Nothing has been mentioned officially by the EOS, in fact the teams who have applied haven't been named yet, only the number of applications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holm Park is in West Dunbartonshire, west of the boundary with Glasgow defo. The boundary is just east of the BP petrol station, which is well to the east of Holm Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about showing us a map of Luncarty, with the boundary line ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand to be corrected but I understand that there are no EoS rules which prevent the EoS from deciding to accept a club from the north side of the Tay Bridge line. It's just that it has generally been presumed that, as the rule applies to the Lowland League/Highland League, it also applies to lower Tiers of the pyramid. Guessing that if e.g. Luncarty was accepted into the EoS that they would not be able to gain promotion to the Highland League from the EoS. Similarly Tayport may end up in a Tayside senior Pyramid league some day but they couldn't enter the Lowland League directly from there. However, we shall see what happens! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re correct Dev but didn’t the EOSFL turn down an application from a North of boundary team before? I guess the scenarios you suggest could happen but the HL and LL would probably have to ok it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the scenarios you suggest could happen but the HL and LL would probably have to ok it. Not sure why there would need to be any referral to the Lowland or Highland leagues. One issue could come up if the promotion spot to the e.g. Lowland league was occupied by an "out of area" team so blocking promotion from e.g. the EoS. Perhaps this situation could be worked around by allowing the highest placed eligible team to enter the play-offs. Really that should happen now, in any case, because it is possible, in theory, for an unlicenced team to win a Tier 6 feeder league to the Lowland League or, in future, to the Highland league.

I can't see many more applications coming in unless something dramatic happens. I guess that could happen, depending of the outcome of yesterday's PWG meeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is true, the Lowland League, East Of Scotland and South Of Scotland leagues should put out a statement immediately to let everyone know this is the process. So each club at all levels know what the process will be for them to make their decisions. I cannot see any reason not to unless there's a reason to hold back, for example the junior clubs have asked to contact their member's before any statement is issued etc... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
