EXCLUSIVE: West of Scotland League promotion and relegation to be AXED amid kick off chaos

The West of Scotland League is set to have no promotion or relegation this season if clubs pull-out of the new set-up.

It was revealed today that 14 clubs wish to withdraw from the divisions before a ball has been kicked on October 24.

Multiple sources have confirmed to Lanarkshire Live Sport that the league have tabled a plan to axe promotion and relegation between the Premier Division and Conference groups if even one club walks away.

It is understood this has been communicated to clubs this week by the Interim Management Group with one source at a Lanarkshire side claiming "we are just expected to play glorified friendlies now with no reward."

However, at this stage clubs can still be promoted from the Premier Division to the Lowland League.

This follows the news today that the October 24 start date was narrowly 36 to 31 vote from the 67 clubs.
