Doesn't seem like a big update, promoted teams haven't moved section, and only 7 clubs' status outside the SPFL have changed since last month.

Auld Heid Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Can I clarify of the clubs applying to join have any actually been granted admission to the EoS or is that down to final acceptance at tonight's AGM? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 13 who originally applied and the first 4 "late applicants" have already been accepted. The others should be accepted tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 13 EoS (12 from last season + relegated Hawick) & 17 new applicants, so 30 in total. (I could have missed 1 or 2 having been confirmed as accepted, but as far as I know these numbers are currently correct) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a suggestion going the rounds that there may be some resistance to more than 32 and a desire to run only 2 parallel leagues rather than 3 (3 x 13 = 39). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the EOS want the worst disruption over in 1 season. If the late applicants would be told to wait a year, teams like yourselves & Bo'ness would join the year after at tier 7 and probably rack up loads of double figure victories. That doesn't seem a very desirable situation. You might as well have 1 very messy season and then have it over & done with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Really pleased to see coverage of this. Half a century ago next year Lloyds & Scottish were a newly-founded works team in the bottom level of the Lothian amateurs. Indeed it's said they almost folded at the end of the first season. Now, after mergers with Wardie Ams and Hutchison Vale Boys Club... via council pitches, Campbell Park and finally the wide - if often moist - expanses of Saughton Enclosure... having turned senior for 1995-96 and won the EOS League thrice in recent seasons... and after 3 recent runs in the Scottish Cup, including beating Montrose and Stirling Albion and hosting St Mirren... they have become a licensed full member of the SFA. Not only that but Tom Allison has been there from the start to the finish. What a story and what a journey that is - and what an adventure too.

RobM Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Congratulations to all at LTHV and that's a really nice touch and story about the gentleman Tom Allison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Great news for LTHV. Feel a bit sorry for them. Clearly a level above the EoS for years and they finally get licensed just as 26 new clubs join. Edited August 20, 2018 by stanley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only really clearly above the EoS in 13-14 when the LL was created - after that they won the title in 14-15 on goal difference, then won by 6 points in 16-17 but would've had to play Edusport to gain promotion. At least they have the guaranteed Scottish Cup place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I would say Lothian Thistle/LTHV were a level above the EoS of the last 5 years. Just by the fact that the Lowland League's creation put them down a level. They got promoted from the EoS First in 1996/97 and were never relegated from the EoS Premier. Compare that 16 season record to some of the clubs that have been in the Lowland League and LTHV should have been in the Lowland League on the basis of their on the field performances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
