FairWeatherFan Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 3 minutes ago, Buddie Holly said: is there relegation from this division? No. There's no promotion or relegation. It's not a full part of the pyramid. It was created largely due to COVID. a number of clubs were looking to apply to the WoSFL for this season, but the league had made the commitment to its existing members to play out the Tier 7 Conferences. So the applicant clubs got their own division to play in so they wouldn't disrupt that. The hope is that the clubs will be accepted as full members and be integrated into the bottom of the WoSFL. If that doesn't happen there might be enough clubs to continue a standalone division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddie Holly Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 are there any other clubs waiting to join the division? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westerton United were meant to be in it this season but pulled out, and it sounded like there was other interest during the close season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 There was a Blantyre team that was planning to play at the Jock Stein Centre in Hamilton and was supposed to have been delayed by a year but South Lanarkshire Council appears to have decided not to sell the facility to them: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/lanarkshire/council-refuse-application-sell-jock-25519921 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 West Kilbride Thistle had a ground at Ardrossan Academy planned but no idea how that's progressing. More crucially the chairman & I assume others moved over to Ardeer Thistle.Stewarton United's name was a strong rumour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I've still naw quite got this league yet. There's no promotion for winning but it's more of a holding pen for clubs who are going to join the leagues above providing they can get their grounds in order aye? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like how Conference X was created for the EoSFL this season to deal with new applicants while allowing the 2020-21 format play out above. The difference is that the EoSFL took on full new members, whereas there's a mishmash of clubs in the WoSFL that may or may not meet the league requirements for membership. While Conference X will see promotion and become the EoS Third Division. It's still a bit of an unknown as to what will happen with Division 4 as it depends on clubs becoming full members and new applicants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't judge Kilsyth or Glenvale as their current playing fields are unknown to me. Finnart and BSC probably need something better that Springburn. Campbeltown and Harthill should be fine with their own grounds and St. Peter's and Harmony Row seem fine with decent ground shares. So if the latter four "move up" what would happen to the four remaining if there aren't numbers to take the place of the clubs who go up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the worse case scenario, and I believe they'd go back to where they came from. There's quite a few variables to play out before it comes to that though. The league is already promoting applications for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I guess it would be simple enough to allow them some kind of associate membership to let them keep access to the cups while they spend a year (or two) back in the ammies while they try and build up another intermediate division. The league seems to have been ran pretty well and been accommodating to teams so far so they'll figure something out if they need to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
