Burntisland Coldstream is massive next week.

Whitehill 6 games in hand over 9th placed Leith and only 6 behind them. Rather points on the board than play catch up but no bad considering many thought they were in freefall.

Presumably Uni of Stirling EOS will be moving too then. Mayswell just play games at nominated parks on a weekly basis like Glenrothes done last week. To me that is far worse than making clubs move because changing rooms aren't suitable.

I've stated that for years. Providing they get to keep the best players, relegation to absolutely run riot in a far inferior league where they could potentially be 2 games away from a LL return or a struggle in the West Premier. It's a no brainer for them. There's more issues with the pyramid system than just B teams.

Im not doubting clubs having to fundraise but how many clubs had to fundraise for lights though? That is a massive part of clubs budget and if I recall the SFA set strict deadlines for licensing. Yes I think you are correct there was trouble with the Anderson's,that could be a big factor. There might also have been trouble with a previous committee if I recall. These can't have helped. I think you've also nailed it with the EoSFL expansion. Players might just not fancy travelling to the Borders now when there are so many clubs within the Edinburgh area. GFR in the LL being an exception.

I suspect having to raise funds for lights just to keep a license with no income coming in during Covid has crippled the club. Other clubs have had it easy compared to the Vale.

Good details of fixture list here. How did you find/manage it? Can you do a WW one please?

Certainly hope so Jack certainly steadied the ship with some decent signings. Playing some good football.

Glenrothes will push Dunbar all the way for sure. Decent point for the Welfare after going behind early.

no not on that route

I was sat in the front coach of the train.

I was on the 1212 from Waverley,there might have been a couple fans heading to Galashiels sitting across from me.

Games in hand can only aim and climb higher. Foundations building well for next season.

I can see why the poster is frustrated though as its certainly a blow for Star promotion hopes.

Entertaining game, probably WW best performance of the season, maybe WW were just better on the day.

Regionalise all the B teams and stick them in the bottom leagues. Let them work their way up the pyramid like every other new entrants have to do. Simple really.

That idea would severely deplete the HL?

I travelled to Kinnoull for the ref to call it off wi both teams on the park ready to kick off. Conditions and temperatures then were improving unlike tonight.,should've been called off earlier considering the forecast.

Fair enough there's that much of a backlog on the previous page, plus I've not had much to shout about over the past few seasons. I've amended accordingly

Whitehill 2 Preston 0. A comfortable win for WW tonight in baltic conditions under the lights at Ferguson Park sees the Welfare progress to play either Edinburgh College or Craigroyston for a place in the quarter final.

How many entrants in this years cup? Is it getting bigger by the season? An all in from the start Scottish would be great. Would give teams that play each other 4 times a season in the SPFL a chance of visiting somewhere different. Might be some dodgy scorelines though BUT thats for another day...... HG wants to talk football and the 3 cups.

The amount of clubs eligible for the Scottish Cup through licensing would otherwise state its hardly a closed shop now though. There's a lot more clubs than ever can play in it.

Yes it is by all means worthwhile having the 3 winners having a small tourney. Gives a more variety of teams to get some (more) silverware on the board. A decent crowd last night as well I see from your report. That can only be good for the non league game.
