My view, the U19s is the best age to go into development league. its not about winning trophies in the league, although I bet a few will see it that way but tis about developing the lads for the first team. Every one of the 67 teams in the WOS will have thought about it but working out if its feasible. In regards to Auchinleck, what park would the development players use. Obviously Beechwood park during summer months but once the floodlights are ready is this the park they would intend to use for the u20s because if its raining a Friday night I can see the first team putting the game off so that they u20s game doesn't ruin it for the first team, and to be honest I can see this happening to a few teams - wits the throughts on this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t take away from my point about discussing a team that don’t have a 20’s team and talking about them co-opting an U16 team for next season... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 That's part of the reason why we're taking our time over it as well and waiting to next summer. We will have a look at how it works when it actually starts and hopefully we'll have the right structure in place when we're ready to go. At the moment we're not ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Pub League Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 1 hour ago, alzar7 said: This is all encouraging but what is concerning is the big whiff and bandwagon jumping going on here. Massive shortage of committed players at this age , teams were folding left right and centre and i'm almost certain after an initial burst many teams will go this way as the committed players or half decent quality or even of poor quality aren't there which has been shown in the last ten years. Add to that no games for months any boys committing now mean nothing as in months time practically some are inevitably not going follow up on this. Much of on this looks good on paper but practically much of it doesn't add up which in my opinion will be exposed in time especially post pandemic. Oh come on Traffy old boy, must do better. 1/10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Blackie Gold, thanks for that Is the dressing rooms close to the park and is there a barrier for spectators to stand and watch the game ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Not suitable in meeting required criteria then .... I wouldn't fancy watching any games from behind a fence like that ( And might have to pay for the privilege) Not quite true. The Lowland Development League don't strictly enforce that rule. If there is no barrier they "advise" that people watch the game from outside, but it is not mandatory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that there has to be a barrier or roped off area in place otherwise you have to stand outside of cage If some chose to ignore this rule this will be interesting .... even more so with social distancing possibly being implemented too (Standing close to coaches & players???) Again ... as I said not keen to stand outside a cage to watch & asked to pay either, don't think it will go down well with ex Junior punters either ...
