Hillonearth Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 7 minutes ago, holmparkheroes said: That’s okay for the punters, but don’t forget that the players and management staff need to be there one and a quarter hours before kickoff and kit people even before that. Oh, totally - I can remember one time not that long ago when we were slated for a 6.30pm kickoff over at Shotts and witnessed a carload of our players screeching into the car park at 6.25 and getting out in full kit. Hardly ideal preparation for the game. As I say, I'm not advocating a return to the old ways...just on a personal level I find myself less likely to take in a game at night when I'm not likely to make it home till closer to 11. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once those are clear Kennie will be able to fill in a lot of gaps. At the moment a lot of future dates are pencilled in for the next round of the cups, and Kennie needs to wait to see who's in them. Junior Cup shouldn’t be getting preference over league matches. Its optional. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are set dates for Scottish Junior Cup rounds, agreed by the WoSFL. If a Scottish Junior Cup match is postponed on that set date it does not automatically take priority over the following week's WoSFL league match the way it used to when the SJFA were the governing body.

Every thing you say is correct but when the postponement is put back into the calendar it still takes up another Saturday therefore taking preference over league games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. There is no rule that it has to be on a Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also even if a team has voluntarily entered the junior cup it's played on a Saturday and again taking preference over league games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the match could be played on the set date of the next round, which is what has happened already this season, or if a window of opportunity arose on another Saturday where a league fixture is not already scheduled. But there's no point in talking hypothetics. Anyway, yes, we're miles off topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the one who was drawing attention to the fact that former Dons manager had perhaps been disrespectful to pyramid semi professional clubs who play in the tiered structure setup. Some things turn into hard work eh??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
