Tried and failed to threaten Kelty with the same line as noted above. The fact they never put forward a motion to make a year's notice across all leagues a requirement, just shows how little regard they had for Kelty making their move last year. They never saw this coming because they were complacent enough to think they could write their own ticket if they absolutely had to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 From the Juniors forum, looks like they've gone for a sequential split, left to right with the EoS and right to left for the Juniors. Sauchie and Oakley confirmed as well, unless this is some roaster who has printed this off for a laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born To Run Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If that picture is legit, Conference B looks a cracker! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Truthteller has made some claims previously that turned out not to be the case, so wouldn't take it as gospel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to wish all clubs well whether staying/going and look forward to next year with anticipation and belief we are moving in the right direction. Onto new grounds and new friends. Wouldnt mind being in a conference with Lighty, Nitten & Boness though My worry is 16 be too many as league has to get done for playoffs. 14 would be better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If it is just sequential, the possibility of it being a fake is that on the march 31st deadline the EoS discussed balancing conferences with clubs with floodlights. That was then there were 26 teams, maybe 39 has solved that concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason King Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 It may be bunkum but it looks a very sensible way of mixing the teams together - splitting the EoS and East Junior clubs based on their performance in the previous season (17-18) and then adding on the clubs from outside that area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make it 6 - 5 - 4 as far as lights are concerned, might be wrong, could be 5 in Conf C 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be a fantastic year for all the clubs in the East of Scotland League. Well done everyone concerned. I hope that the EoSL issues a formal statement tonight or early tomorrow morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know people are watching with interest & have handled things incredibly well so far from a communication standpoint, particularly compared with other leagues & associations. They've had a 'watch this space' banner on their website for at least a day now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason King Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 No, the picture of the supposed leagues contains Conference A, Conference B and Conference B (again) - the teams in the Two B's (or not to be, that is the question) are different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Wouldn't they draw it at the meeting? The photos might just be examples of how it's going to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I wouldn't imagine they would "draw" it It will be done a bit more professionally than that, I actually think the picture which has been circulated looks reasonable and fair, will be a great battle for top 5 places in all 3 leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Why draw it at the meeting when there have been various examples floating around here for the past week or so? Present clubs with the options for next season with the teams already listed on them, showing clubs where they will be in terms of the "conference" and who they will be playing. Ask them which one is best and take a vote. Majority wins. Simples. I believe its only the existing EoS clubs who will get to vote on it anyway, which is the correct way to do things.

I wasn't meaning a random draw - just thinking they might decide which conference E1, E2, E3 goes into, then J1, J2, J3 etc. It would avoid any accusations it had been engineered to suit a particular party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
