Looking at the Quality Mark scheme, especially the higher tiers tends to find familiar names that have entered senior age sides over the years. The new set-up will look impressive (via G streetview) and doing a random on-line search a while ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The Lowland League promised that applications would be treated with the same discretion as the notifications of interest, so they are correct not to name any club who has applied as nobody has yet been formally approved. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer1969 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 On 07/04/2020 at 13:11, cmontheloknow said: South of Scotland League grew out of the Southern Counties League (which was initially formed by Dumfries & Galloway FA members.) Name was changed to SoS League after WW2 to allow for the reserves of Killie and Ayr as they were not Southern Counties FA members. Why Kello never played Southern Counties League football I know not. Were they in a Junior league in Dumfriesshire (which did exist) prior to joining the South Ayrshire League in 1921? Edit: answering myself, they were. https://www.oocities.org/br1anmccoll/dumfriesjuniorfootball.htm Interesting to see the league's make-up when Kello last committed to Junior football in their own region (and lasted 2 seasons before going north at end of 1920-21): Remember my late dad mentioning Hoddam Rangers, although i think that would have been either a later incarnation of the team or that the same team still existed into the 1950's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two additional sides are amateur clubs in the West geographical area.

Exactly - not very fair on a club that hasn't publicly announced and then they don't get in anyway. Either the two clubs announce before the next statement or we find out when the Conferences are announced. And if those two clubs aren't accepted we might never know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron Wilson Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 20 hours ago, Stag Nation said: In the last half century, the Highland League (population two man and a dog) has given us five new and surviving SPFL clubs. The rest of Scotland put together has managed three - Annan, Livingston and "Rangers". Apologies if I've missed any. Maybe population isn't the best guide. You missed Edinburgh City. Demographics isn't my strong point but I would have thought Ross County and Inverness benefited from being the only SPFL clubs in a big catchment area and therefore less competition for attracting the best players in the area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
