There will probably be a fans meeting at some point to explain the changes in the pyramid. I doubt the board will need to explain why we won’t be joining a league at a tier further down the pyramid that is a poorer standard and costs the club a fortune in travel costs. And if the west region isn't in the pyramid for the 2019/20 season, what then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that’ll go down well. The board will do what’s best for the club,as always. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the poster I'm quoting is involved with Linlithgow Rose in an official capacity) The EoS are telling their members lies...now I know certain posters will be on here giving me stick about this post but when I am proved correct I would like a wee apology 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Journeyman Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 The EoS are telling their members lies...now I know certain posters will be on here giving me stick about this post but when I am proved correct I would like a wee apologyI think most acknowledge that the ERJFA have somehow managed to get in at Tier 6 but let's look at the bigger picture.1.Yes they may be tier 6 and it looks like 2x Super Leagues of 10 North and South.2. Both Super League winners plat off for title.3.Winner of playoff gain entry to Scottish Cup for season 2020/214.Winner of playoff plays the EOS winner.Here's the part that can't happen 4.If the Super League team beat EOS winner it's irrelevant unless the winner is South of the Tay and has a licence which I would think for majority of junior clubs are a fair bit away especially with the floodlights requirement.So Larry if your end game is for access to the Senior Scottish by winning a junior Super League with no thought of obtaining a licence then yes I agree you have pulled a masterstroke as long as you can win your league and playoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Journeyman Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I think it's ludicrous but going by information I have it looks like they will get in.Playoff will be interesting next year 4 teams for 1 slot.Will take 5 year minimum for stronger teams to filter into LL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been painstakingly explained on here for some time, it requires the agreement of all leagues and there is no such agreement. The PWG have not seen any plans, and even the ERJFA have no idea how their league will look like next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Journeyman Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 You just need to look at current structure of SPFL to know the current clubs are all self interestChampionship playoff is ludicrous and weighed heavily in favour of Premier League side too stay up. 4th placed Championship needs to go through 6 games Sat/Wed consecutively to get promoted .No relegation from league 2 again favouring bottom club who should automatically go down in my opinion but no they get a 2nd chance against a team who have had to win a championship and go through 4 play off games to make SPFLI do think the playoffs between League 1 up and down work well however 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SJFA are just going to turn up to the next PWG meeting with a tombola full of all the different Lowland League playoff and East Region Super League ideas. Whichever one they pull out wins, FACT! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not played any masterstroke. I do know where this will end up regarding licences etc. All I have repeatedly said is the ERFA & WRJFA are in at Tier 6 from season 2019-20 I think current Junior clubs are as far away as the EoS clubs simply because the Seniors have closed the door. Now a few clubs may get their licences from both associations and I say to them well done but the majority will not. As for winning leagues and playing in the Senior Scottish Cup, my club has done that and may do it again. Hopefully you have had the same pleasure as I have done. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it was what 16 of the 24 that have an application in? Even if they don't get a derogation for not having floodlights the majority will end up with a license. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
