I have the scores that were applied to each so there's no question of Talbot or any other clubs being in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, why is there alleged link (mentioned in several posts) between Linlithgow and Bo'Ness joining the pyramid simultaneously ? The way it looks, the wee rose are happy to stay Junior until Bo'ness make move. I think they are worried we would 'steal a march' on them by leaving, so would want to do it at the same time. It does smack a little of their hand being forced as despite getting their license they haven't shown much enthusiasm over a move so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have a licence and the associated benefits. If you move then the question may arise - not as much being forced more a case of being able to wait and see. I am happy that we are in a better position than yourselves if any decision arises given we already meet the criteria against Newtown Park which is at present a hovel.

Why do you pair of trolls have to infect every thread with petty point-scoring comments? Any valid points you make, which are few and far between, are ruined by your incessant infatuation with Bo'ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Newtown Park up to required standards - the answer is no, that's a hard fact. Out of the 2 clubs which is in the better position to move? It was your suggestion that the Rose were somehow waiting for Bo'ness to move that prompted my factual reply. Not my fault if you are unwilling to accept hard facts.

newcastle broon Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 On 14/12/2017 at 12:37, Goalie Hamish said: Given attendances in the Lowland League which appear in many cases to be very low, there needs to be a relaxation of the requirements to allow clubs to go into it without one on the proviso they obtain one within say 2 seasons. Wasn't there already a period of grace when it first started, that should be extended to everyone entering the league. Nonsense why should clubs like ww spend fortunes to then allow clubs in wi absolutely nae criteria? A precedent was set, now clubs have to get there on them terms even if it means slashing the players budget which others have indicated on this thread?

Exactly, clubs at this level let the world pass them by and they now need to catch up. The non-league in Scotland is evolving and junior clubs are in danger of going the way of the dodo unless prompt apposite action is taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This attitude is why it's very difficult to change anything in Scottish football. It's no about the money, it's about the time it takes to get licenced. WW got a grace period to meet the criteria and therefore this should also be offered to other clubs if we ever hope to get to where we want to be. Smacks of someone scared at the prospect of Juniors clubs joining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criteria seems fairly basic, they have a large bit of covered terrace, they don't need floodlights (I don't think), they can segregate spectators, proper turnstiles, nae idea about cludgie situation. Can't be too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs have SPENT money to get where they are today. Scared of junior clubs joining I've said from the start can't wait for yer Bonnyrigg s, Penicuik s, Nitten s et al to be playing competitively ww week in week oot Bonnyrigg have withdrawn from friendlies once or twice against ww in the past if it recall Defo not scared of the prospect bring it on!!!
