Back Beach Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 B’jesus great to see the early season offerings in this most amusing of threads. Can’t see past Brora Rangers for Highland League honours this season. Cove not as dominant as last year, and far more HL teams likely to take points from them. Probably East Kilbride in the LL as winners. Think Clyde could easily fall into the relegation scrap so a Brora v Clyde play-off a treat to look forward to. B’Jesus the Bully Wee will not look forward to that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lowland League team goes bust, so nobody from the Lowland or Highland League is allowed to be promoted? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullyWeeStonehouse Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 It's no shock that Albion Rovers are struggling. As far as I'm aware they recruited alot from the juniors, including their manager, so it was always going to be tough for them. I can see them going down at this point. Not sure who I'd like to come up. Either Cove because they seem to be a decent club or East Kilbride because that's no another trek of an away day for us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nightfly Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 More likely an opportunity for a second team to be promoted to the LL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 It's been confirmed LL will still relegate bottom (now 15th), and also 2nd bottom (now 14th) if the Cove up/Cowdenbeath down scenario occurs. So there will be an extra team promoted from EOSL/SOSL, or perhaps the relegated side reprieved, with the place being decided by application. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_the_rover Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Would that not promote both league champions rather than have a playoff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, I'd expect one of the EOS champions that didn't get promoted (assuming the EOS team win the playoff), the SOS champions or the number 15 in the Lowland League (14 in case of the SPFL LL area down / HL champions up scenario) to be elected. The SOS champion (if they lose the playoff) could get picked, but if the EOS/SOS playoff is another drubbing of the SOS champions, like last year's 10-0 aggregate victory for Kelty Hearts, I think it's unlikely that they'd be chosen ahead of the 2nd placed team in the EOS championship playoff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but it's still ridiculous clubs can go up but not down from the HFL yet in the LL you can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it ridiculous though? The two aren’t mutually exclusive and have no real bearing on each other. Ideally everyone would want a pyramid in place that flows through but that will take time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've answered yer own question. Technically bottom club HFL will play level below SPFL2 year in year out yet bottom of LL potentially can move doon 2 or 3 leagues year in year out now wi the new set up ? Whole system is a bit lop sided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
