It's an opinion I get the impression the Lithgae followers are becoming increasingly tetchy because their cub never applied and could be left behind.

Sorry, not my problem. Not in the slightest - I believe in sporting integrity and progression in the proper manner. I do concede that I fully believe the SFA/SJFA have done very little and that has resulted in teams diluting leagues at a higher level than playing ability merits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, not my problem. Good misquote...... "their CUB never applied". Or were you referring to Bo'ness as being "their CUB" ? Seriously though, is there likely to be much, if any feedback, from tonight's meeting ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitburn Vale Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Aye,lithgae are giving it the wait and see attitude while watching the ship sail out of the dock into the distance. To be fair the vast majority of there poster's on here are pro-pyramid and are not best pleased with their clubs stance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down then and wait for Linlithgow to join the EOSFL Division 2/3 next season and you can work your way up in the proper manner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that the EOS might not accept all this year's applicants but there has been so much speculation about the clubs involved that it would be great if we could see a definitive list of who has applied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be next season, if Linlithgow, and of course Bo'ness, submit late applications to join the EoS. There are still a few 'vacancies' as the EoS would apparently have accepted 2 x 16 divisions for 2018/19. It is difficult for clubs to influence the 'seniors' from the outside, but is theoretically easier from the inside.

( Apparently Kelty submitted their application late last year) I suspect if there are interested parties in terms of a late application, they’ll be discussed at this meeting today. Can’t see the EoS turning down any suitable club that will positively contribute to the league! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzah Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 If any of the teams are ammies like stated (st Bernard and Am soccer ) they would have to put in notice to leave their current associations by now. Cut off is end of Feb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is difficult for clubs to influence the 'seniors' from the outside, but is theoretically easier from the inside. ( Apparently Kelty submitted their application late last year) Unfortunately that won't happen far to many people from Linlithgow are still on page one of the argument - ill informed over the implications of any decision stay or go and a club unwilling to have the conversation. I am not a fan of the concept - that said I have read the argument and listened to HTG, I have come to the conclusion that participation is the only viable option as we move forwards. As stated previously I believe the SFA, SJFA and EoS have completely messed the whole thing up. The SFA/SJFA for their lack of action since the LL was introduced. The EoS (for me) aren't helping by allowing open applications from the Dog and Duck upwards. I understand their stance in looking after number one by increasing their numbers - how that improves the football has me beat - players follow money. Bonnyrigg will be a strong acquisition of the others mentioned I don't see many that will immediately improve from the move or the EoS. Hey Ho - it's all about opinions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also could leave a team in the amateurs as their reserves in which case there is no need for notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
