Well that means you're a national champion - and not a regional one like in the juniors. Although, there is still somewhere to go as you can try to win the continental championship (Champions League) and after that try to claim the Club World Cup and become the best in the world.

It could end up being something along the lines of the old West Region set up with bigger league sizes. 2x Region wide, 2x Central District, now 2x Ayrshire District/SoS. As for wanting to play region wide i'm sure the likes of Dalbeattie Star, Threave Rovers and Bonnyton Thistle would want to be a part of a fluid system. Pre-Lowland Dalbeattie and Threave ran teams in the EoS because it was a better standard, then they would both be founding members of the Lowland League. Dalbeattie are still a Lowland League side. While Threave get knocked for accepting relegation, they did it with the plan to rebuild and get back with a team capable of competing. As for Bonnyton i'm not sure why else they signed up if they didn't want to get as high as they could go. Bonnyton signed up to provide the complete pathway from boys club to senior. It'll be interesting to see whether they want to join a West league now that there appears to be one on the way, and if so would they be admitted straight into the top league given they are already a tier 6 club? They wouldn’t be there long, they’re not good enough for the bottom league in the West. There are better amateur teams out there and most players are not junior class.

Their results in the South Challenge Cup have been 1-3 v BSC Glasgow and 2-3 v Preston Athletic in the last two seasons - not West Premiership class but surely better than League Two? I think if the South of Scotland League is to be connected to the west setup it needs to be further down the pyramid and the SOS winners should play off against a west team so that there is a comparison of quality before gaining promotion.

Probably league 1. They probably are better than league 2. No higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if the current West juniors go across "as is" I'd imagine anyone looking to switch leagues to there would probably join at the bottom a la Montrose Roselea switching to the North. With all due respect and after having seen them play a few times, if Bonnyton were dropped into the current West top league it would be a turkey shoot unless they made a huge investment in the playing staff.

Sorry, Could you confirm who can’t fulfil their fixture and why. I made a similar comment when Selkirk folded and got little comment.

GNU_Linux Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Its important to consider this season is a bit of an anomoly because of its transitional nature with accomodating all the move overs. Neither side have scratched before & their situations wouldn't compare to Selkirk which in large part was a club being financially wreckless. Obviously clubs being unable to fufil fixtures is never a good thing. I expect the cases to be one offs & the clubs will find themselves placed at a more suitable sub-regional level come next season. Also its not like clubs scratching never happens in the juniors. Coupar Angus did so in this seasons junior cup as did Saltcoats last season.

Just read some of these comments re Bonnyton Thistle, some fair & some unreasonable imo Just some facts for you to consider lads: Team is only in its second season (and doing okay) All players are on Ammie Contracts, in fact they were paying monthly subs last season Club has just invested in new clubhouse/changing rooms/treatment room Majority of team have come through their youth system & they also have a successful U20s, they also regularly involve Youth players in senior squad ..... U17s GK was used recently One of their current players was approached by a senior club end last season to sign but chose to stay & one of the main reasons was due to the high caliber coaching he was receiving Again in my opinion I think they have what I have seen a good future and what appears to be a very determined & well focussed committee & coaching staff From what I have seen this squad can certainly give a few Junior teams a good challenge, so I wouldn’t be quick to write them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossgates had their issues and had to withdraw halfway through a season not so long ago (and are recovering well in the EoS), Steelend Vics & Ballingry folded, Forfar West End had to withdraw from the Superleague. All leagues have weaker clubs who sometimes struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
