Last season Hawick, Leith, Penicuik, Newtongrange and Peebles all issued programmes. Not sure about the rest.

Leith Athletic produced a programme (mainly 16 pages, couple 20 pages) for every home competitive game last season (albeit one issue was a "double-header" with 2 homes in 3 days).  Plans well in hand to issue again this season.  I know that Tweedmouth Rangers also intend to issue this season.  Think Musselburgh also issued last season - sort of teamsheet that folded into 4 pager I believe. Hopefully do at least the same this season.  So, at least 6, maybe 7 out of the 13 clubs.

Dunno details mate but apparently pitch couldn't take it after their board pulled the plug on pitch renovation

Yer kidding me, has it been confirmed anywhere? was looking forward to playing them in August there. So its a pitch which doesn't have changing rooms or facilties then?

Statement yesterday claims Berwick U20s will use Shielfield Park, with Tweedmouth kept on Old Shielfield:

Old Shielfield has no facilities whatsoever. Dressing rooms in Shielfield Park, players walk across.

Portacabin pavilion was supposed to be craned over early in first season but it fell through.

Pitch itself is pretty good - certainly helped by fact Berwick's groundsman is involved with Tweedmouth - if prone to postponements. Dugouts, 'railed' by alternating advertising hoardings & ropes, and banking at one end.

It meets the pitch criteria as the ground is enclosed; the spectators are separated from the park - possibly the use of small sections of rope rather than solid bars/railings/tensioned wires may be a technical exception but lets not quibble; the players enter by a separate gate; there are dugouts; etc.

It won't meet some of the other criteria as the dressing rooms and any other facilities are outside the ground, requiring people walk a couple of hundred yards through Shielfield Park.

Clearly the desire to move into Shielfield Park is a Plan B to obtain better, compliant facilities.

Disappointing.  Does the ground meet EoS criteria given there are no facilities on site?  either way, looking forward to our trip to foreign fields.

Saves £200 per game for them I believe for them not be able to use it.

Given that Vale of Leithen are playing in the level above, it's actually Peebles closest opponent (of any of the clubs - not just this Conference).

There are a few cases like that... Musselburgh are about as close to Leith and Dalkeith as their East Lothian rivals - Ormiston are similarly about as close to several Midlothian clubs as they are to their East Lothian counterparts. Broxburn are as near to Heriot-Watt as their West Lothian comrades.
