Heard today it might no just be Dalkeith joining for next season, anyone know of any other club making enquiries?

I didn't think clubs would come across in groups seeing as there only one promotion slot. Until something confirmed though I think it will be trickle effect for the juniors for now

I see on the amateur forum that Stirling Uni are joining the Caledonian league.  Could that be the EoS team moving over or is it a new uni team?

Last I heard they ran about 6 teams anyway, with 3rd and 4th XI playing ammy.

• Our ambition is to have all Members licenced as soon as possible and thereby automatically in the Scottish Cup every year.
• Very likely more promotion places will be available to enter the Lowland League from Tier 6
• Depending on interest from that area a possible West Of Scotland division would be looked at for tier 6

If that happens, and LTHV get their club licence soon now that they have the covered enclosure in place:

the danger of one of the bigger junior superleague clubs getting stuck in the EoS for many seasons if they make the switch is minimised.

He was totally disrespectful to the league, volunteers who run clubs and players/staff, not on.

I defy any league to withstand what’s happened to the EOS, in the name of progress. The LL really fucked it up. Teams pulling out or leaving didn’t help neither. Clubs are now doing their utmost to gain license, ploughing any spare cash into it, meaning players aren’t perhaps getting what they used too. Your club has been brave, a breath of fresh air and a welcomed addition, with other clubs monitoring your progress and hopefully following suit, you just keep fighting oor corner :thumsup2

The EOSL have done well to get back on track and attract new members after losing so many sides to the LL. I was one of the folk who thought it was the end for the league but attracting the likes of Kelty has raised the profile of the EOSL.

UCS Trust members have voted to seek to return Clydebank FC to senior football.

The ballot resulted in 86% in favour of applying to join a league within the Scottish FA pyramid.

The UCS board will now look at different options before a meeting of all members in the near future.

It's the only other candidate.
Hopefully this can spur discussion of a WoSFL at tier 6, but organising a brand new league for next season would be too much to ask.
There was no time frame set in the statement. Setting up a WOS league for next season is unachievable but there are at least two other big junior clubs in the West who are interested in the idea. I would be surprised if discussions between West clubs aren't taking place just now about the feasibility of it.
