theesel1994 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 With our manager Stewart Maxwell backing the clubs move to a proposed West Of Scotland 6th tier league. Rob Roy’s new park on the horizon The potential of Senior Scottish cup Under 20s development league Get to the lowland league And maybe one day the dizzy heights of senior football? Great for our community? Yes/No Opinions please The other clubs have more or less said if the (West) Juniors can get access to the Pyramid then they'd stay. Darvel and Rob Roy seem to think this is unlikely and have no mention of the Juniors. It's now about three weeks since the PWG talks broke down and there's been no public statement from the WRSJFA or SJFA other than talks are ongoing. I can see there being under 100 clubs in the Junior Cup next season. When was the last time that happened? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I haven't seen anything at all from Darvel other than John Gall liking other clubs' tweets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked your post because I thought it was right but when I checked back no its not, the poster stated the following; # The future of junior football thread has been good so far, but I’ve not enough time to catch up. Can someone pop a list of any teams they know who’ve committed or hinted towards the pyramid here. Any regions: West/East/North# but that's not asking who is leaving , its just asking who has committed or hinted, which to be honest, the big list is true as most have hinted towards the pyramid. I have added the ones who we all know who have confirmed that they are leaving or intention of leaving and I've only done so form the information from the official websites. 12 minutes ago, Bestsinceslicebread said: So Officially 100% its the following; West: Kilwinning Rangers, Clydebank, East: Kirkcaldy & Dysart, Thornton hibs The rest have made enquiries about moving, I would expect there are many who have made enquiries about moving, even clubs with no intention of moving but put in a note of interest.

LongTimeLurker Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) The yardstick I used was a statement or strong hint about a non-binding expression of interest through the official website, twitter or facebook. The number arrived at is one short of the total of 9 plus possibly Kilbirnie (Glengarnock?) confirmed by parkcircus as providing expressions of interests from the top tier in the west when the wosfl.co.uk email address was the point of contact rather than George Fraser of the LL.

I get that and not disagreeing with you so that's why I posted the teams who have stated they are leaving this year and the bigger list of 9 teams or so is correct with hinted interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Can see how that could be interpreted as a potential expression of interest. By my reckoning the following top tier west clubs have posted something noteworthy on this. Kilwinning, Clydebank, Glencairn, Rossvale, Rob Roy, Largs, Irvine Meadow, Glenafton So there's at least one more mystery club that entered the fray before George Fraser became the point of contact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 FFS...it was a wee joke. He obviously meant Glenafton Athletic. It was only a typo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 That's a wee bit more than a typo but if that's the case there were at least two mystery expressions of interest when Kilwinning Rangers were the ones handling those and more could have been received by George Fraser since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
