Sections 3 and 4 are now an 8 team group etc etc. This list was the original management proposal but Johnstone Burgh's amendment to it was voted through as a way of sharing around, within a slightly wider geographical region, the fixtures.

Slightly wider I'm totally baffled at why rob roy has been put in with st rochs petershill and Ashfield while shire are in with Kilsyth cumbernauld and I think gartcairn Not even close never mind slightly wider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it would appear that although the region knew that they withheld that information from the candidates for fixture Secretary.

So Kennie turns up, fixtures all prepared, hears this then has to bin the lot. Will be interesting to see if the usual Marymass debacle can be avoided this year.

Chis Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Details of ground sharing and also availability of certain grounds on certain dates/days were only intimated at last night's meeting, leaving the new Fixture Secretary no option but to take another look at his proposed fixture list allowing him to make any necessary alterations before issuing it. Surely this is better than issuing his original list and than having to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how you group the West Region teams, there will always be discrepancies. Our clubs don't all sit in neat wee pockets. Your original group was tighter but the Johnstone Burgh proposal widened the groups. Our group now instead of being in only with Arthurlie, the Bens and the Ants could now include Port Glasgow and Greenock in future years. Years ago they were in our sectional group anyway.

A draw placed them in 2 groups and that is what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our group (Kilsyth) has all teams relatively close although we would have liked the derby match v Rob Roy to be retained. Many years ago in its earlier format we had Duntocher Hibs and Vale of Leven in our group. Can't remember any moaning about excessive distance then.

griffiti on the wall Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 If we are going down that road then may aswell just have an open draw with all the club's rather than just randomly throwing in teams to make up the numbers Vale of clyde shettleston Rossvale Maryhill glasgow perthshire Ashfield petershill and st rochs that's your 8 teams for that part of the region it's not rocket science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to Kennie now to apply the rules which the clubs have voted for, which his predecessor simply refused to do. Hence him no longer doing the job.

Again I think this is sensible as the teams will then rotate home and away then back in the mix with a draw for the next two years - keeps it quite fresh and everyone gets an equal turn at their shops etc - my understanding is that the gates will be shared - which again makes sense Too much sense happening here - what about the pyram.......

thelangonline Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The whole revamp, in my opinion, hasn't made it any better. Our group before hand was a good group with all local derbies, EK, GLENS, BLANTYRE, VOC. That's all gine now. No local derby just devalues it and makes the games even more pre season friendlies than they already were. There are no matches where I can say, oh that's a mouth watering match. I totally get why they tried to revamp it but it's not done what I'd hoped it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point although some of the previous groups were not exaclt derbys in our case we had Bellshill, Thorniewood and Shettleston with Peasy (no idea how that came about) At least with the new set up 75% of teams will be finished in the League Cup Section allowing the league to start much earlier - As I had suggested we are never going to get an ideal scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
