Current SJFA membership 133. Estimates for SJFA membership as of the beginning of the 2020-21 season, less than 6 months away. I'll go for 93. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirktv Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Can’t see that working nothing in the sjfa constitution stops you resigning as a member or giving notice. They tired this bully boy tactic in the east and got told to F off. I kept the email I was sent! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is with bitter disappointment that we report our proposals have been rejected. We see the WJFA structure as a perfect bespoke solution to meet the Lowland League plans for the creation of a West of Scotland League which would fill the Pyramid void in the geographical West of the country. We have other options at our disposal and will implement these from today. We would advise all clubs that at this time they should keep their options open with regard to “Expressions of Interest”, this in no way has to be regarded as “raising the white flag”, far from it. It is to safe guard our member clubs in their desire to join the pyramid. It would be remiss of the West Junior F.A. not to advise on the foregoing. We can assure all member clubs that our resolve remains steadfast and that all that can be done will be done to ensure “no one is left behind”. It may be that the determination outcome lies outside the football authorities jurisdiction. A step we will consider if required to do so. How is it even possible to reach a mutually beneficial solution, when the LL don't want the SJFA involved? How can the WRJFA structure be a "perfect bespoke solution" when the LL are inviting applications from all clubs in the west? Where would Glasgow Uni or Threave fit in the WRJFA structure? At least it's finally revealed what the SJFA's reserves are for - a nice trip to Switzerland so TAJ can present his case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vague, jarring grammar, lack of detailed examples to back up assertions, delaying releasing information which member clubs need to know immediately, no proper transparency, unspecific threats. The Juniors administration don't deserve to be taken seriously anymore. Edited February 28, 2020 by Cameron Wilson 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born To Run Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I’m amused by the idea of legal action to stop a WoS forming. There is absolutely no legal basis for such an action. The Lowland couldn’t tell the SJFA not to proceed with the changes in the West Region a year or two back? If the contention is “poaching” of member clubs, then both the Lowland and EoS saw that possible issue coming a mile off. Look at the wording of all statements thus far - the ball is completely in the court of individual clubs. I might revise my 20-30 estimate of West Region clubs to move in the wake of this. Suspect it might be more now... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
