That leaves the south section with a maximum of thirteen clubs and arguably as few as four West Lothian/Stirlingshire/Clackmannanshire defections away from being untenable moving forward even as a single division. Anyone fancy forming a side with me? We play in my back garden and prefer shooting into the shed end. Colours are whatever combination of tops you turn up with. £50 fine for destruction of plants and away team needs to supply this ball cos the neighbour won’t give me mine back. Think we’ve got a good chance of playing in the south division next year. If I need to sway a couple of votes I’m happy to promise visiting committee free pies and play a recording of me shouting mon the juniors on repeat throughout the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 They let in a team who failed their own ground standards last season so to be honest I fancy your chances! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The links t the official pages are here that state about moving https://www.kirkcaldyymfc.co.uk/ https://www.thorntonhibs.com/news/club-announcement-2513853.html https://www.clydebankfc.com/club-statement-pyramid-2/ I cant, so far find anything official that Kilwinning are going but other than officially expressed and interest, similar to Clydebank's view So officially we have West: Kilwinning Rangers, Clydebank, East: Kirkcaldy & Dysart, Thornton Hibs & Kennoway Star Hearts with many others from the West and East making a note of interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Nobody can be official on deciding to leave in the west until after the LL announces the details on what is happening on or before March 6th. After that we'll probably start to see some announcements similar to the three in the east. Worth bearing in mind also though that many of the moves to the EoS from the ERSJFA over the past two years have flown completely under the radar until the EoS have announced they were accepted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aint gossip, just what was said to me this week. Spoke to one West region team's chairman who says they won't be making a statement either way but said they definitely wont be left behind if other teams leave. I get the impression that you wont find any West team state they are leaving officially until the meeting after, the 31st of march and that time the teams who are intending to leave will be confirmed. that's what I take from it So officially we have West: none officially leaving but many put a note of interest in. East: Kirkcaldy & Dysart, Thornton Hibs, Kennoway Star Hearts and Rosyth with many others from the West and East making a note of interest.

Exactly. Not one club has come out and said they're definitely staying and backing the Junior FA's stance. Almost all the clubs that have said anything publicly it's they'll stay if the Juniors can negotiate a way otherwise they're leaving. Time is running out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all the clubs that have said anything publicly it's they'll stay if the Juniors can negotiate a way otherwise they're leaving. Time is running out. I don't blame them. Most will go because other's will go, they don't want to publicly state they are 100% staying incase all around them leaves. Also if I'm a fan of a club and they make a decision to stay without consulting the fans I would really go off my nut, probably the same if they went without informing us either, so id suspect some haven't made it public that they are staying ether. There will be teams who leave, that's for sure just depends how many from the junior ranks. No team is going to state they are leaving until the know they will be accepted incase of repercussions if they cant. Lets be realistic, if Kilwinning, Clydebank, Pollok, Auchinleck, Cumnock and Hurlford said they were leaving, then rest would leave, well most of the West Junior teams. None of these teams have officially stated they will leave, only most believe Clydebank and Kilwinning are sure to leave at the very least. We have had a few teams with statements which are on the fence, stating they are behind the junior association in making this happen but if not that they will be ready to move if need be. I think nearly everyone is in agreement that there will be a new WOS just depends how many teams join. if there is 16 or less I'd expect it to be one division feeder into the LL if more than 16 they may make it two divisions and the top half of each division in the 20/21 season will make up the Top division and by 21/22 most who have stayed junior will definitely be thinking of moving or at least give it some thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
