grazza Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The juniors not long ago changed from regionalised below championship with Ayrshire league and 2 central divisions. Was the main reason for going with 4 tiers due to central teams unhappy about potentially being a further tier below than the weakest Ayrshire teams? Was it to facilitate more competitive divisions and teams finding their level more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the East had 3 but now a premier and 2 conference below that but looking at tables on wiki no plan to change it next year whether 3 tiers or regionalise below top of east. The latest LL/EoS/SoS/WJFA statement did say The one season only point has been said in some of the other statements. I don't think anyone can say accurately at this point what that actually means. Certainly the all Conferences at Tier 6 will be a single season solution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 When do we expect the rump of the juniors and the sjfa to actually endorse the rogue west plan to stay in the junior cup.The silence from TJ , the east and the north is astonishing as the west juggarnaut gathers pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If just ONE club over and above the 63 Juniors and Drumchapel apply, eg Bonnyton, they might need to go for 5 conferences. That would neatly fit actually, 5×13, 24 games just like the East conferences, and doable in a shortened season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silence from TJ , the east and the north is astonishing as the west juggarnaut gathers pace. The North have contacted their members asking what they think about finishing the season and the cup/SJFA changes. Quote 1. what should happen with this season as the likelihood, under the current circumstances, of any football before June will be very very slim which then means the season would continue possibly through past the start of next season unless teams were asked to play at least 3 times a week. A couple of suggestions are null and void or places based on average points system which would allow promotion/relegation. 2. The West Junior Clubs want to form a West of Scotland League which would mean leaving the Juniors and forming a new association, however they still want to be affiliated to the Juniors so they can take part in the Scottish Junior Cup with the proviso that the West of Scotland League Fixtures take precedent. They also want no replays, which the North Region has previously recommended but were rejected by the West at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs dealt with by the moderators or some help. Guy can’t help himself and the funny thing is he actually report posters to moderators himself, rather than take hints from those who highlight his issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it to facilitate more competitive divisions and teams finding their level more? It was , at least partly , due to the Ayrshire League having dropped to 11 teams, ie only 10 home games, that season. The statement at the time also mentioned new motorway connections, eg M77, as making the traditional Ayrshire/Central split no longer necessary. I quite clearly remember reading the statement at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Plus Shotts Bon Accord (Source: NLS) so now 38 with 12 from the Premiership and also from the Championship. 37 out of 63 West Juniors clubs - almost 60%, with eight days to go to the 7th April deal-line. 26 West Juniors plans not yet known. Anyone know of further announcements likely today/tomorrow? Pyramidic? I'll do an up-dated list at the end of this evening.

Was it to facilitate more competitive divisions and teams finding their level more? The principal reason for the restructuring was to create larger divisions so that clubs had a greater number of guaranteed home fixtures. Most worryingly, the Ayrshire division had been reduced to 11 clubs , giving only 10 home fixtures, which was not providing enough income to survive on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
