Makes the application that much easier as you'd be looking for 16 out 20+ and as they're mainly based in the EoS it's easy to base on league standings. SoSFL vs.EoS First is still advantage EoS but isn't as dramatic. Can totally understand them going that route for a LL2. Thankfully they've got a WOSFL on the agenda first though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Fauldhouse have announced an 'urgent' committee meeting for 14/2. Wonder how much love is in the air!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont see the point in a LL2 other than to keep the uni teams and vale of leithen at an artificially high level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of attractive fixtures for west junior fans geographically, local derbies, and glasgow v ayrshire, we already have a good product, top league and some championship attendances, are more than a match as well, don't get the big push for this, wouldn't cross the road to watch buffs v nithsdale at tier 7 if we were to amalgamate, or v Dalbeattie star at tier 6, sorry not for me, by the time any team achieved SPL2 via the present set up we would be bored to deathwhat So if tj persuades rod that it’s a mistake and not to back what the ll is doing. The outcome for the west clubs is another year outside the pyramid. That’s the reality folks don’t see an upside for the clubs in current scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eosfl.com in the committee section for the league has an email for David Baxter, believe he's still Secretary for both EoS and LL so could point you in right direction for both considerations.

If controlled by Lowland League in the first instance would they allow a Lothians side in? If ERSJA southern clubs now opt for the EoS then, at least, they will know where they stand for the years to come and can plan accordingly.

Entry Criteria and Application Forms for membership of the East of Scotland Football Association and the East of Scotland Football League can be accessed here and here and when complete should be submitted to - leaguesecretary@eastofscotlandfa.co.uk Currently, the member clubs are being canvassed on league structure for next season, which will either be no change (ie new entrants would start in one of the Conferences), or move to a Premier - First - Second set-up with new entrants starting in the Second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jc comes on here and posts genuinely asking for advice and gets a hostile reaction from you. You do it to others as well. Clubs have stayed junior for various reasons and are gradually moving over. They should be accommodated in the seniors like the EoS have done not told "You didn't have the nerve to join so get to the bottom of the queue". FWIW I think they should join the EoS not WoS just don't see the need for replies like your one. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the logic in a WoSFL going down the road of accepting clubs from EoS territory eg. West Lothian. If that was the case, Blackburn could apply to WoS to safeguard tier 6 next season, and probably be guaranteed entry given we're a Licenced club. It would get messy. Makes no sense, there's needs to be a Salt n Sauce line between EoS and WoS. I'm sure there will be more than enough interest from genuine west area clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it works out well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
