Ginaro Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thought I'd have a look at the state of play after 6 matches (PPG as not all played the same). End of the season we can do a comparison to pre-Covid times - Ardeer look to be the biggest mover so far, from the very bottom of the West Region. Premier Division First Division Second Division 1 Kilwinning Rangers 1 Rutherglen Glencairn 1 Shotts Bon Accord 2 Auchinleck Talbot 2 Glenafton Athletic 2 Johnstone Burgh 3 Darvel 3 Troon 3 Forth Wanderers 4 Clydebank 4 Blantyre Victoria 4 Whitletts Victoria 5 Pollok 5 Bonnyton Thistle 5 Girvan 6 Hurlford United 6 Rossvale 6 Greenock Juniors 7 Benburb 7 Kilbirnie Ladeside 7 Renfrew 8 Irvine Meadow XI 8 Muirkirk Juniors 8 Carluke Rovers 9 Cumbernauld United 9 Craigmark Burntonians 9 Ashfield 10 Beith Juniors 10 Bellshill Athletic 10 Port Glasgow Juniors 11 Cumnock Juniors 11 Ardeer Thistle 11 Glasgow Perthshire 12 Largs Thistle 12 Cambuslang Rangers 12 Petershill 13 Kirkintilloch RR 13 St. Cadoc’s 13 Ardrossan Winton Rovers 14 Arthurlie 14 Wishaw 14 Kilsyth Rangers 15 Gartcairn 15 Neilston 15 Vale of Leven 16 Drumchapel United 16 St. Roch’s 16 Thorniewood United Plus 26 other teams if the 8 Division Four clubs move up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 1st goes up and no west club comes down from the LL, then I think 14th stays in the Premier, the best 6th place in the Conferences would go to the First Division, and the second best 10th would go to the Second Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkcircus Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 There will be clubs moving up from Div4 couple of new clubs interested already for Div4 next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hypothetical situation - 7 of this years Div 4 clubs have grounds up to scratch and so (as I understand it) can be promoted. Two new clubs are added. What happens with the three clubs in this "Development" League. Other scenario, only one club goes up.......how many years can the remaining clubs compete in the "Development" League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they be split into conferences or regions? 24 minutes ago, theesel1994 said: Hypothetical situation - 7 of this years Div 4 clubs have grounds up to scratch and so (as I understand it) can be promoted.

IMO this is where the connection between the WOS and the amateur leagues breaks down. What you essentially have with the WOS development league is a group of "amateur" clubs from the WOS catchment who are upgrading their grounds. It would be good if this middleman stage could be cut out - best thing would be if there was a single amateur division covering the greater Glasgow area, below the WOS to for clubs compete in while trying to meet the entry criteria. There can be a consistent league size unlike in the WOS development league. I've said it before but it would be good if the four competing amateur leagues covering the greater Glasgow area could be sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Thought this could do with an update since the Conferences are basically at half-distance and it's a cup weekend. Added where clubs would've been had the 19-20 season finished so you can see where they should've been in a four division structure. Cambuslang, Drumchapel, Craigmark, Ardeer are the big movers, while Glasgow United (Shettleston), Dalry, Lanark are the big losers. Still curious as to what will happen with the Third/Fourth Division next season - 16/10 clubs if all join the league?

Ray Patterson Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 They probably won't go for it but at 26 teams (plus any new ones) they should just split it Lanarkshire/Ayrshire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitting it into 3x12 playing might be better. Or just playing one big division! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I wonder if there will be any new clubs joining at the bottom from the Amateurs? Stewarton Utd were interested last time and Blantyre Soccer Academy delayed their application for one season. Any others? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurcer Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 The make up of the bottom division will put teams out of business. I suppose that might have been the plan all along. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that might have been the plan all along. No one knows the make up of the Third Division right now as its dependent on the number of clubs that are going to be in it. Were the West Region trying to put the bottom division teams out of business in 2018 when they moved to region wide divisions? As this is the same situation if clubs kept applying to the West Region. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Mind a coupla year ago when the East of Scotland had the conferences with inter-conference games to make up the numbers? A possible idea to use again if the numbers mean splitting it leaves it either too big if left as a one big league or too wee if split into two (or however the maths works out). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll come up with something to make it work. They basically adopted the inter-conference play aspect when they were planning on having Groups with in a division to deal with COVID. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
