I’d agree with that. They’ll be applying to EoS at the first opportunity. At least the other three, coming under the name of the Senior teams, means they’re in the Juniors in perpetuity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolutely awful decision to regionalise. The north super league looks half decent, but the rest just looks awful and unattractive. With a net gain of 2 clubs, it would make far more sense to just keep the same format, but with 14 teams in the Superleague. Relegate the bottom 2 & promote the top 2 of each of the 2 premier leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would do it if they felt it compromised the place in the Cup. However, the SFA were supposedly not happy with the EoS 3x Conference system this year. It's something that might slip under the SFA radar so that the 2019-20 overall champion gets in, but then have to be looked at afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish Cup is going to need re-formatted somewhat for 2020-21 though. Who knows what effect that could have on things. There was already a past proposal to remove the Junior entries. It could be raised again. Maybe just have the Junior Cup winner enter alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember the SFA making any mention of the 3 conferences because they knew it was a transitional season but they did make it clear if the East was to get into the pyramid it would have to be one League 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) ...with 16 clubs, which is awkward for the ERSJFA in numbers terms. It has been claimed that 8 from the north and 8 from the south will form the ERSJFA's tier 6 league if pyramid entry happens in 2020-21. I doubt they would be splitting in the first place if they really expect that to happen, which calls into question the SJFA's end game on the pyramid. Officially they are still negotiating entry as an intact association but are the blazers involved actually serious about it when neither the east or the north regions seem to actually want it? At some point something's got to give and there is likely to be some sort of breakaway in the west.

Quite a swing for the South from the original proposal when they would have a 9 team Super League. Now they get a nice even 10-10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
