They can't be bottom as they are not in the league. A big problem for the Pyramid at the moment is the reluctance of the LL to open up at the bottom, it seems some people are getting twitchy. The big problem with the pyramid is that tier 6 is a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magoo Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 2 hours ago, Burnie_man said: Their playing record was expunged, they effectively didn't exist this season and the rules state "bottom club" is relegated, so clearly 15th is bottom in a 15 team league. The bottom club then has a chance to save themselves by re-applying for the vacancy, if they want to. It doesn't however set a great example IMO when the LL are trying to get the SPFL to open up more. Are the rules not based on 16 teams being in the league...if so then there are flaws in.tge system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a problem.Fair point, hopefully next season the EoS Premier is top heavy with Licenced clubs, it's on course to be, and we should be fine this season as well (floodlight derogation permitting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 So hypothetically speaking we could see say Penicuik win the play off and come up if licensing approved then Bonnyrigg apply to join league and say Whitehill bottom reapplying if it’s up to the teams in league to vote I'm afraid to say Bonnyrigg have no chance as pretty sure most would fancy chances against Whitehill and I mean no disrespect to them with that comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team demanding a change of rules during the season to save their own skin does nothing for the credibility of the league. I would imagine that point won’t be lost on the board and may stand against them if they lose the vote at the EGM and then have to apply for re-entry. The fact that a team who was involved in setting the rules when the league was set up is now complaining about them because it doesn’t suit them is bad enough. But why leave it until now to make an issue of the decision made by the board at the start of the season? I dare say had Whitehill been sitting mid table they would have been quite happy with the rules as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main problem is promotion from the LL not the relegation from it Why would Welfare resign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really that’s where you want to go. Imagine we must be the first club in the history of anything to play 30 miles from the hoose. Yeah but your right that’s what everybody in EoS & SoS leagues will be talking about, not the fact that we changed rules mid season just to save one club. Laying waste to any ambitions they had of being promoted. What was I thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
