Junior football, what is the future?

I was having a look at the numbers of clubs beneath the SPFL, especially in light of the HL/LL boundary potentially moved to accomodate East Region clubs. Kept it to the 3 rough regions the leagues usually get divided up into:

Juniors preference:

Existing HL/LL boundary:

It's not all that different from what happened in England when the Southern and Isthmian Leagues wound up having overlapping catchments after the Isthmian league joined despite not being involved as a feeder initially when the Alliance Premier was formed. The good thing is that an all in pyramid finally appears to be happening. Hopefully the junior cup will be rejigged to be all in for tier 6 and below.

Can't wait for the farts in suits to have a meeting to decide what to call the competition, so as not to offend the sensitive.

Who else in the west is going with Clydebank?
Bar Clydebank its all a bit quiet on the western front. No club have made definitive noises. Only thing of substance was the survey that came out earlier in the year but that was before the exodus out east to the EOS.

If i'm remembering right the next PWG meeting is scheduled for 30th October. After the last one news filtered through over a plan for the West Premiership, East Super League, EoS and SoS all sitting at Tier 6, with a different belief that new WoS and Tayside leagues would be created.

EoSL is tier 6.
The EOS splits into regular divisions next season based on this seasons conference rankings. Clydebank would go into tier 7 or 8 depending where the EOS adds regional splits ie north/south. They might even forego these regional splits all together.

This obsession that we have to have the Junior cup for all non league. We have South Challenge cup for all teams non league which would be the for all the west aswell if they moved over.

Yes but they will have divisions at tier 7 due to the numbers involved.
If there is no WoSL next year i’d expect Bankies to move. Regardless it requires an egm and majority vote to cancel the agreement to move to the senior leagues.

If the West Juniors are in at tier 6 then the Junior tag will be in name only as they will have to adhere to all the same rules and regulations as the rest of the leagues at tier 6 of the pyramid.

Why would the club want to travel to the East every 2nd week to play at a lower level?  That would be utter madness.

Its not clear that they’d allow the juniors to be licensed. Id prefer to move for a variety of reasons. Theres not much difference between travelling east than there is travelling to deepest darkest Ayrshire. After all the sh1te we’ve put up with recently why would any Bankies fan want to stay junior, thats the real madness.

It will all become clear.At the moment nobody can get a license!

 

As of last night, the licensing embargo has been lifted. It will be interesting to see how many ex-juniors will be licensed in the near future.

If the licensing embargo is lifted and the Juniors are at tier 6 in the pyramid then why would anyone leave?

So you can look forward to this

Both clubs failed to properly consult the comprehensive list of player suspensions produced by the SFA and the eos league..... Let's not use two clubs making a James blunt of it to further a narrative about the eos........ Clubs at fault, not the league, the grade or the sfa.

There must be some sort of communication breakdown somewhere, I cant remember any team winning a trophy in the juniors without having to play a final ?

Both these clubs should know the rules as they will be similar to the juniors regards suspensions , and should know where to look ...shouldnt they ? , it also happened to Dundonald Bluebell .
