If Fauldhouse or anyone else want to sign up, then so be it. The LL/Committee will ultimately determine where they play whether it's East or West.

If Beith and Hurlford express an interest or apply I am sure there will be a rational decision process made to allow them entry. Given the success the EoS made with the influx of teams to the East and conferencing team I'd expect a similar outcome. No clubs will be treated greater than another but there will need to be certain standards and requirements met.

What if the whole of the South decided it wanted to join the new WoSL?

I think that is their aim. Looking at floodlights by all accounts.

SOSFL happy with a West League at T6 EoSFL and SSL don't agree with them at T6 Is that what I'm reading?

You've read wrong. Derogation for current members. No license for new applicants without.

My understanding is that any new applications (in progress or received by 31/12) Will have until the licensing review in 2021 to have lights in place.

Any clubs without can put in a derogation. Emails out this evening.

Funnily enough, there was a discussion on this on Sunday at Hampden post the Child Wellbeing Meeting (Licensing Requirement). It was made abundantly clear by the SFA rep that East Juniors will not be joining at the same level as EoS.

I can also confirm that Burnieman is correct.

The SSFL has the potential for 5 (if Dalbeattie are to be relegated from the LL) Licensed clubs for next season. If there was to be a WoSFL, surely these clubs currently in the system have 1st refusal to join the new setup, but even at that, is it fair they get to jump from T6 to T5? I don't believe so. The whole discussion is fascinating, but rushing it is not going to work!

I have no idea? Would have thoughts the lights they have were suitable enough

There is a lot of hard work to get to the entry level, but with good governance and planning it can be achieved and maintained.

Floodlights are not required at Entry level.

It's for Wigtown / SoSFL to release details as/when seen fit.

There was a South of Scotland meeting this week to discuss and deal with it.

It's quite a disservice to the SoSFL if being honest. We're hampered by being a small populated area within the 2nd largest county in Scotland. Ideally, there would be an SOS West League, but even that would bring its issues. We're also hampered by Newton Stewart and Wigtownshire Rugby Clubs who attract a lot of promising footballers. I'm sure Wigtown will be back, and many will hope that's the case. Who knows what the future holds? But, while the pyramid system is a short term success in my eyes, it has plenty of flaws and needs to adapt to the Geography of Scotland and it's inhabitants. Will it happen. I doubt it.
