Most would probably rather avoid the odd number teams, at which point you had the shared title for the WRSJFA Championship. You couldn't just pick one to make it up to 18. That's how you end up with the 20. It would have been a 17 team league if full relegation and promotion had taken place based on PPG or if relegation & promotion was scrapped. A 20 team league is the consequence of a fudge and a reluctance to make eggy decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Yeah that might be true but surely the relegation and promotion was decided by WOSJ The WRSJFA didn't decide any promotion or relegation. They only decided champions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LL-WoSFL did what they were told to do by the SFA. There was no fudge by the LL-WoSFL, they had no choice to make. If they hadn't obeyed the order, the WoSFL wouldn't have even been approved for ratification at the SFA AGM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beenzon-Toste Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 The way I see it, if it had been 17 in year 1, the aim would have been to finish in the top 13. Any below that go into tier 7.It's been pushed up to 20, (the reason behind it is irrelevant) so now the aim is still to finish in the top 13. Any below still go into tier 7.Get it done in one year and we can then move on with the structure that it was always meant to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The most laughable decision i've seen in decades of watching numerous levels and grades of football. Only a organisation like the sfa and its puppets in the lowland could have came up with such a decision a 20 team league with that many relegation places in a post pandemic world where clubs will be lucky to play twenty games all in next season really the height of incompetent management. The only laughable thing about this is your number of different log-ins and usernames over the past few weeks, and the fact that you don't think anyone has noticed.

So why would they need to relegate or promote anyone. Where were they relegating or promoting them to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't promote or relegate teams into leagues which weren't going to exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't affect them negatively at all. Yes it does, you have already stated that the downside to 5 being relegated means at the end of season 2021/22, 5 would need to be relegated from the conferences to balance the leagues?

Seriously its not going to effect because there will always be 3 promoted from the tier 7 division this season the 3 conference winners and then when there is a championship at tier 7, then 3 teams will be promoted and 3 teams promoted from tier 8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could easily relegated them to where the 3 promoted clubs were going to be playing or were they going to be playing in a wee league of 3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they have the right to promote but not relegate. Why should Bonnyton be above teams like shotts, who if they had won their games in hand would only be 1 point behind Cumbernauld with more than a quarter of the league to go. Bonnyton were a tier 6 I get that but is their a tier 7 in south of Scotland leagues I honestly don’t know maybe you can tell me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not really the problem, and they'll find their true level eventually. The real issue is the whole ungainly 20 team top tier where it's unlikely teams will be able to play each other more than once over the coming season, and which falls squarely into the "seemed like a good idea to someone at the time" category. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give two shiny jobbys whose decision it was. It's mental to have a 20 team league and should have been avoided at all costs. As it is, it may take two full seasons to sort the bag of washing out. Edited June 10, 2020 by jimbaxters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
