Does that mean the WRJFA, ERJFA and NRJFA are also sacrosanct? Or can they be ditched? Mr Ronney is not very clear on this issue. Can anyone help please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beenzon-Toste Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Are you proposing to wind up the WRJFA? What is the position of the SJFA if clubs like Clydebank and Kilwinning decide to ditch their SJFA membership?Q1 I'm not proposing anything. The LL is proposing that.Q2 Wave them goodbye and wish them well for their future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the LL can agree to this plan without GR already having the mandate of these constitutional changes agreed is a question that probably has to be asked tonight, and I'm certain it will. The discussion/explanation will probably be something like this, - accept the changes required or accept the fact that the SJFA will fall by the wayside. Keep the West clubs together and the SJFA can survive. Lose the West clubs and it won't. And finally the veil slips fully off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beenzon-Toste Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 A lot has been said about clubs that don't want to join the Pyramid. Can anyone let us know who those clubs are? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Singh Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Ardenvohr6 said: As well as the Donald Dewar Centre, Drumchapel United also have a ground at Halgreen Avenue that is already enclosed and with a bit of ground around it that would allow extension to facilitate changing and spectators. I spent some time working with an amateur team about 11 years ago and we played them at Halgreen in a Cup tie. Just had a look of Google maps, that pitch has a lot of room around it for development. Could be turned into a nice little home ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a new world, with new setups so why should they be allowed to continue having their cake and eating it. Senior is the only way ahead, if they choose to remain in the rump West with the kool-aid drinkers then they shouldnt be anywhere near the real Scottish Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 SJFA is done. People are clearly only interested in their own position instead of the good of the game.Not sure that’s true, the SJFA will exist as long as clubs want to stay Junior (see West Lothian) but it’ll be much weaker after the summer. The meeting will be interesting as the LL seem to hold all the cards and the WRJFA appear to me to be going with a list of demands. The big issue is the LL said recently they don’t want any SJFA involvement and they’ve now almost certainly got enough clubs willing to join their WOSFL so it’s going to take some serious sweet talking from the WRJFA and probably some major compromise to get their idea backed or the LL can just start their league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q2 Wave them goodbye and wish them well for their future. Thanks for the response. I think the clear interpretation must therefore be that the WRJFA will remain effective. This in my view does not bode well for the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 So this is about the sjfa surviving then? This isnt about what's best for wrsjfa clubs who want to join and the clubs already playing in the pyramid? This us about people keeping their jobs in an sjfa that wants to further its interests within the pyramid? This confirms my fears from day one, if true, and hopefully the LL go with their own league. This means that those clubs who want to join apply and those that dont want to be a pyramid team and may resent being made to (which may cause issues later down the line) stay junior. Also how can the sjfa allow the wrsjfa to speak on behalf of the ersjfa clubs and nrsjfa clubs who are equal members of the association, whilst using the national trophy as a bargaining tool? Beenze, any answers to my post above from your point of view? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
