Lochee United retweeting this and the comment on the EOS twitter does suggests talks are ongoing for Tayside as well. That matches with what I've heard through the grapevine over here. I have no idea in which direction those talks are heading and in what way they hope/expect Tayside will be in the pyramid, but here is hoping it will be resolved in the near future... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Lochee deserve a route into the pyramid, but the problem is they put all their eggs in the SJFA basket hoping they'd find a way to get them in. Now, talking of boundaries - can we get an application from the amateurs of Drymen United to test whether all of Stirling Council = EOS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally at this stage, I just want in the pyramid, one way or the other. I'm not too bothered anymore where exactly. I just want this speculation and mud-throwing to end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that's already a given after the Dave Baikie podcast interview and doesn't involve a boundary shift, so don't think it fits this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always create new minefields to navigate - promotion and relegation between the EOSFL and the amateur leagues - which would establish a functioning pyramid which links with the grassroots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 The other East Junior clubs should be allowed to join the EOS. it’s the same distance to Lochee as it is to Tayport so I don’t see an issue really. Localise as the leagues get lower to make sure it isn’t too much financial stress. Lochee to Eyemouth is two hours but Lochee to Wick is double that journey. There’s a reason the North is mainly Inverness and above. Feel really sorry for these clubs. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason the North is mainly Inverness and above. Feel really sorry for these clubs. Lochee to Wick is a tier 5 journey so not the same as comparing it to a tier 6/7 trip to Eyemouth. Or even Berwick in tier 5, which is the same as a trip to Rothes. At tier 6 Lochee would be playing in a Tayside League or in a North Superleague made up of Tayside and mainly Aberdeen clubs. Once they have floodlights, a licence and a league win then they can get promoted to the HL. By that point the make up of the HL will have changed - Brechin might have joined, Fort William probably relegated out, Banks o'Dee possibly in there as well.

There’s a reason the North is mainly Inverness and above. Wick are one club and the most extreme outlier in the Highland League. That's one league game a season. It's amazing how many are scared of that prospect. It's the same nonsense of Elgin on a wet Tuesday. As for North of Inverness do you mean actually North of Inverness travel wise? Because if you do that's only 2/17 clubs in the Highland League (Wick and Brora). Or geographically Northern to Inverness which would include the likes Fraserburgh who are basically on the East coast? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
