I'm making this up as I need attention: that clubs have voted 36 to 31 in favour of starting the league on 24th of October. Apparently there’s 14 clubs that have said they won’t be taking part this season.
among those not going to complete include Whitletts and kilbirnie.
Allegedly also petershill, pollok and talbot.
That’s the same as I had heard. Surely the Talbot would be able to continue? They would miss out on the senior Scottish as well.
move no idea how much the club would need to shell out on wages if the league started and they didn’t have fans coming in and spending money on food etc. Surely it can’t be sustainable for long for any club? If it does start on 24:10 then who knows how long it’ll last either. Be interesting to see how many clubs last longer than 4 weeks as most clubs said that’s about as long as they could go without fans.
latest I heard from us is that they wanted a couple of points clarified. Which ones I don’t know, nor why.
As fir the senior cup, I could be wrong here but I thought I’d read that teams who weren’t fully licenced weren’t getting in. That would mean we wouldn’t get a spot as we’ve still work to do to get it. Including a first aid/medical facility.
Rossvale will have more cash than Benburb so won’t be relying on fans.Cumnock definitely out according to their twitter account
Seems Benburb could be too. Does anyone know if they own their park? If so, how can Rossvale rent it out and play if Benburn won't?
It's sad for the league to see this happening I don't get why clubs at that level aren't allowed supporters in given alot of the grounds are all open space. I do get the complaints about changing facilities not being available to shower afterwards just asking for trouble.Talbot and Pollok released statements saying they've withdrawn from the coming season
Kudos to the Pollok one for including the word "quixotic"

Glenafton have withdrawn and their manager ,McEwan,has resignedBe interesting to see how the clubs who haven’t withdrawn get on.
Nothing to play for by the sounds of it with no promotion or relegation so you do wonder what the point of the season is for those continuing.Be interesting to see how the clubs who haven’t withdrawn get on.
I wonder if more clubs will now withdraw in case they start the new season and cannot finish it and face sanctions?
That is possible although in the statement clubs also have to 14th November if they wish to continue once the season starts afte that who knowns if they will apply any sanctions
One of the answers to the questionnaire I saw the other week said (from memory) that most clubs thought they could only go about 4 weeks without income so I guess this statement is giving them around that to start in October and see how they get on before having the chance to pull out in November. Makes sense.
Maybe if this had been on the table before last Friday's deadline Talbot may have tried to play for 4 weeks. We will never know though.
Colin I know it’s not the juniors anymore it’s the wosl but doing something that seems sensible , btw who are the six teams are they the ones that have a “ benefactor “ and crowds don’t really matter to much
if you want I’ll guess? But I could be way out and I’ll only end up annoying any if their fans in here.
Darvel. Beith. Kilwinning. Medda. Pure guesswork. In the past you could add hurlford.
John Boal.Where do Beith get the money?
Strange set up at the Bens, most people think they sold their own stadium to developers and built a new stadium, what happened was they sold the stadium to developers,Benburb then leased the land from the council and the developers build what sit's there today,they didn't make much money out of it if any and have around £4k a year in rates and water.Cumnock definitely out according to their twitter account
Seems Benburb could be too. Does anyone know if they own their park? If so, how can Rossvale rent it out and play if Benburn won't?
Yeah would have guessed at Darvel kilwinning hurlford oh for the old junior days Colinif you want I’ll guess? But I could be way out and I’ll only end up annoying any if their fans in here.

What a dick by bringing Talbot into it. Mind you, nothing the rat does surprises me.
Heard Cambuslang Rangers have withdrawn too, although their website appears strange. Its gives a few lines of text expressing deep regret, but the link to the full statement doesn't work.
