Baz_bruce Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Why is it not 3 leagues of 10 instead of 11/10/9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirboss Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 shocking what was wrong with 14 16 mark my words at least one or more teams will fold before christmas leaving leagues a joke only my view but just not enough players to go around Berti and jaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgm Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 9 team league. Embarrassing Berti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieHearts72 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 My understanding is that they couldn't relegate another team from the top division so they had to make it 11 teams. Another thing is that with AM Soccer having 2 teams it means that there players can play for both sides as they are registered as one side, which in my opinion gives them an unfair advantage. Think the league have taken into consideration the amount of games that teams were playing at the end of the season if they were doing well in cups which meant teams playing 3 times a week. Can't please everybody though so just have to get on with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirboss Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 because 2 teams had to get promoted as that what leaguue rules state that 2 must get relegated and with inverkiething pulling out after last years agm 2 still had to get relegated leaving 9 in top league. wasnt at agm so not heard if there was much debate but would presume there would be. our rep was told to vote for 2 leagues.

reider Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Gotta agree with sirboss 2 leagues with a 14-16 set up makes more sense to me. Berti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz_bruce Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Not saying you can please everyone I do however agree teams will fold and leagues will suffer as a consequence. Top league playing more games and judging by last season all these teams went onto cup finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) It was openly discussed with a breakdown of how many playing days being calculated and how the Assoc can be run The 2 leagues was proposed and keep all the cups which was a no go due to the amount of fixtures and as stated before some stipulations in the constitution What ever is chosen it won't suit all and as for teams folding..... well I would imagine we'll deal with that if it happens Edited June 22, 2016 by Mariner Brucie boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieHearts72 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 We would have liked 2 leagues as well but I can see where the league is coming from regarding fixtures. Some say start the season earlier but if we get a bad winter it could mean 3 months of no games and still finishing in June. Financially it might help teams as less money having to be spent on refs, washing of kits etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berti Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Farcical in my opinion. Bottom league could play 21 games in total! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz_bruce Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 If they are keeping all the cups why not go with the 2 bigger leagues and even make some cups consolation cups at the end of the season. Just think a league with 9 teams is a joke. Surely a MINIMUM of 10 teams per league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly enticing for a sponsor the thought of putting money into a team that may only be back 8 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieHearts72 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 If we could forecast the future we would all be millionaries!!! Think the league are just erring on the side of caution. As I said I would have preferred 2 leagues but it hasn't happened. AM Soccer and yourselves will be ok though with suspensions!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
