glensmad Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 The WoSFL Cup draw wasn't made today. The clubs were all informed at the AGM that two clubs had indicated their intentions to appeal against decisions of the Discipline Committee, so the draw had to be postponed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't it be the case that before a case is accepted for appeal there have to be valid grounds for appeal. I mean the constitution clearly states that they should be banned so on what grounds can they appeal. Should it not be the case that the league should not accept the appeal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update, then the SFA shouldn't be taking it but knowing the way they operate I am not surprised. Both clubs should be ashamed of themselves. One pulled out because they thought they were getting promoted and the other because 2 many players were drunk/hungover/still away because of a European final. Both teams are treating the league with utter contempt imo. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i remember correctly one of the new rules was that a new registered club in Division 4 would be given two years grace to get their park sorted and that they should own the park to become full members or have I got this wrong. If it does exists does the EOSFL have any such law as well as the WOSFL. Just realized, relegation from division 3 depends on other divisions relegations so is division 3 to be back to a 16 team league as they have 19 for season 22/23 Edited June 26, 2022 by Bestsinceslicebread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never a hard and fast rule. Some leeway was give due to the level of interest, and COVID etc. It's hard to tell from social media but most last season's Division 4 clubs have mentioned being voted in as full members showing they've met the minimum requirements for membership. And it seems like the new clubs have been accepted as full members as well. 50 minutes ago, Bestsinceslicebread said: If it does exists does the EOSFL have any such law as well as the WOSFL. The EoSFL have their membership criteria. Going forward I imagine the WoSFL will be enforcing theirs from now on as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollokfan1987 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Yeah I thought it was 3 up 3 down across the divisions…Yeah someone asked on twitter and it’s 3 up 3 down but not 100% on Division 4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker Conspiracy Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 So the plan is to continue with 19 in division three and 12 in division four in the following seasons as well? Seems a little, well, eccentric, to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that's a rule in any league in Scotland. Or indeed the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance i'm not really how the 3rd Division would get to a point where they need to relegate an additional 3 teams since the Lowland can only relegate 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making ground ownership a requirement would exclude a huge number of clubs at practically all levels in Scotland. Most leagues seem to have rules about access to a ground and security of tenure if it's leased, which doesn't seem unreasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Yeah seems a strange set up to have 3 coming up and possibly 8 going down, if 2 from the LL come it’s still 3 that don’t seem to need to go down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
