Seems a no brainer, although they'd need to improve on the pitch to be competitive, although they might attract better players if they make the move. Out of interest, how welcome would the East of Scotland clubs be to the Juniors? Any objections to any of the teams (the uni teams, in particular) if they were to apply? How strict are the ground regulations (I'm guessing not very) and would all of the teams meet the regulations? I know of the remaining teams have basic facilities. How have Easthouses and Craigroyston been received? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of the remaining teams have basic facilities. How have Easthouses and Craigroyston been received? Easthouses and Craigroyston have both been very well received, Easthouses have made great strides with ground improvements and Craigroyston have a great playing surface. I think both clubs are happy with the move. The SJFA are as flexible as they can be with ground criteria as they want to encourage clubs to join, not refuse them unless the ground really isn't anywhere upto scratch. As for grounds which meet requirements currently, I haven't been to them all but looking at the pics, Burntisland, Ormiston (when finished), Coldstream and Eyemouth would all either meet or be near enough. Saughton as well but I doubt either of the two clubs would move to the Juniors. Leith Athletic I think would struggle (changing rooms not inside ground?) as would Peebles (fencing issues?), not sure about the Uni teams. Tweedmouth may have the same issue as Leith, although I doubt they'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I am aware of, I guess there could have been in the Border Junior League days about a century or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
