Junior football, what is the future?

It doesn’t quite say that.
It says it could be passed at an SFA board meeting.
No, it says the leagues involved would have to pass it at board level after consulting member clubs ie any changes to the LL play-off needs unanimous agreement from each league. However it looks like they're nowhere near that stage.

This is all getting farcical,it’s all just grandstanding by both sides whilst clubs have no idea wtf is going on.

If there has been any grandstanding it has been by some Junior people falsely declaring tier 6 is a "done deal", see graphic on ERJFA website for an example, and the leaked email from October for another (which was circulated to all Junior clubs). Too many have again swallowed TJ's utterings as undisputable fact.

It's in at least one constitution that is online (don't have time to google it) that changes to the playoff to the SPFL have to be agreed by all the parties involved, so it's highly likely that what is being claimed where pro/rel between the LL and the EoS and SoS is concerned in this document is accurate and that the EoS do have an effective veto over ERSJFA entry at tier 6. Think it's also safe to assume that SJFA entry won't happen unless both the east and west regions are involved, so this whole saga appears to be going nowhere fast.

It’s not false if that’s what they’ve been told! That e mail from Maxwell was sent to the EoSL too.

They didn’t distribute it to their clubs.I wonder why?

Because it wasn't for distribution for the clubs. It was an update from the Professional Game Board to the Pyramid Working Group members. Knowing it was a misrepresentation of proceedings the EoS instead updated their members with what was actually happening.

EDIT:

Turns out the SFA email and the EoS board meeting happened on the same day. So just as Maxwell's email went out the EoS Board would of been clarifying points straight away.

No scaremongering, certain clubs have been discussing with each other the setting up of a senior WoS league outside the purview of the SJFA owing to the failures they see coming from the leadership of their governing body.
 
Which clubs ?

TJ knows what has or has not been agreed at these PWG meetings, that email wasn't the result of a PWG meeting. The EoS didn't distribute probably because they knew it wasnt accurate, and that has turned out to be exactly right.

Clarifying or spinning?

Do you think he does, really?

Worth noting that not all Clydebank fans are as skeptical as Kilbowie Benches about this latest information on where things stand with the PWG:

Also hearing the meeting was a stalemate and juniors now looking very unlikely for the pyramid next year. Looks like my lot might be going east after all! Someone should get their finger out with the LL2!

Were not in the Scottish Cup every year as we don't win the Junior Cup or league every year. Our supporters are very generous and our fund raising is second to none.

You first entered in 09/10 and this is your 7th season in the Scottish Cup out of 10  - ok so it's most, but not every year. :)

As you are so fond of telling people, its not for me to say on a public forum.

Don't just assume its going to be top flight sides.

I wasn't assuming anything, but from your hints of insider knowledge it suggests your own club are involved ?
