Edited to add:- I see two others have commented on this. (Also, the phrase is actually, "best since sliced bread.") Would've been one more only I was beaten to it. Doesn't seem to be much point now though. Not even a casing one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I mean one carrot for the WoSFL to dangle to top amateur clubs is that the WoS will be considerably higher on the list than any local amateur leagues when it comes to return to playing/spectating. As I've said before I do think Strathclyde Uni and Oban Saints would be mad not to apply.If amateur football isn't allowed in August then that will be the least of our worries. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit behind but nae harm in clearing things up. Battery Park 3G was used by Port Glasgow a few year back when they were waiting on their new ground to be completed. Only for a season or so. But, since then, both Greenock and Port Glasgow have used it for the odd game here and there. Greenock usually if Ravenscraig has turned into a bog and they wanted to get fixtures out of the way to avoid a pile up and The Port when there was some arguments with the council about their new ground. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyramidic Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Harmony Row Youth Club the latest applicant to surface: https://www.harmonyrow.club/football-home ”Five applications have already been lodged including one from Harmony Row Youth Club, one of Scotland’s most revered community clubs.” Boyd believes no club should be denied the chance to realise their ambitions and wouldn’t be against seeing an extra division tagged on to the WoSFL in years to come to accommodate teams. “There is criteria clubs have to meet to enter at tier nine which all our member clubs currently meet, he added. “But we could possibly look at a Tier 10 which would allow a bit more room for manoeuvre albeit it would be promotion tied unless teams could demonstrate that they could make the improvements required to step up.“ Source: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/west-scotland-league-worth-wait-23785731 No news from the club yet but sure to appear here: Edited March 24, 2021 by Pyramidic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one thing I don't think there should be any debate over. There needs to be a barrier between spectators and players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'm basing this off of absolutely nothing, but perhaps Harmony Row would try and get a groundshare with Renfrew until they can get their own facilities up to scratch. It's only a wee bit down the road from them, much closer than St Cadocs sharing with the Ants 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good surface but a miserable spot for football. Right beside the motorway and an absolute wind tunnel. Had some very unpleasant games there before! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely wishful thinking from misty eyed romantics dreaming of away days in Campbeltown, Lochgilphead, Oban, Rothesay and Dunoon. Those places have well run amateur teams and grounds that could handle WoSFL but I don't think anyone has heard a peep from anyone at those clubs have they? Shame. I'm a misty eyed romantic dreaming of an away day in Argyll and Bute 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
