FairWeatherFan Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 10 hours ago, Robert James said: By bringing the Junior champion clubs, the Junior Cup winners, and the Amateur Cup winners, the SFA has recently played its hand better than it gets credit for. As the Scottish Cup is also open to any UNLICENSED club in the EoS, and the SoS Leagues, if they finish as champions (eg LTHV this season), the SFA should also extend this invitation to the Champions of the North Caledonian League. Or is that this region of Scotland is too remote, too cold/wet, and existing clubs don't fancy an away tie so far north ? Orkney FC has just won the NCL championship for the first time in its history. Who fancies a trip to Kirkwall ? Probably not the SFA. Come on the SFA, get your act together, be inclusive, and give parity to the NCL. To be fair when the SFA was implementing a lot of these changes the NCL was on their arse and didn't deserve equal standing with the likes of EoSFL/SoSFL. There's also the fact that they are tantamount to a amateur league but don't participate in the Amateur Cup to gain a possible entry that way. They've gone from 6-9 clubs in the space of a few years. I'm hoping that if they can make it to 10, someone in the SFA will take notice and use that as a valid excuse to give the league champion entry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balintore FC have posted that they will be applying to rejoin next season. The NCL AGM is unlikely to be held before June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I also think another club has been mentioned as possibly returning to the league for next year (name escapes me). Having Golspie & Fort William in the league as licenced SFA members would really help nudge the league's standing from a quasi-Senior 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the stuff from that article going forward. They've secured the club going forward for now, but there's a meeting on the 24th April to drum up investors. Then on 1st May they'll make their decision about what league they'll go for next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 What are the two competitions that Camelon could be drawn against East Stirlingshire next year? South Challenge Cup and...King Cup, Stirlingshire Cup, SFA Scottish Cup which would indicate getting licenced by this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz5 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 South Challenge and EoS Football Nation Q Cup? Need to be licensed by March 31st I believe to be eligible for the Scottish Cup the season after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering because looking at East Stirlingshire's website the only cup they seem to have been in this year that would apply to Camelon was the South Challenge Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Just now, gogsy said: King cup is just for EOS league teams so not that, Was my best guess on the wikipedia entry for the EoSFL mentioning it was open to all non-SPFL EoSFA members, presuming that East Stirlingshire are one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Was my best guess on the wikipedia entry for the EoSFL mentioning it was open to all non-SPFL EoSFA members, presuming that East Stirlingshire are one. Shire didn't join the EoSFA when they came down, and Lowland League teams no longer enter the King Cup. The two competitions must be the South Challenge Cup and the Scottish Cup, although unless Camelon win the Superleague I don't think they'll be in the Scottish next season, it would be the following provided they're licensed by then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holme Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) I think Camelon have assumed that we play in the football nations cup, the EOSFA's Stirlingshire Cup. But as we are not members of the EOSFA we have not played in it However I think our decision not to play in that cup may have had more to do with our deal with Stennie and that may change next year This is my guess though and not based on anything I have been told Edited April 20, 2018 by holme 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
