When is the closing date for any teams to apply to other leagues

End of February

dougie, if rumours are true and cambria are joining the caley league, looks like every team in the safl dont all think that their league is better than the caley, thoughts?

Cambria are not the team they once were. As like most amateur teams they are trying to rebuild but for the moment they seem to be going back the way going by there results so if they do join the cally and your league is better than ours then there in for hiding.?

Theres more in the fact their leaving the SAFL, than joining the Cally. Why would a team who was in the Premier of the SAFL for maybe 4 seasons - barely scraped survival in 3 of those 4, with 1 of the 4 resulting in Relegation - move to a 'better' league? If they cant survive in let alone win the SAFL premier then what chance do they have in the Cally if they consider it a better league? As I say, there's more to be read into them wanting to leave the SAFL as opposed to the fact the Cally is their league of choice.

Rumours of Cambria's departure from SAFL are exactly that, just rumours. Nothing more to say on the matter. As for the club going back the way, its safe to say last season's relegation, and the circumstances surrounding it has cast a bit of a shadow over proceedings this season but the club will bounce back, there is no question of that.

completely agree with CAFC - it at this stage is just a rumour. I certainly havent been told or are aware of any definite departures.

Tbh most of your post are bang of the money, but for this one quite frankyl i find it a lod of bullshit.

IF the said team are of the OPINION the calley us such a better league, then possibly there move is with the intention of attracting a btter calibre of player. Just because they have struggled in the SAFL premier doesny, it doesny make it there reason to leave, as oppose to it being the better league...

That might no make sense but i know what I mean, and think your comments are dung !

I think I know what you mean sinky, and i've pm'd you mate. You 've mis-interpreted my post. I wasnt saying they have left cause they struggled. I was implying that if the rumours are indeed true and they are on their way to the cally, that the reasons arent solely based on the opinion of which league is better.

politics.

ty123 as dougie says because your moving league doesnt mean its to a better league. If for talking sake Weirs or Balmore (the whipping boys of the cally) were to leave to say the P&D does that mean the P&D is better than the cally?
Cambria are currently getting their star washer felt in Prem1 in the SAFL so it would be different if it was a top team in the SAFL, the only good thing about them at the moment is their park.
As we all know the Central is the no1 league then the SAFL and then probs the Ayrshire you only have to look at how majors have went recently with last 8 last 4... Bannockburn were the callys shining light then they bolted.

I hear cambria have been told by the university admin at stepps that they may lose the park so a arrangement was made by the university football team if they moved to the cally the park issue would be not be a problem

Not true in anyway shape or form. There are plenty parks at stepps to go round and Cambria are very much part of that and unlike the students, they pay their way, so its in the commercial interests of the Univertsity to keep Cambria part of things.

decker, the only people who think that your league is better than the cally is the people from your league, no point getting to the last 8 if u cant win, its all about opinion because there is no hard evidence to suggest any league is better than the other except from the central,you lot lost your shining light with st pats.
maybe teams from either league can step up and do something this year.

ty123 you obviously know a good bit aobut the various leagues. Just as a supporter of amatuer football I don't know the details of each league but have seen a lot of games in the caley. Always been impressed by the pitches I've visited - not loads but theyv'e all been high standard. Behaviour and attitide and beahviour always looked dsiciplined. Teams obviously want to win majors and league will be judged my many only on these big wins. Looks as if clubs looking to join the caley see it as progress in some ways and their teams seem to be doing ok in the big cups this year. Seen a good few central games as well. The best have been excellent but watched others in the first and seconds divisions and wasnt always impressed by standrad. Apart from very top teams I think youre judging the standards better than most.

'unlike the students'

do you have concrete evidence that the students do not pay their way for using stepps?
i was a student player for some years and every year i paid my annual fee of £25 to the student sports union which was our way of paying for stepps!! on average the SUFC (students) have roughly 60-80 students join the sports union so at its lowest the SUFC is putting in £1,500 to the sports union and this is how they pay their way. the students also gain sponsorship and have fundraisers which some of the money go to the sports union which pays for the league fee's etc, to add to this when the 1st team was mailny made up of graduates than students they had to pay a higher rate of £40 to join the sports union. just wanted to add that in so that people know the students pay their way to use the parks at stepps.

goalmachine79 - what 4G park you using just now ? and whos gonnae build you a 4G indoor ? just curious.

we play at k.park east kilbride. after being asked by ekfc to join up with them they unveiled plans to build another two 4g parks and a 10.000 seater stadium up east kilbride. we will be known as EKFC Whitehills next season. as far as i know when the new parks are ready, that is where we will play our home games. the younger teams who are involved with ekfc will use k.park. just rumours as far as im concerned that we are joining the caley...

ffs nearly pissed ma pants. an amateur team with 10,000 seater haha,your at the wind up ya crazy horse

airdrie united have a 10,000 seater an canny even get 1 stand full.

calm yourself danny.... the stadium they are building is for a professional team not us. alot of rumours that clyde are moving to east kilbride so it could be them. they want a pro team in east kilbride in the next 5 years. we will get the choice of indoor or outdoor 4g every home game as far as i know.

Who's going to be paying for this goal machine ? Don't want to burst your bubble mate but you ever thought someone's pulling your plunger ?

Mate if it happens I'll apologize to you but I think it's a but far fetched I mean even SPL teams don't get 10000 and you don't need a 10000 sweater stadium anymore to play in SPL.

Either way I can see the attraction - all the best with it.

the stadium is nothing to do with us mate its to do with a pro team that will eventually be in ek. no-ones pulling my plunger.... its regulary in the ek news (paper) and also k.park, where we play our home games, the plans for the stadium are up on the wall....as i said its heehaw to do wae whitehills, the 3g parks are for us and the other amateur team EKFC (safl)

ive heard about it too - 6000 seater I got told though. Grass park inside it with 4g parks outside.

Fair play goalmachine - still think its a waste of moneys clyde or any team outwith spl wont even fill 2000 never mind 6000 but as far as the 3G pitches well that can only do the amatuer game good along with the kids, training as well during the bad months. Hope it happens.

yeah the plans do look great. they are hoping to get the 4g pitches set up in 18 to 24 months.... just need to wait and see

We all know the Keans have got a lot of money to burn, and they're very ambitious. Maybe too ambitious, but they do have plans for Clyde FC. (Not that their loyal fans will follow them to East Kilbride, I've heard too many refusing already)
