announcement. I will accept your apology whren you discover the EoS are not being truthful
