portobellojambo1 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 21 minutes ago, The Treasurer said: This "regional" idea is a joke. It's clear it doesn't work due to the fact that there are not enough teams in each area. If they insist on continuing with this then the least they can do is use a bit of common sense (I know) and not schedule midweek games for teams at the opposite ends of the country Absolutely. Although the differences geographically aren't huge there are two Edinburgh based clubs whose grounds are further North than Tynecastle (Spartans and Edinburgh City) who are in the South area whereas we are placed in the North area because there aren't enough top seeded clubs in that area. As for actually determining when the games are played surely it makes more sense to allocate the midweek game dates to teams who are closest geographically and leave the weekends for longer trips. I'm sure that both Elgin and Peterhead would have benefited financially (both the actual clubs and the local economy) if we had been going up there on a Saturday rather than during the week. But as you say the sort of things that fans would consider as just common sense decisions bypass the braindead officials who decide on everything.

I certainly would’ve been going up to both had they been weekends and I know a lot of my mates would’ve done the same thing. Just typical powers that be they introduce the groups to make different games help smaller clubs financially with bigger games but end up sending the bigger clubs stupid distances midweek restricting proper numbers travelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo92 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Like this format to be honest - its a good way of building up some steam ahead of the start of the league season (provided the team is ready to go by the start of the fixtures) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
