Well speaking as someone who has been watching junior football since 1980 (more regularly since 1994) then that is clearly a load of rubbish. :lol:

Same year as I saw my first game of Junior football and I hate it that much I have been watching it ever since.............

I support a football club and not a "grade" and never have. Many Junior people can't get their head around that, it's bizarre.

Is there actually anyone anywhere who considers themselves as the supporter of a grade of football rather than a football club? I've literally never heard of such a concept outside this forum.

Did anyone chuck supporting East Stirlingshire when they dropped out the league claiming they only support SPFL football?

Likewise, are any Cove fans currently flinging their toys out the pram because their team has gone the other way and they want to remain thought of as Good Highland League Men?

Other than a small group of fanatics, most people don't care about the "grade" and just want to watch football. I've enjoyed 2 great days out at junior cup finals last weekend and I've been to a number of other good junior games during the season. Yet I've also had a good time at plenty of senior non-league games (mainly EOS but a few others too). In the end it's just the game I love and I love the lower levels of the game where it's not over-commercialised and you see lots of strong community clubs run by hard working volunteers. Whether those clubs carry the label "junior" or "senior" is completely irrelevant to me.

Same here - the last two weekends I've been at Linlithgow for the King Cup final and Irvine for the West. Oh, and on Sunday I went to an amateur league decider. None was intrinsically more valid than the other two by dint of what grade they were partaking in...just three games of football.

Football at all levels has varying issues that require to be addressed and the Junior game is no exception, hence why I find the idea of safe-spacing The Grade by retreating to an online forum where no reasonable challenge to the current paradigm will be tolerated and echo chamber orthodoxy will be the only voices allowed so ludicrous.

Where are Bo'ness United Juniors playing their games until Newtown Park is ready?

If I remember it right. Linlithgow Rose Juniors are using the old ground that Bo'ness United Juniors used as an amateur in Linlithgow. I guess the two could groundshare until Newtown Park is ready.

Where have Syngenta ended up playing?

Also seemingly Linlithgow CSC aren't allowed to host Junior Cup games at their Xcite Linlithgow ground. No clue as to what the reasons are however.

Whats different between a Junior cup tie and any other game? The Utopia but the Junior cup
