Anyone else heard this ? Either way, rumours can be very misleading, especially at present when the wind of change is blowing strongly. I'm sure there must be some discussions going on, not necessarily attributed to those clubs not participating. Just would makes considering the EoSFL seeking additional promotion spots to the Lowland League and offering support with setting up a WoSFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking ahead though, do South clubs want to be part of the suggested WoSL for 2019/20, and at what level ? The SJFA apparently wants a 'shoe in' for the West Super League, at tier 6 level, and does not appear to have considered any SoSFL clubs being included. We await the views of the Pyramid Working Group regarding this proposed feeder league, and the remainder of the pyramid. With this in mind........ (1) should the SoSFL remain as an independent senior league @ tier 6 of the pyramid ? Alternatively would its clubs settle for either : (2) tier 7 in the new WoSL, if/when it is set up ? or (3) realignment at tier 7 under the umbrella of the EoSL league ? Also, are Wigtown returning for 2018/19 ? Edited May 13, 2018 by Robert James 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest ie manager coaches, physio and admin are if not easier certainly less expensive. Bonnyton still has a fair bit to go as do Mids. The rest are still a long and expensive step away IMO. Final issue is practicality and desire. Any idea when the SoSFL AGM is being held ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigtown are the only club mentioned so far as joining for the 2018-19 season. Bonnyton and the inclusion of the reserve sides popped out of nowhere last year so there might be another surprise. Although with the league reaching 16 if they don't lose any clubs this year, they might not be looking for anyone. AGM is at the end of the month I believe. The BSC email brought up a WoSFL at tier 6 along the SoS/EoS. BSC seem to have left the public discussion on the WoSFL. Instead Clydebank and Kilwinning have become the public face of it. Clydebank having investigated all their options and opted for a deferred application to the EoS, but in their statement announcing the decision they said that a West of Scotland league would be their preferred option. Kilwinning chairman interviewed in the Sunday Mail today as part of it he reckons if a EoS equivalent existed in the West, a dozen clubs could join from the Juniors mirroring the moves we've seen to the EoS this year. You'd like to think that the Kilwinning chairman is pretty clued in to the feelings in the West Regions. If 12 plays out as correct it's probably not enough to be an equal tier 6 league, so trying to add the best of the SoS makes sense. Especially as it'd leave the SoS with enough clubs to run as a decent feeder league below. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardyman Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Made the short trip to watch Heston vs Wigtown last night . I was impressed the home side were unlucky but Wigtown looked comfortable especially for a Wednesday night having to make the long trek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sureiknow Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I believe the Wigtown Northern Ireland supporters club were there on Saturday. I couldn't get a seat on the bus. Must have been good Craic lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen any recent updates on their website, but I may have missed an announcement ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
