They haven't so that's that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 All I am suggesting is that all clubs which are not currently west Juniors need to be fitted in appropriately. Not saying how this should be done.It’ll be conferences the first season as it’s the only fair way to do it. Everyone would be members of a new league their league history as a Junior or Amateur will be irrelevant. After the first season divisions will be formed and clubs will be free to vote on changes exactly as happens in the EOSFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the impression that those in the SJFA don't actually know the structures within the pyramid. A host of teams joining the Lowland League? Only two ex junior sides have joined the LL, Kelty and Bonnyrigg, and both of them progressed to the LL via the EOSFL. This isn't really about the LL at Tier 5, it's about a WOSFL at Tier 6/7/8 with an opportunity to progress to Tier 5. More disinformation I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want this to be a Junior league "preserving history" or some other bollocks. If you want access to the Pyramid then you'll need to join the SJFA at the bottom. It is not an inclusive approach, contrast it with the LL plan. That alone should see this booted well into touch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Glasgow Uni & Bonnytoun get slotted in to Tier 6 for next season, finish bottom and then... are ejected from the system entirely?

I'm guessing at that point they'd need to apply to join the SJFA. Although as I said, I don't think they will be encouraging these clubs to get involved. It's not an open and inclusive approach to Pyramid football in the west. Junior league for Junior clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 There is nothing wrong in having regional bodies administering leagues within a pyramid. It is already in place in the Highlands and EoS. It is widespread in England with National leagues, Regional leagues and County FAs all doing their bit. However, what binds them together are common goals of allowing clubs to progress and attracting new clubs. That requires commonality and agreements between leagues about promotion, relegation, discipline, match calendars, facilities, licensing etc. The SJFA has shown itself to have parochial and insular view of themselves and their perceived value to the wider game across the country. That was echoed by some of the alleged comments at last night's WRJFA meeting. There should be nothing to prevent the WRJFA running leagues within the pyramid, but they have to accept that they have to adapt to what rules and structures are in place, and work well, for clubs already within the pyramid. They have acted like a bull in a china shop, as if they are the top dogs in non SPFL football, demanding that everyone else accedes to their demands. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays dumb then it makes it look like there is missing information. It's what we have seen repeatedly on here from the folk getting Ian Durrant'd onto this thread to "ask questions" (the Killipiyos and LongTimeLurkers of this world). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I see on twitter Gordon Ronney has been overwhelmed by the support from the WJFA. Both last night and this morning. It's only Twitter but I find it funny the only club account to like the tweet so far is...lochee united 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
