Same way Wick has a KW (Kirkwall) postcode, Fort William a PH (Perth) one and Oban a PA (Paisley) one. They're just conveniences for the Royal Mail in organising how they deliver the post, not definitive geographical regions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLad Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Luncarty, Lochgelly, Lochore, Kennoway, Kirkcaldy, Newburgh, Rosyth and Thornton have all formally applied to the league.Was there not an East Lothian team that applied? An amateur team? Or did I dream that?If there is a West Lothian team in there to make up the 9, I'm going for West Calder. Though I want it to be Whitburn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of it being Hearts though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 If it is Edinburgh South where would they play? Their pitches seem to be entirely open playing fields. Edinburgh University is close-by. Maybe they would play there? Anybody know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could even be a possible link up between the two. Fernieside looks as though it would need a lot of development though: http://nonleaguescotland.org.uk/Historic/tynecastle.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black & Red Socks Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 No West Lothian clubs have applied.That is so hugely disappointing but, I guess, entirely unsurprising. This leaves them playing in nothing more than a West Lothian league that will be little different - certainly no better and, in fact, potentially poorer - when compared to their local Saturday and Sunday amateur leagues.Genuinely, I struggle to understand what the thought process is in West Lothian - unless they’ve all applied for the WoSFL? However, geographical integrity as mentioned by the LL/EoSFL during formative discussions on the WoSFL will surely and correctly be a knife to the heart of any such notion? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the hard core have applied en-masse to the new WoS? If so and they are rejected en-masse could there be a co-ordinated bunch of "Exceptional Circumstance" applications to the EoS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I think most of them have got what they always wanted - a local league, for local clubs. Sounds attractive to play. I'm sure the standard of players they attract wont drop.Proper heads in the sand stuff. They may only realise the mistake when it is sadly too late to turn the cruise liner in the canal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
