They're probably the club in the "safest" place of the Juniors. Regardless of what they choose, they'll be playing in a League next season - Tayside or EoS Conference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the rambler Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If the Sjfa is ultimately wound up what happens to remaining assets c. £500k from memory. I didn't notice anything in the Constitution referring to dissolution. Maybe need a motion for next AGM to distribute to member Clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Who's TAJ? Is it Tom Johnston? Just that most refer to him as TJ. Ayatollah Arse?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except they're not a true representative of West Premiership clubs. Not only did they run away with the first West Premiership title. According to Wikipedia they were the clear number one during the Superleague era. Top 4 finish 14/16 seasons. Over a 100 points more than the 2nd place team. Only Hurlford's 5 stint comes close to PPG accrual. And there's another half dozen teams in there who would rack up a cricket score in conferences with current West League One and Two teams. No need, just use the current standings as a basis for linear leagues if there are more than 16 West juniors applying for the WoS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked this a while back and the consensus was it gets split amongst member clubs. Could explain why some in the East are sticking around 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its wound up its only fair that money is used to pay off the staff and split amongst the clubs who didnt vote to leave the sjfa etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the story with Newburgh and Lochore? Surely to follow now? It's funny to see a few statements refer to the ERSJFA meeting. The Fife clubs all take it as a hint to leave, the Lothians to stay...? Are they glad to be getting a wee local league all to themselves with no travel over the devilish Queensferry Crossing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesel1994 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 They can't just add in the all in or none in part after the vote has taken place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Irvine Meadow spent heavily to ge their three titles there was a lot of resentment, and catcalling of Talbot from their fans who accused us of being "only a cup team" because we couldn't win the Super League, having had only the one success in 2006. This League is an old one though as it doesn't include last season's win. These things are cyclical, but because we've had five recent successes we are now too good for the existing grade? We've only won one more title in the current run than Pollok did in their heyday and there were no calls then saying similar about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because in 2006 there was no LL or route into the SPFL. Now there is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
