Just add some preliminary rounds like we do in England? Pretty much every club up to non league level 6 in England is in the FA Cup (that's 10 levels all in). But not level 11, which includes hundreds of clubs. They still draw a line somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest gossip is that they're looking to build something on the back pitches of Murrayfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surely not! Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Edinburgh United switched a league game against us to there about 4 or 5 seasons ago, it was on the 3G the other side of the hockey pitch to where the facilities are, players had to get changed and walk across that hockey pitch so surely it cant be there? it's just a 3G cage with a couple of steps down the far side. There are also two other grass pitches, but again a distance from the facilities and probably wouldn't comply. It surely has to be the rugby pitch, aren't Edinburgh Rugby moving back to Murrayfield there next season just leaving Boroughmuir? Think the cage might not actually be too dissimilar to the set up that leith use at peffermill but the mention of facilities and stadium implies it’s the position of the rugby pitch. The Astro on the back of the pitch ( with its own stand) is a 2g hockey pitch so can’t be there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great move for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It's starting to look more likely that we'll end up with Threave being promoted this season. Not a great outcome for anyone involved as Threave resigned not too long ago from the Lowland League. One of the problems with having the SoS at tier six. Far from over and Kelty still have a good chance here but LTHV have beaten them every time so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz5 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I see there are a couple of people in the Juniors forum talking about a "licence embargo until further notice". Doesn't seem to say any such thing on the SFA licensing site, assume this is not actually true? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either invented bollocks for scaremongering, or a misunderstanding of Junior clubs not being able to get licenced outwith the pyramid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevsmart Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I think that there is a football pitch round the back of the rugby pitch stand, which Tynecastle will use, if the story is true 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have been at the wrong side of the Tay given the LL/HL boundary, although back in the day Arbroath reserves played in the EOSL the most Northern team I can think of in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EOs league tables page on Brian McColls site hasnt been reuploaded since the site web address was changed so havent been able to see previous league tables for a while. 1969-1971, 1975-1976 EDIT: Even though they down as being a member for 1975-76, they don't appear on that season's league table. So potentially just the 2 seasons 1969-70 & 1970-71. Edited April 22, 2018 by FairWeatherFan League Table update 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Heard that it's "several" Fife clubs who have applied, seems to confirm the rumours of the three Juniors (Crossgates, Dundonald, Hill of Beath, + Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts) But looks like Sauchie won't be applying: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db11 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 fair point. Glad we wont be going there next season though! Feckin trek and a half. Bonnyrigg were up there last season and everyone got soaked. No cover!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If clubs such as Burntisland, Civil Service Strollers, Coldstream, Newton Stewart etc can get Licenced then anyone can. It might take time, and it will take money, but grant aid is available. They should be providing cover and decent toilets anyway as a matter of course for a Superleague club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish Football Partnership provide upto £10k for EoS clubs, the EoSFL themselves provide upto £3k for ground improvements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
