PossilYM Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Wishaw a few seasons back had 20 league games to play starting the Saturday after Easter. Even playing Saturday Monday Wednesday for a few weeks they still managed a Saturday off for some reason. The also finished the season under their 3rd manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranent v Darvel was May 28th So my memory isn't as bad as I thought it might be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Last season was exceptional circumstances with the Premier Division having 20 teams and 38 matches. The leagues are much more balanced this year (apart from the 3rd and 4th, and that will be sorted for next season), so the finish dates for all leagues will hopefully be much closer to the start date of the play-offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt that will happen again as they had two Junior Cup replays and umpteen postponements, which nowadays would be moved to midweek or an artificial pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't half hog the SJFA rules as they were at the time to play the cup game at home. Indirectly that in turn blew their chances of promotion that season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in the season we played talbot on a Wednesday because the two teams progressed in the Scottish cup we lost out in revenue which would have been made on a Saturday the original fixture was a Saturday and should have stayed on a Saturday but it couldn't be played on another Saturday because the junior cup has taken valuable dates so because we dont play in the junior cup we get penalised and that makes unfair competition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kilwinning v Talbot game was moved because both teams progressed in South Challenge Cup not Scottish Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
