No it is not the poster I was referring to, I was referring to Hoss from Newton Stewart.

Regardless given the talk about geographical integrity in one of the early WoS related press releases that was issued by the LL, I suspect it's only Bonnyton that are likely to get in, if they do apply and that list probably does explain how there could be 52. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hate to think that it's still a case of a bitter Blackburn vs the rest divide at the Bathgate-Armadale-Whitburn-Fauldhouse end of the county. Absolutely no bitterness from anyone I know from all the West Lothian clubs. Still have good friends at all the clubs and total respect for everyone at all the clubs. Yes it would be great to be playing local rivals competitively but at the same time it's for each club to decide what they do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Mids don't cause much of a conflict in geographical integrity and are pretty close to all the Lanarkshire teams. Ultimately a merger between SoS and WoS could be a viable destination- provided there was regionalisation at the lowest tier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Agree it would be the logical destination but blazers don't easily give up their fiefdoms. 63 WRSJFA + Drumchapel United + Bonnyton Thistle? + Glasgow Uni? is the probable destination in the short term Edited March 29, 2020 by LongTimeLurker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked thru the turnstile next to the social club and it looks like Whitburn are putting an entrance or turnstile into and behind the "shed" on the Lomond Crescent side of the ground. All in all in the last few yrs at Central park theres been new changing rooms erected,new steel main gates with "Central Park 1934" on them also a 40 seater stand plus 2 new dugouts and now the new entrance/turnstile into the shed. Seems a lot of work being done just to stay where they are in the ERJFA!! There are pics on their Facebook page showing the enclosure has been completely refurbished inside. New slabbed paving over 5 or 6 steps. No longer a death trap, looks very good, a lot of work by the looks of it. https://m.facebook.com/groups/592277167510532?view=permalink&id=3708973362507548&anchor_composer=false 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just two days to escape such madness but little hope that any common sense will prevail. It will then be high time to leave matters be and hope that the “winds of change and common sense” start to blow in West Lothian in 12 months time. I wonder how future football historians will look back on this episode? Edited March 29, 2020 by Pyramidic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any other victims of the Mallo-melt’s red dots here? He red dotted about 60 of my posts in a row at one point and still does occasionally. My crime appeared to be posting a lot about the implications of option z as that was misunderstood (not just by him) as meaning I supported it. Think Bman fell into disfavour because he was perceived to be backing what was good for Blackburn rather than what was good for the pyramid where tier 7 EoS conferences for next season are concerned. Bottom line is that coloured dots are not something to lose any sleep over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
