The Juniors during the lockdown
- Thread starter mdingwall
- Start date
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.
The expenses clubs will incur aren’t sustainable without any income. It will end in tears for some.
Rossvale will have more cash than Benburb so won’t be relying on fans.

Watched the Rose v Crossgates online yesterday... absolutely dire!
But at least their season's off & running.

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.
Be interesting to see how the clubs who haven’t withdrawn get on.

Glenafton have withdrawn and their manager ,McEwan,has resigned
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.

I wonder if more clubs will now withdraw in case they start the new season and cannot finish it?

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.

Cheers for that interesting they now put something on the table to attempt to try something than rather do it before last Friday's deadline
Feel for any club that has to make a decision on whether to play or not
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.

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.
Council wouldn't sell the land to them despite it sitting for decades unused. Just keep their heads above water previously and will be feeling the pinch now,always thought it was a mistake not to include a social club/function room in the new build which would have gave them additional income.
Contrast and compare to what the council did to help their beloved St Anthony's.

What a dick by bringing Talbot into it. Mind you, nothing the rat does surprises me.

Cambuslang updated their website with an article last night and confirmed on their social media they were withdrawing but a couple hours later the article had been taken down and all the social media posts removed

He’s a horrible, horrible wee individual. One of the most disliked characters in junior football.
