Arthurlie1981 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Difficulty is that Bankies fans voted to join the pyramid for next season coming and to do anything other than that would require an egm and vote of the fans to change direction, I intend to hold the club to this. Waiting yet another year when the best time to leave was last year isnt acceptable. I remember something coming out earlier this season that the manager was concerned about being competitive in the East as players weren’t happy about all the travelling. Is that still the case? Bankies are in a different position with regards to the fan base which doesn’t fluctuate that much no matter what league you are in but that last not the same for other clubs which is why the response won’t be high on the new league for next season. If they could get a Talbot or Pollok to agree to join the league then that could change things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 How far are Clydebank away from being licensed? I appreciate they're past the deadline but could they try to apply for the Lowland League spot vacated by Selkirk with a year's derogation? It's probably not "fair", but politically I think letting a West club into the LL would be a good move to shift even more power away from the SJFA. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The deadline for having a license on that was March 31st and it's not clear whether any extension was provided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as there's a queue of clubs waiting on the SFA getting back to them re: licencing, I would hazard a guess that any clubs not even involved in the process might face a 'we'll call you back' scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I think there will be further resistance to joining, it'll probably happen in one form of another at the end of next season. It would be counter productive to move East now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its annoying that there has been a lack of information provided to fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you'd get majority support to jump to tier 7 East when no-one would know how it'd work either logistically or financially . Its cutting one's nose off big style. That said im getting rather sick of the delays which look increasingly like one man digging his heels in. Theres no realistic argument for East Juniors at tier 6 and the Tay isnt going to just dry up overnight. You need some point to differentiate North and South and thats as good as any. In lieu of anything that we dont yet know about having been arranged then I think giving it one more year and requiring absolute movement and agreement by Christmas is looking the only real option. If not forthcoming then a breakaway league must be expected and worked towards. That must be supported explicitly by the SFA as its possibly the only way the impasse would be negotiated by that stage if the parties are still fannying about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hague Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 If the east doesn't work logistically or financially why did the board have a vote to join it last year? and surely they must have another vote to overturn the one we had last year the board cannot take that decision themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however think there should be another meeting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Clydebank should now be leading the drive towards a new WoSFL, it's time the clubs in the West took matters into their own hands. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyro Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Do you think it’s something BSC, EK Thistle and Edusport might support? Although in the LL just now, would having them affiliated with the new league, along with Clydebank, persuade others to follow suit? Or even just disrupt things enough that SOMETHING will happen!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do West clubs still want to be involved in the Pyramid? I'm going to guess the answer is some are, some aren't. Maybe both should be catered for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclear, apparently hearing most will take it if its laid on a plate but wouldnt be upset either way, thus no one challenging TJ’s absolute farcical handling of negotiations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broomhill Ultra Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Need to go for it if at all possible. I would hope the idea of working towards regular Scottish cup entry then being within x number of promotions away from Dumbarton - Airdrie - Morton - the Jags - the OF would surely help to raise interest in the town and crowds would rise as a result? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
