Reminds me of a guy I know who was in a band touring Germany who arrived to play in Frankfurt. The wrong Frankfurt. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a pin in the centre of Glasgow and a pin in the centre of Edinburgh, then measure the distance from a clubs ground to each pin on the map. Closer to Glasgow - WoSL, closer to Edinburgh EoSL. Not having measured but I would assume Harthill are bang in the middle between the 2, but it would probably shunt Forth east and I think puts Falkirk WoSL, but Grangemouth EoSL. Time for a Radical shake up i think Finally! The Wisdom of Solomon. Let's chop this baby in half!!! Good news for Armadale, Whitburn, Stoneyburn, Bathgate and West Calder. Turns out they have always been correctly in the East Region by several km. Good news too for Harthill who can add "4.2 km closer to Glasgow" along with their ML postcode to their application pack. Good news too for Fauldhouse who will become the only West Lothian team in the WoS, by 34.47 km stroll into Glasgow versus a disappearing into the distance 34.85 trek to Edinburgh. If they want to stay in the East they'll need a ground swap with the cricket club Edited March 1, 2021 by PastyMan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for a Radical shake up i think Falkirk itself is closer to Edinburgh than glasgow. Once u start hitting larbert and denny possibly even camelon may be closer to the west 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Why is there a need for a Discipline Secretary if the SFA do the discipline?The WoSFL administers its own discipline from tier 7 down. The SFA said that they didn't have the capacity to take on another 67 clubs under the JPP. It was another reason for the late creation of the Premier League above the Conferences, it was a demand by the SFA to get the WoSFL approved at last summer's AGM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the main talking points during the PWG meetings with the SFA comprising to say they would cover Tier 6 leagues.

glensmad Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Any news on other matters discussed i.e. at the General Meeting of clubs?It was a very short meeting, with an update on the current suspension and more potential constitutional changes ahead of the AGM. No questions were raised by the clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just assumed they backed down for all tier 6 and 7 levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just assumed they backed down for all tier 6 and 7 levels. Unfortunately not, hence the necessary creation of the Premier League at tier 6 with the conferences below. That was the deal offered by the SFA, otherwise the league wouldn't have been proposed for rubber stamping at the SFA AGM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just assumed they backed down for all tier 6 and 7 levels. Don't know how much of it was EoSFL being "grandfathered" in as it were. Since the SFA previously oversaw the EoS Premier and EoS First Division (just under smaller numbers). All I know is the SFA compromised on saying they'd oversee Tier 6 only, limited the scope of that number and have enforced that when it comes to the WoSFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It's totally off topic anyway, but isn't it just typical Scottish fitba that an issue such as displine is handled by the SFA in one league, but at the same level in another it's handled by the league themselves. The SFA continue to handle discipline for the U20 Development League but I guess they'll throw their toys out the pram again at some point, rather than getting the resource to administer all leagues/divisions in a consistent manner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
