Say a club has 16 players and its an away game. For arguments sake due to restrictions with no car sharing its a £5 towards your petrol money. £80 out the coffers straight away. Also your first choice goalie can't drive.....that's a bummer. Quite a few keepers could get one of their weans to drive them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to open up the economy and education again was always likely to lead to a "second wave" even if there had been more compliance on advise like that. There is no painless exit at this point whatever we do. Either we completely crash the economy, close down face-to-face education and wait for a vaccine that may never arrive over a virus with an IFR that is in unusually bad flu season territory on mortality, or we accept that there is going to be more pain for a bit until there is herd immunity and it starts to go away naturally. Nobody wants the second option because they like it. Politicians move in that direction because it is the least bad option overall and hence the rational course of action. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason why clubs like that should have guaranteed national league status in perpetuity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 https://wosfl.co.uk/update-15th-october-2020/ Quote The following is an email sent to all WoSFL member clubs at 11.24am on the morning of 15th October 2020 by Kennie Young, Secretary of the Interim Management Group. To All Clubs Please note that due to the withdrawal of a number of clubs from competing in the leagues, all previously issued fixtures are now obsolete apart from those in the Soccer Shop Challenge Cup. There will also need to be a re-jig of the membership of the Conference leagues. They will require to be balanced out to suit the change in circumstances. Once the 8PM deadline for any further club withdrawals has passed, a new set of fixtures will be issued as soon as possible thereafter. Regards, Kennie Young Secretary Interim Management Group of the West of Scotland Football League We'll see what the rejig leads to, for those clubs that support the idea of trying regionalising now is probably the time to start messaging that preference over just reseeding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 ...at the very least they need to dream up some meaningful alternative incentive for being the champion of each section. Maybe something cup format related that gets them some extra playing time against Premiership teams in 2021/22? Beyond that, if a club like Darvel or Kilwinning can get licensed in time to move up to the LL for 2021/22 by winning the Premier and then beating the EoS and/or SoS champions, it isn't completely impossible that there will be a promotion place up for grabs. Maybe they need to talk that possibility up a bit more and they could give the overall Conference champion some kind of delayed guaranteed promotion playoff place for entry into the Premier in 2022/23 if that doesn't happen for them in 2021/22.I am sure the Premiership clubs may not be opposed to even just 1 relegation place or even if finish bottom that club goes into play off with 3 champions from conferences for place in top division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the same point earlier. Going from 7/20 clubs relegated to 1/15 into a play-off could have been possible though not going to happen now. It's a pity because unless you are still in with a chance of winning the League games down the bottom are now meaningless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity because unless you are still in with a chance of winning the League games down the bottom are now meaningless.I am sure could get agreement from all top league clubs that bottom club at least goes into play off with conference winners.I thought initially even bottom 3 v 3 conference winners to play off for place in top league but all teams may not have agreed to that but surely would to bottom team going into a promotion / relegation play off especially since 7 down next season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesel1994 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The League season begins a week tomorrow and clubs don't even know who they are playing.
