If you mean "not owning their grounds, they are in no position to be choosers about the kind of league they drop into", then I disagree - for me, it doesn't matter who owns it, it matters that you have reliable access to it, hence my San Siro remark. If you didn't mean that, then I really don't see your intention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned four teams and asked whether they own their grounds. I replied that one does and another is owned by its supporters. I still don't know what it's got to do with this thread or discussion. I've really absolutely no idea what you're banging on about tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Don’t Queens Park own lesser Hampden where they’re moving to? They’ve only recently sold Hampden Park and Lesser Hampden isn’t ready so hardly fair to lump them in with teams like Clyde and Cowdenbeath who could be evicted at anytime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde can't be evicted "at any time". They have a lease until, I think, 2021. And don't Cowdenbeath own Central Park? Besides, none of this is relevant to licensing, the pyramid or anything else. Milan, Inter, Lazio and Roma don't own their grounds. Chelsea don't own their pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnie_man Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hearing that there could be more changes afoot in the ERJFA world as they try to hang onto clubs not happy at the amount of travelling involved in the Superleague. I think the bottom line with that is, the Tayside clubs need the WL clubs more than the WL clubs need Tayside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's to do with revamping their own set-up. Not sure how they can make it any different unless they went to a Tayside league of 18, and a Fife & Lothians league of 18, with a play-off. Anything else is just tinkering around the edges and still results in a top heavy Tayside Superleague. Somebody needs to bite the bullet and start talking merger/amalgamation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the good things about the March 31st application end date. Right now its the only thing giving all this uncertainty a deadline.

I was refering to this post over in the junior version of this thread Fair enough, I'm hearing there could be proposals to alter the format of the ERJFA next season leading to no Superleague which I can only presume means two large regions or three small ones playing-off for the title. Not sure ERJFA are at all interested in merger/amalgamation anyway, just self-preservation which will lead to no Pyramid access.If thats the plan then ERJFA have seemingly accepted tier 6 is off the cards or they want out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know they're not tier 6 next season and never were. This is probably more to do with stopping more clubs leaving who are a fed up with the travelling involved in the Superleague between Tayside and WL. As I said, Tayside clubs need the WL clubs more than the other way round. It's shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic kinda stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No agreement by then, then no change for 2019/20. I actually think it will be the catalyst for next year one way or the other. If no clubs sign up for the EoS from the East Region, then the Super Leagues at Tier 6 SJFA plan will try and get railroaded through with only a Lowland League 2 to stop it from happening. If x amount of East Region clubs sign up for the EoS, then the SJFA plan is truly done. Those North of the Tay have to accept staying Junior or becoming a Senior league feeding the Highland League. The West Region facing the same basic choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the juniors don't enter, I think the LL should push on with LL2. Invite clubs from the juniors, EOS & SOS with up to 8 places available to west clubs (including clubs in the SOS) & the remainder for east clubs (16 total). Should there be 10 or more west applicants, they can split it in a 16 team LL East & a LL West with 10-16 teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true there's not going to be any Junior leagues in the Pyramid next season, this is an open goal for the Lowland League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
