calmac25 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Congratulations on proving that this can be achieved with 12months of hard work! http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/resources/documents/ClubLicensing/2015/040615CL%20current%20status.xls Sfa updated their table yesterday which doesn't include bsc or cumbernauld as members but confirms that Edinburgh and Glasgow unis plus coldstream have an entry level licence too. Vale of leithen s was refused and still no news on Stirling uni Junior clubs have kept their licence despite remaining outside the pyramid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 So Vale of Leithen could be out of the LL for 2015/16, if they don't get that sorted in July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigyboy Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 No idea LTL....not sure how many teams are still to gain membership... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 In the SFA's spreadsheet it says they were refused on May 15th and are under review on July 15th and currently fail on both the ground and legal/admin/finance & codes. Would have thought the latter is potentially a lot trickier to deal with than the former, if it involves accounts being in order. Maybe the 15 clubs at the moment is in anticipation of 14 for 2015/16 and VoL are expected to have to go into a juniors style abeyance for a season? Glasgow Uni are listed as having entry level, so reaching 16 would have been easy for the LL board, if they were keen to do it. Worth noting that Cove Rangers are also listed as refused for the HL, so it will be interesting to see what unfolds in July. They seem to think they will still be playing next season despite that. Maybe helps that the new president of the SFA is from their club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they've not seriously tried to address the failed issues meantime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Are we assuming Glasgow uni are going to be playing their 1st team games out of airdrie then? Or perhaps firhill? I'd assume Cove's convoluted groundsharing deal perhaps gets them through 15-16? Maybe they've not seriously tried to address the failed issues meantime? Maybe the arrangements are the very reason no award? Tbh they should be refused as I can't see how their arrangements can meet the requirements.

LongTimeLurker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Are we assuming Glasgow uni are going to be playing their 1st team games out of airdrie then? Or perhaps firhill? Wonder if they can get away with that only being Scottish Cup games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I would be surprised if it wasn't used for their Caledonian AFL matches as well? If you could get licensed with a groundshare but only use it for Scottish Cup ties everyone could be signing-up with licensed grounds for that purpose? I mean where would you draw the line. Every club and their uncle could be going out signing leases to share licensed grounds for what would likely be no more than 1 or 2 ties a season, sometimes 0. Coldstream did a big public PR exercise when there was a local plebiscite on redeveloping Home Park... One of their FAQs was why they couldn't use Shielfield or Kelso RFC for SFA purposes and leave the public park alone - and the answer was that it applied to the first-team venue, not just Scottish Cup ties. I can't think of another example which corroborates that but it would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Wonder if they can get away with that only being Scottish Cup games now. It's curious, surely for a licence to be granted they can't get away with that? It would be a little silly to give a team a licence but them only play a game (or if drawn away maybe even none) at their (licensed) home ground. Teams have played games away from their normal ground but surely special dispensation cant be granted every 2nd saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Maybe the arrangements are the very reason no award? Tbh they should be refused as I can't see how their arrangements can meet the requirements. Their current ground was what failed them and the arrangements now in place I think postdate that.

cmontheloknow Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Possibly, but that doesn't necessarily mean the new arrangements have been accepted I don't think they have but the applications are dated and they were last assessed in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Interesting to read the minutes of last years East Region JFA AGM that Selkirk made an inquiry regarding membership but it was after the cut-off date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
