Its fine, just do what Vale do and ask another team to host you :-) Ah right we're going from players to the floodlights for investment now. I'd say changing room facilities and social club were far more meaningful it's hardly the fault of the 3 LL clubs though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry yer eyes man who's to say the 3 LL clubs without lights haven't made plans ? WW and VoL have been in the LL from the start,yet nowt has been done floodlight wise. Well aware the licensing issues hav changed this year browny as regards the SFA but it was I'm sure a rule of the LL's to get them installed ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knocked back because we own the park now away and have a go at the various ground sharers who have done fcuk all to get a license So you must have funding in place for the 3g pitch and floodlighting, From recollection permissoon was granted for floodlighting. 3g was a seperate issue. Where is the rage, merely stating facts and opinion from other clubs with their own ground and floodlighting and changing rooms.On a separate note. The changing rooms and social club were funded from the Scottish Cup run ultimately ended by Celtic. That was some time ago and way before the Lowland League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magoo Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 1 hour ago, Lowland League Follower said: The same place you found all the money during the glory days to pay for the best players while other clubs invested the money into the facilities. All teams with no floodlights should be automatically removed from the Lowland League, all clubs knew it was going to be a requirement since the inception of the Lowland League. So the teams with no floodlights have had 5 seasons to fundraise and install sufficient floodlighting. No sympathy Who invested in there grounds more than Whitehill in the eos days... take council fc out sorry Spartans...we put new changing rooms small stand and new clubhouse, oh and bought the ground... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 49Bus Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The money WW spent on improvements to initially get their licence wouldn't have been cheap either, and certainly owning your own ground goes against you for grants etc like some teams we could all name, but that's not really the point. We need floodlights for Lowland League and Scottish Cup but do we need them for EoS ? So if we do stay up at the expense of Bonnyrigg (which doesn't seem fair really) then how long do we have to get them installed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably be audited around the same time this year, depends on what you get told then. Imagine you'll be fine through the end of the 2019/20 season as they won't pull a license mid-season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, so hopefully gives us a wee bit breathing space to get the floodlights installed and keep our licence/Scottish Cup entry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 49Bus Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I overheard two old guys at Bonnyrigg game last week in the pie hut queue saying the Rose had been offered two sets of floodlights, I couldn't hear any more though, maybe one set was from Meadowbank??

The problem wi the lights at ww i think (and I could be way of the mark) is getting the feed from the generator which by my local knowledge is 250 yards up the road behind the primary school. They'd need to dig up Carnethie Street and cause chaos through the village to connect wi it. It's just no a case of putting lights around the park ? As an aside I'm ruling out us having the meadowbank lights which narrows it doon to 2 LL clubs ? All is not lost on the 3 LL clubs getting lights ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticks in the craw though that the SFA can turn a blind eye to the 3 above yet Bonnyrigg who have played their way this season to the EoS title get knocked back,even though floodlights will be installed before next season and those above still might not have them? A wee bit of come and go from the SFA wouldn't hav gone amiss. Feel theyve been done over by the SFA,due to the EoS and LL quite rightly not accepting the juniors in at Tier 6.....Farce!!
