Mmmm, 7th placed team in Div 2 gets promoted into Div 1...I bet Winslow is very happy. But, sort of bullshit if you asked me.

I ain't and a few others. Bull$hit we were put in that div anyway as well as not getting promoted under same circumstances as Woodson. I don't agree with it but if I felt we were equipped as we could have been I wouldn't mind but we aren't so I don't. Frankly couldn't give a to$$ what anyone else thinks either way. I think it was a pile of $hit Tik Tok got away with it 2 seasons. And Kings Langley lied about getting lights and got away with it until they did, not to mention the lines of sun postal, Amersham Cranfield (before last 12 months or so) and Stony getting away with poor facilities and or league positions. Don't matter anyway cos committe blew it and we will get relegated anyway.

Pete, was reading that earlier today and that's what made me post about Winslow!!!

 

I'm sorry, but a 7th placed team getting promoted is just wrong. Just like bringing back Tik Tok last year into Div 1. If it was all about facilities, then why didn't Southill Alexander get put into Div 1 when they applied? It's pretty obvious that the SSMFL is a closed knit political group, looking after their mates.

I shouldn't think anyone at Winslow likes this anymore than anyone else but the league have done this for sound reasons and just possibly as a nod to the injustice performed previously but I doubt it. In any case it is a pragmatism to avoid teams kicking their heels in an uneven league and Winslow have stepped up to the plate as asked. At some point people could stop giving them and the league s hit and if by some chance Winslow really are going to be a walkover then enjoy the points.

 

Whoever Tokyngton are forming a relationship in the future whatever strengths that other club may have enjoyed has just been dragged down to the lowest common denominator and the league having made a mistake twice would be criminal to allow it the third time.

 

Good Luck to Winslow, thems the breaks. You get handed a bit of luck but then you have to convert it into success!

Winslow requested the promotion. The clubs voted on it and they got about 95% in favour.

I don't think that means everyone at Winslow requested as I have stated 2 committee members have resigned over what has gone on as I have already stated pretty thoroughly so I won't bore people again. I bet they only voted us in for easy points hahahahaha

So the league did not have a problem with an uneven number of teams in the league if you had not co-opted Winslow in? Are you now saying that this is entirely down to Winslow's avaricious application or just that as most clubs do they apply for promotion at some point during the season in case that they are successful in achieving promotion via the normal route?

 

I find it odd that you are trying to wash out what suited the league HTFCew.

OK, thank you - maybe I can ask you a fact? Did Winslow, along with several others with the appropriate facilities apply for this promotion earlier in the season (maybe at some point in December) when clubs usually do in the expectation that they may have qualified through position or are you able to say that this is not the case and Winslow only applied after they had finished 7th and became aware that there may be a chance of qualifying whilst not through position?

I don't know - I'm not on the league committee and don't get a vote. I was at the AGM as website person to take notes so I could post the awards etc. From where I was sitting it looked like the majority of the dissenters to the vote were committee members. but they have to abide by the clubs' decision on any vote.

[Loose]

Okay HTFCew, maybe Winslow Boy can find out at some point although since you say 95% of the league approved it that sounds like a strong majority.

[ref off ref]

If the SSML did not want an odd number in both Div 1 and Div 2 then rather than promote a team that finished a distant 7th in the latter why instead were Sun Postal not relegated?

They finished bottom of Div 1 by a country mile so surely the obvious would have been to relegate them.

Then at least Tik Tok who by all accounts are taking the p1ss out of the SSML season after season would have ended up deservedly we're they belong too.

Or am I missing summit, do the SSML operate only in the Rhodesworld where common sense does not excist???

We were talking to the league all season about promotion from what I heard we were told 5th no problem but it was hinted that due to restructuring, clubs folding erc the possibility of promotion may still be there. We applied as we did the previous season ASAP in the season. I don't think it's right to be promoted by finishing 7th but the management and players who achieved that position have got their own promotion by moving clubs. The off the field structure, support etc.. Is worthy of any reward in my opinion. however we will struggle this season as we would have in div2 if we had appointed Mercer we could have won div1.

Hmm.. as I supposed then Winslow. But as we've been told now - 95% of member clubs gave it the go ahead and maybe it's time to accept that. From what we've also been told some, many, maybe most of the committee may have, may not have voted the other way. Just seems a bit like Winslow are being hung out to dry a bit Pontius Pilate style.

Haha hope not but we've done a good job of doing that to ourselves.

Well Winslow, if 95% of clubs voted then people need to be asking their clubs why they voted that way. Anyway, nice to see you getting the support, all done and dusted.

Don't worry WB, if you do come bottom past experienced says you won't be relegated anyway
