Bonnyrigg must be close to having their ducks in a row off the pitch for a licence. Looking good. I really like NDP, the only thing it lacks is a bit of seating. Something in front of the clubhouse would make it perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 passed the half demolished remains of Meadowbank today. There's a perfectly good, and EOSFL acceptable set, of floodlights by the 3G pitch that Leith Athletic used- it's a shame no one at the Council thought to reuse them elsewhere for the good of football in Edinburgh. My thought was they could be re-erected at the Council owned ground at Paties Road. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnie_man Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Good to see Ormiston's new set-up yesterday, first time I've been there since they left the Juniors 20 years ago. Gradually working towards getting everything in place for their Licence, which I assume could take another season or two. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Watching the Bonnyrigg highlights - intro shows the park and some portacabins which presumably helps meet the ground criteria https://youtu.be/4586Ng4R7I0 Penicuik have recently had a planning application approved for a disabled viewing platform and extension to their pavilion: https://planning-applications.midlothian.gov.uk/OnlinePlanning/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=PGQP5PKV07J00 That led me onto floodlights - looking at their planning application in 2012 (and also Dalkeith's at the same time), they might need to upgrade their lights as the average lux is only ~120 for both, short of the 200 lux required in the 2019 ground criteria. Couldn't find info about Easthouses' lights, but they might the same. And finally on a less optimistic note, Kelty's planning application for their new stand/cafe/offices at the south end of the ground was withdrawn in October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We withdrew the application on our architects advice, we needed a noise report and a further report on the proposed cafe. These reports wouldnt have been done on time for the council decision deadline. We are in the process of getting these reports which are taking a couple of months to do and will resubmit with the hope all will be approved within the next 3 months. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice, it would probably only be enforced should there be complaints made by the league that the lights are below match standard. "Clubs are required to have a floodlight system at the ground. It is recommended that the following minimum levels apply: Average – 200 lux Min/Max – 0.25 Where a relevant body or league raises concerns regarding the suitability of a floodlight system, it will be a matter for the Licensing Committee to determine the suitability of the system."

Burnie_man Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Actually when I was looking at the list of EoS clubs who are in the process of applying for a Licence, two names absent jumped out at me, Sauchie and Dunbar Utd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked up Selkirk's planning application and they went for a system that gave 217 lux. If it turns out that smaller clubs like Burntisland, Coldstream and WW () need lights to remain licensed, then they could probably get away with lights similar to Penicuik which would surely cost less than Selkirk's £60k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
