theref Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 it would appear Lothian and Tynecastle are to share next season ,,,,is this allowed for EOS ? If either team aims to get into the Lowland League is it allowed there ? As Lothian won the league again and yet again cannot move up as they have no Facilities ,,,which will prob mean losing their better players when or if will this ever be resolved ? ps not to mention what state will the pitch be in as its prob the worst in the league at the moment already without sharing on a permanent basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigano Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Both clubs have undertook to maintain the facility as best as possible, but in this climate it's easier said than done. It would take substantial investment for HV to get their own facilities I would have thought...something along the lines of what Spartans have would be ideal.

Derek1234 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The park needs serious work done on it. It's terrible! Hopefully for LTHV and Tynecastle it all works out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest prob for progress is obviously a license for Saughton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tynie1874 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Lothian had a blueprint for years, sport scotland funded. You would think being one of the most successful juvenile teams such a facility would be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Ground sharing in the LL is already done by Stirling Uni (Albion) and BSC Glasgow (Maryhill juniors) Spartans and Spartans EOS is also an example of LL/EOSL dual-use. Queen of the South and Heston Rovers do the same, SPFL/SOSL in that case. Of course within SPFL you have Stenhousemuir and East Stirlingshire sharing. It must be quite a while since 2 EOSL clubs shared I imagine. Would it be when Spartans and Craigroyston both used City Park maybe, so what: mid-1990s? Obviously there was Civil Service Strollers and Edinburgh Athletic (or Leith Athletic as they became) until recently but that was different pitches within a shared complex.

Mr Tee Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 http://m.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/home-improvements-as-lothian-thistle-aim-for-professional-set-up-1-2227285 Detailed plans including 500 seat stand along with new changing and toilets etc. Is this plan dead in the water? Also found document from Edinburgh Council.... I assume everything has stalled in the usual council process of having no money but still meeting and releasing stuff to make it look like they care!

tynie1874 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 They have upgraded sighthill training rooms seen them working on it couple weeks ago as to what they have done with them I'm unsure. So assuming they have started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyGallacher10 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hutchison Vale possibly the best biggest and most well known club within Edinburgh and yet there EOS side havent got the facilities to join the LL? Think they should get the finger out and get it done for a club like Hutchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surely not! Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hutchison Vale possibly the best biggest and most well known club within Edinburgh and yet there EOS side havent got the facilities to join the LL? Think they should get the finger out and get it done for a club like Hutchie Who should get the finger out? Hutchie or the council? Cos if it's the latter then there's any number of teams could then ask for the cash and be entitled to it- starting with City as the top edinburgh side bar hertz and hubz (based on the most recent league standings).
