Shitebags. No ambition. What is it then 2 leagues of 18

Disgusting you joined the. EOS and seem to be enjoying you football thats fine. Calling people shitebags because they do not share your opinion is well out of order. Clubs will make their own decisions as where they want to compete and enjoy their football it is absolutely none of your business.

Alan fae just outside Falkirk, take the West Lothian teams out of your conference C and you have teams who collectively their travelling fans wouldn’t fill a double decker, how does that that sustain interest for your club. Surely you miss Sauchie, Bo’ness, Lithgae plus the other West Lothian teams with decent travelling supporters. ?????

At the time that Camelon made the decision to move to the EoS their average attendance was 95. That was as a East Region Super League club. So far their average attendance up to mid-January was close to average that.

Basically, Camelon aren't the best example to say that the old East Super League was packed to capacity and the EoS has two men and a dug.

Also their attendance should be up in the EOS Premier next season. Will be a very competitive league, with plenty of big teams for this level.

I daresay any lack of fans (if that is actually the case) will be offset by the money they'll get for entering the Scottish Cup next season. And there's interest from winning two trophies, they are a game away from another QF, plus having a full season fixture, an under 20s league - all while looking forward to the EOS Premier next season and trying to get their SFA licence.

Could be drawn away up north or down south in the prelims and lose.....not much cash in that.

From one of your earlier posts lowenan

The most likely scenario is that  Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic are promoted to the Lowland League, and that Whitehill Welfare are reprevied. Thus giving an EOS Premier 2019/20 of:

1    Linlithgow Rose      
2    Penicuik Athletic   
3    Dundonald Bluebell
4    Broxburn Athletic    
5    Hill of Beath Hawthorn 
6    Bo'ness United 
7    Camelon Juniors 
8    Newtongrange Star   
9    Sauchie Juniors   
10   Jeanfield Swifts    
11  Musselburgh Athletic
12 Dunbar United
13 Tranent Juniors
14  Leith Athletic
15 Preston Athletic
16 Crossgates Primrose

If its an eighteen team league for Fauldhouse next season how many do they think the Fife teams like Lochgelly, Lochore, Kirkcaldy, Rosyth, Newburgh, Thornton, Glenrothes and Thornton will bring?

Indeed. That is the most likely EOS Premier next season. Will be a very competitive and interesting league.

True, but apart from travelling to Banks o'Dee or the West/Junior Cup winners it's unlikely they'd go on a long journey and lose in PR1.

Eighteen team EOS junior league south.:whistle

And also a north league with a big spread of teams - imagine the carnage when Lochee play Coupar Angus...

That alone shows why it's madness to have 2 different non-league systems in the same area, regardless whether or not they are in the pyramid. Results like Coupar Angus 0-18 Broughty Athletic a few weeks ago are not what we need. The point of a pyramid is not just to give teams the chance to move up. It's about teams being able to play football at what's the right level for them. Having 2 18 team junior leagues in the east would in my opinion have too big difference in standard between teams in the same division. The teams south of the Tay are far better off in the EOS, the poorer junior teams would get more competitive games against the likes of Inverkeithing than getting a drubbing by Fauldhouse or Kennoway imo.

In the same way there should be a proper pyramid access for the teams north of the Tay divide as well.

Totally undeserved for jc1 considering the way he's come on here and openly debated the future for his club and listened to lots of different opinions.  That type of comment is not the way to go about convincing clubs to leave the juniors.

I think he deserves credit for the way he's posted on here recentlu regardless of what decision his club makes.

Our average attendance is up. Lithgae and brox in our conference. Lithgae attendance was 415 this season to 250 in the juniors why because it was organised for a Saturday. Plus we wI'll be playing all the teams u mention next season

Ha ha ha, gogsy, you didn’t read post right. I said COLLECTIVELY, meaning whole league. Apart from aforementioned teams, Armadale, Whitburn, Fauldhouse, Bathgate would INDIVIDUALLY bring more fans to each game, meaning more revenue. You talk and post a lot on this JUNIOR site but most of it is SHITE

Armadale and whitburn had 100 for a derby game I'm sure they wouldn't be bringing much to Camelon
