kinch Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Am I correct in thinking should a 16 team premier and a 16 team championship be voted on and confirmed Eastvale and Rosebank who won the league and promotion from league 1 go straight into the premier leaving 2 spaces to fill Again correct me if I'm wrong All other existing championship teams from last season have refused to go up Rosyth Kelty Kinross St Monans So this would then mean asking teams out with the 2 promoted from league 1 to join the premier Markinch St Andrews university Glenrothes Fife thistle Teams who were relegated have no choice as per the constitution they have to move down a league. Getting confused with the whole situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom teams in the prem won’t be good enough to compete .they know that and That’s why they don’t want promoted . Teams like kelty and rosyth are decent teams but what will they actually playing for ? There not going to win a league cup in that league either . Start with 2 leagues of 16 and then split them in to 3 after one round of games of 10/11/11 Teams will all have stuff to play for the whole year ! I don’t think it would matter if teams folded Becuse the split would be with the teams available. You could even do league cups for the 2 big leagues at the start and 3 small ones after the split . Only cup where all teams compete would be the Fife which would make it the big one. Would love to see and east of Fife cup and west of Fife cup too . Ideal midweek cup competition. i challenge someone to tell me a negative of this set up . It’s just new and football people don’t like that.

ya cant Posted July 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Surely common sense has to prevail here and there has to be 2 leagues of 16 now. if anymore teams fold the leagues are going to be farcical in the incoming season and it wont affect a bigger league as much as a league with 10 teams Bombscare, Berti and reider 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceejay Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Remember, when the 2 Leagues Amalgamated it was for the Benefit of Fife Amateur Football ,some teams are not making it easy for the Committee that run the show(I know they work for and are put In position by yourselfs) but they must be getting a bit Cheesed of by all this Bickering. smiler, ya cant, Bombscare and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berti Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Whether it's 2 leagues or 3 it needs to be sorted soon. We don't know what division we're in due to the Kinross Colts situation. I cancelled a pre season match once we were told we were in the Championship as didn't want to play a team from our division and rearranged against a team in the 1st which is where we have now been moved back to.

Ya Rocket Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 On 7/7/2019 at 9:53 PM, Soapy Bubbles said: Rocket you didn't answer the question I asked. The time commitment is likely to be no more than amateur, 2 nights training, Saturday afternoon for the game. Travelling is no worse than in the amateurs, other than you have to leave Fife now and then. Money isn't the issue, you're not paid to be amateur. If everyone is meant to be playing at the best they can why aren't the best players migrating to the higher leagues, Amateur, Junior, EOS, Lowland, Seniors? Is it individual lack of ambition, players happy being the big fish in the small pond? That's what posters are accusing teams of. Bubbles if you look closely I did answer your question and if you think that there is no difference commitment or travelling wise between amateur and junior then you need to think again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swallows1 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) I don’t normally get involved with arguments on the forum but feel I need to inform everyone why we refused the offer to join the premier league.We have a team which consists of the majority of players in the 20 to 21 age bracket who are not ready for the top league.Furthermore we just managed to avoid relegation from the championship last season.We do not lack ambition as some of elite teams are suggesting but are realistic as to where we are.It would serve no purpose and would knock our confidence to be heavily beaten on a regular basis.Also how would this strengthen the top teams to be playing us one week and then maybe playing a top West of Scotland team in the Scottish the next week.Why not have 12 teams and play each other 3 times thus providing a really competitive league.It would however appear to be self interest that is driving this.Finally we elect an Executive to run the Association and without doubt all this is undermining their position.

Undermining there position ? What do you mean by that ? At the agm it was voted by all the teams 14-10-10 by all the members clubs am sure the committee didnt like this vote and thats why a SGM was called and then there was a complete change cause 1 team had folded 2 leagues of 16 teams is the way forward as teams are struggling not just one or two and 3 leagues is no good if other clubs fold which is likely to happen , sgm should be called now and get the leagues sorted before we end up with leagues with 8 teams in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swallows1 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 2 teams folded after the vote at the AGM Leslie and Valleyfield.Personally I have no problem with 2 leagues but what happens if you can’t get up to 16 for the premier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the meeting leslie had said they were folding so everyone knew before voting on 14-10-10 just wasnt confirmed at SGM on 2 nd july after valleyfield folded it was voted 12-10-10 with the bottom 2 leagues playing each other 3 times so one team has not registered yet so imo i take that as a change to the vote and i know lots of teams are struggling so there is a proposal in to go to 2 leagues of 16 in case teams fold and we dont end up with farcical leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arab76 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I also don't get involved in this sort off stuff but, Why was the need to let 5 new teams join the league set up, would it not be better if, say 3 clubs fold let 3 new teams join then leauge numbers still the same, Also letting new teams join the players they recruit are from team already up and running so they are in danger off folding,. Think it needs looked at. Cheers ya cant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
