For example if the development teams get the go ahead on Tuesday the 12th of January to start playing and training, the next schedule game which is on the 15th will start immediately. Lets make things clear, no league games or cup games with the development teams for 20/21 will be finished in season 21/22. it will be a new start for season 21/22 if we come out of the pandemic or the tiers go down to levels 2 Here's Conference C fixtures- the highlighted ones are the ones that will need fitted in at some point after the season starts.

Teams want to win end of story. In terms of the league starting we need to see what level we all end up next Tuesday. Certainly looks like some of the west local authorities will go back to 3 rather than 2 but hopefully more do so we can get players training and then playing at least friendlies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game dates that have already passed, DO NOT NEED TO TAKE PLACE The leagues are not about finishing and not about the leagues. The development league is about developing players, nothing more, nothing less. . If and when the league starts it will finish on the last league date as expected so if the league games are not finished, so what. Also winning each league does not put a team in the top division, why, because it will be conference leagues again and again each season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those coaches wont last too long if they are only interested in winning the league and not developing players. Young players always want to win and so they should, but developing those players is the remint of the first team and the coaching staff of the development teams, if they dont produce, then the first team committee etc... will get someone else 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they want to develop players but players will sign for clubs for a number of reasons one of which is the chance to win. Coaches will be judges on a number of reasons and I will bet if a development team is struggling every year there will be a change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auch geez a break, I never said you can’t, just usual people going off on a tangent and not taking in the way the post is convey or meant. There are people on here saying the league must be finished. I only posted for one reason and one reason alone when people are stating something that is not true, there is no need for it to be finished. If the league starts then that is great as these lads in the development league have been shafted the most out of most youth teams. Nearly a 6 week spell not allowed to train or play games and then when allowed back, new government changes making their training all non contact. Yes all correct in the rules, just happens that the conditions have affected the dev teams the most. The fact is. If the Council / Health board regions go down to tier 2, whatever development fixture listed is next then that game will be played and the rest of the other fixtures will be played and the fixtures that have been missed so far will try to be squeezed in but its no big deal if it isn't.

Do Darvel have enough players for a team? Just 2 players One of them a keeper No suprise since there's only 2 keepers between the first team and development teams Very hard for a youngster to get in Darvel's first team i would imagine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hopefully the thought is to keep the lads interested, and see them progress into the 1st teams asap. That should be a natural thing whether they are winning or losing - or is it just players from the better sides that progress ? Hope they get the go- ahead to restart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the development league will offer more and better chances of grassroots lads moving up from any team. BUT it depends on each team, the coaching staff, the pathway, the attitude of the first team management and even the effect of the first team committee can harm or damage progress. All these things will be in the mix and will add to whether the player moves up or not. It really all depends how each and every team is run, right through their system and how their pathway works. There's also no need for the lads to move to the first team asap, let them gain experience at their own training, then first team games, then friendly games and then competitive games and see how it goes, not only that, you will get different first team management sniffing about development teams to see any players they can bring in, personally nothing wrong with that as long as they do it officially Edited February 21, 2021 by Bestsinceslicebread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when Easterhouse FA gets into the WoS then they can enter the Development League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) I understand that the original list of 38 clubs for the 2020/21 Under 20's Development League in the West was as shown below. Some additional clubs have expressed interest in joining for 2021/22, including one club labelled (provis) as it has not yet been elected into the WoS. Perhaps this list can be used as a basis for next season's entries?
