Can confirm that Civil Service were the club that put the idea forward for LL2 with many clubs in favour. However, they'll likely be a restructure outwith the leagues control at the end of the season. My only expectation is they'll be a new West of Scotland league (West Juniors) that will become a part of the pyramid. Hows it all going to work? Nothings been decided, as far as I'm aware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may or may not be a restructure at the end of the saeason. The LL could move fairly quickly on this and get it in place, assuming they know what they want to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that I hope the conspiracy theorists that thought it was all ww pushing for it to avoid relegation are eating humble pie Who knows what the future holds Edited January 23, 2019 by newcastle broon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a lot of East v West stuff from the old juniors, but in reality I think a lot of West teams would be happy to stay in their bubble of playing each other every week, but if others have the ambition and want to go senior then I think they will all jump, like East juniors start of this season. The possibly of a West of Scotland is certainly high from what I've heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RampantFM Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 7 minutes ago, superbigal said: Presumably the original idea of the lowland league was to produce a league of the best non league clubs in Scotland south of the Tay. If that is still the ethos and the eos is finally really up and running, the juniors in theory onboard. Then any dross that exists in said league should entirely in line with the ethos make it's way to it's appropriate level. A closed shop jobs for the boys policy makes a mockery of this. The league has went from 12 teams from Sputh of Scotland, EoS and East juniors, to 14 teams and to 16 teams since it was founded in 2013. That doesn't sound like a closed shop to me. I mentioned the West juniors in an earlier post, if they don't want to be involved then I don't think the SFA or Lowland league can do much about it, and if that has changed. why accommodate them of the bat fpr the likes of an EoS or SoS team that has won the right to be in the league via promotion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This working group will be chaired by a Board member and contain one person elected by member clubs and an independent person appointed by the Board.

Burnie_man Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 So LL have changed the rules midway through the season, Selkirk now considered the bottom club so the only way WW or Dalbeattie are relegated is if Albion Rovers are beaten by a HL club in the play-off.A lesson in self-preservation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the decision I felt that should have happened at the time looking at the rule, but its a farce to have done this now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to think that they would have maybe done the right thing if the likes of Linlithgow or Bonnyrigg had been the ones applying, rather than do what they criticise the SPFL for doing and not opening up enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I'm really just meaning that if the sentiment of clubs has been to adjust/correct the rule now, they'd most likely have voted to re-elect in May had it not been adjusted/corrected, so it's largely academic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has been disastrous and most probably deserve to go doon but I'm happy to go wi what you heard. Looks like there s been many changes throughout the season which is no the best slowly but surely the powers that be will get there though. Maybes see yous in 3 instead o 2 seasons now though the floodlights situation might just finish us as a club anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
