Or do you not count the first one as it was switched before it got postponed? (And then it got postponed at Largs). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokforever Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 All in there were 240 games postponed and 2 games abandoned last season, this season we have had 32 postponements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hopefully the weather behaves and we get many more games played - difficult to say whether it's a crap pitch or dreadful weather sometimes let's not forget that these people are volunteers - not armies of groundskeepers helping out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 These games are being played in the rainiest, coldest, part of the normal season so, inevitably, there will be more postponements for non-plastic pitches. The necessary frequency of games, due to the SP's mistaken early season lockdown of Tiers 5, 6 and 7 won't help either. Games will, though, be played when possible and will continue until the end of the season which, inevitably, will be later than is usual for Pyramid leagues. At least most clubs have chosen to play and to face up to the very real difficulties of doing so. Sadly some on here would prefer no season at all in the hope that the Pyramid leagues will suffer sufficiently to attract clubs back into the virtually defunct abysmally run Junior set-up. Having said that it is good to see that all Pyramid clubs will be receiving some financial aid before too long, whether or not they've gone into abeyance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see people have perfectly legitimate concerns around the financial sense of playing with no income and the obvious health aspect of the virus. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah don't believe any of the clubs in abeyance are hoping for the pyramid to fail. My own club were no happy about the no fans aspect along with asking/expecting players to play for fun having already agreed contracts never mind the health of players and committee , one has been suffering long term effects from the virus. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Pollok absolutely down to money and match day safety. I was part of the discussion at our AGM that then went to committee. Not one voice in favour among fans of playing 20-21 and zero to do with the fucking Juniors - all about how a six figure wage bill would get covered.

11TH MAY 1991 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 "six figure wage bill" Is this the highest in the WOSFL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestsinceslicebread Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Couple of things regarding a few recent posts. Most teams who withdrew have their official reasons and the real reasons but in general, Finances are the main reason of nearly every team that withdrew and I don't blame them. Health and safety would be next. Pollok as an example is a minimum of £3000 a week wage bill, (probably nearing £4000) checking my math's for the 3 grand weekly and that works out at £12,000 a month and that is £144,000 a year. How the hell would they cover that with no fans and less sponsorship, I do not know, so withdraw is the perfect solution and at that, they are allowed to come back into the league in the same position next year. It's common sense for all concerned especially the WOSFL and the LL association as they do not want any West team to fold during these hard times, thus they came up with the withdraw idea. None of us have ever been in such a situation with this pandemic and it was hard enough all the junior teams league the junior league to become senior teams with quite a few not happy about it. We all know the reasons. The teams that have continued is great as I've been able to watch quite a few streamed games and enjoyed them, so thanks to all Are there still people unhappy leaving the juniors to join the pyramid/senior league. yes of course there are but it will take a while for this to change, especially when the ones with the attitude are changed over in their respective committees with younger people who have a vision to progress. In relation to the comment about rather have postponed games than astro pitch is a bit laughable but laughable from my own viewpoint. Artificial parks do not detract from the standard of play, nearly all teams train on artificial parks and are all fully versed on the surface and how to play on it. However, I think we are all agreed, grass is preferable, but ffs, we are in Scotland.

Glass ceiling Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Seems to me most of the posts on this thread are from Pollok - who are not playing in the league at the moment Pipe up when you start playing you absolute pains in the arse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
