I think quite a lot will renew. Many will renew due to heir relationship/history with the juniors and the Scottish cup Some will renew cause they know it will give them a bigger schedule but with a development squad means they can bleed their youth player sin the cup or they are there for cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks, it will be interesting to see how many of the 63 will continue their membership. I reckon about 50 will have renewed. But not all of them will play in the Scottish Junior Cup next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know when the SJFA AGM is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know when the SJFA AGM is?Some teams may just want to keep their options open. The membership fee is not expensive. Sone teams may renew to facilitate finishing this season's competition but may not play next season's competition. Various reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Interesting. And the AGM? It's usually the 3rd Saturday in June which would be next weekend. However, in the current circumstances I'm not sure. My club hasn't renewed membership so we wouldn't be informed about the meeting arrangements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever it starts a priority for the WoSFL is going to be getting a more permanent structure in place. Whereas the Junior Cup will be more important to the Junior league clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 At this point nobody knows what a 2020-21 season is going to look like. Whenever it starts a priority for the WoSFL is going to be getting a more permanent structure in place. Whereas the Junior Cup will be more important to the Junior league clubs.Exactly my point. Whenever the season gets underway, the clubs will need to prioritise WoSFL and South Challenge Cup games over Scottish Junior Cup games. That's the rules. So, while probably the majority of teams have renewed their SJFA membership, that doesn't guarantee that they will enter the Scottish Junior Cup next season.Here's another point though. I've seen it mentioned a few times that clubs could just put out their u20s Development Team into the SJC. What are the rules about the number of registered players you can have in the SJFA ? Why should a team in the west have access to unlimited players in the SJC up against a team from outside the west who will be limited to the SJFA rules on squad numbers ?There are lots of anomalies, inconsistencies and questions like that which have made some WoSFL clubs (like my own club) just say "let's just remove the confusion and only have one governing body, we don't need the confusion caused by dual membership." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Worrying that some people may think that clubs being sjfa members for next season - really means that the Juniors are still alive and kicking All this Senior talk blah blah...welcome back to the junior bosom, cosy times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
