xnxx Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Could be a sign that St Bernards have EoS ambitions. If the number of EoS applicants does include 2 amateur clubs, as previously suggested on this theme, then the other club could be AM Soccer (Fife) AFC, who are currently riding high in the Kingdom of Fife Premier League. AMS is an ambitious club which was interested in joining the Lowland League, before it reached its full compliment of 16 clubs, and it wouldn't be surprising if this club was now seeking to join the EoS. Does anyone have knowledge of this, or any other amateur club, which may have an aspiration to join the EoL ? And what are Am Soccer going to bring to the table? Pitch is terrible, changing rooms aren't that great either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But could be built, again if you have aspirations to step up then well done to that club. Riordan's just signed for St.Bernards, whether that's short term to help them win the league this season or not remains to be seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely asking if anyone had any information about the rumoured application of 2 amateur teams. Have you got any info about this ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Interesting, didn't even know Inverkeithing had a team, but it makes sense that a club is playing football at Ballast Bank. Need to do quite a bit of work to get the ground licensed, but I suppose they are unlikely to get to the Lowland League in the short-term.

I took in Camelon vs Broughty Athletic today (and it was a decent game too!) - had a brief chat with the guy that runs their social media, and his understanding was that 13 Junior clubs in total have applied. Can't remember his name for the life of me sadly, but top bloke. Seems like we're beginning to get some clarity now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right in saying it's the Highland Games stadium overlooking the ship-breakers and Forth bridges? It was used by the Junior side Jubilee Athletic before became they relocated and became Rosyth Recreation and subsequently straightforward Rosyth? Possibly it was more complicated, IIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Clydebank for 2018/19, given the redevelopment of their ground at Holm Park. It is rumoured that the West club is Dunipace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Inverkeithing Hillfield would be a great addition , good setup with potential for strong fan base , mind of watching the ammy team play st andrews at Auchtermuchty in some cup final years ago , think they brought 3 or 4 double deckers of supporters , ( st andrews won though ) but all the same sure a good support would be welcome at any home teams ground 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hillfield swifts would be a good addition.Incredible to think kelty,Burntisland, inverkeithing,rumoured crossgates and if relegated Cowdenbeath could all potentially be playing each other next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used by the Junior side Jubilee Athletic before became they relocated and became Rosyth Recreation and subsequently straightforward Rosyth? Possibly it was more complicated, IIRC. Ayes its where the nomadic jubilee played after leaving Cowdenbeath in the 1970s (there was a story on all their grounds in a recent Cowden programme). As Gogsy mentioned they had a few years at Pitreavie in the early 90s before moving to Rosyth and their name change. Bit of a push calling it a stadium more of a sports field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Hamish Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 15 applications and there's a meeting on Thursday of the applicants with EoS officials. In Edinburgh I'm told. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Article just has it down as Ballast Bank can only presume its the same ground with just a different name. The Jube really got around Ladysmill (now McKane Park), Rex Park, Townhill. Central Park and North End Park Cowdenbeath, Ballast Bank and Pitreavie. The last ever Cowdenbeath based Junior side.

stulch Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 So if there were 28 teams next season, two leagues of 14 with each playing each other once. Created by very rough seeding, top, one division, second and third the other, fourth same division as the top one etc. etc. Then the top seven of each in the 14 team first division, bottom seven of each in the 14 team second division. Results carried forward between teams who find themselves in the same division again. The remainder of the home and away fixtures are then completed for the first and second divisions. Just an idea and of course there might not end up being 28 teams. Seven extra fixtures compared to a home and away 14 team league. So 33 fixtures for each team overall. 26 counting towards the final positions in the first division and the second division as would normally be the case. Promotion and relegation at the end of the season, two up, two down. 2019/20 is then simple league fixtures for each club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
