Good luck to the progressive WOSFL - one question : Are the top six West clubs bigger than the bottom spfl 6 ? Definitely a yes, which is why the big boys are scared - gone a bit stale so get relegated ! ! Good point. Wouldn't surprise me if eventually they came to a compromise involving increasing League Two to 12 teams and bringing in automatic two-up, two-down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were ten-team leagues with two automatic relegation spots until years ago when the playoffs were introduced. My god but you're a young thing. Weren't the divisions you're talking about named Division One and Two not First and Second? Edited January 7, 2021 by rockson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean when the set up moved to four divisions in 1994 (when ICT and Ross County joined) and it became Premier/First/Second/Third. There were two automatic relegation spots from the ten-team first/second divisions until 2007 when they changed it to one automatic relegation spot and second bottom in playoffs with the division below. Obviously it then became Premiership/Championship/League One/League Two later on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Irvine Meadow with an update video on their Facebook page, saying that work is starting to install floodlights. Must be confident they can get everything sorted within the next month and get their licence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Brilliant, so many clubs looking to get licensed, get the floodlights up and running, get grounds tidied up and improved. Should have been in Scotland next week, can't wait to return ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Great to see the lights going up, I take it for granted down south, keep up the good work. With clubs getting licensed and ready to progress, will we ever see a situation like the National League where there are so many ex EFL clubs ? Are the top 12 Scottish non Lge clubs better than the current spfl2 crop ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea but I'd say probably not - for a start they don't have a working website which is needed for the club policies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not man of the match Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I’m sure I read that Yoker aren’t going for it at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a new enclosure and a further enclosure to come. Should have cover for about 4/500 in total easily.

Andy groundhopper Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Great stuff, are the enclosures down the dressing room side, and any news on seating ? My apologies haven't checked websites lately ! Would be good to see both sides completed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No seats at present but that could change I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
