That's all. Got to disagree don't think Linlithgow should be getting it there's no merit for that to send Whitehill down. Only way Whitehill should go down is if cover go up and Berwick or albion come down 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All applications should be treated equally and on merit with the best candidate getting the nod. Who that is remains to be seen.In any league, the bottom club should go down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 The clubs have met all the deadlines. It's the SFA who have messed up. I hope they don't punish the EoS clubs for this. Would be farcical if clubs moved to EoS from juniors to get licensed and try to get promoted to LL (although obviously not all clubs had this as a realistic aim) and then they were denied promotion because the SFA didn't get round to giving out licences. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye sound pal, you treat the lowland league with contempt from it's inaugural season, and now 4 seasons in everyone has to jump to your tune, if Whitehill have built up a relationship with fellow founder remembers of the lowland league so be it, but you crying what's right and what's wrong and the lowland league should be doing this,that or other is amusing to say the least 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the season the Lowland League clubs knew that only a finish of 14th or above guaranteed their safety, and the clubs in the East of Scotland League knew that only winning their conference would give them a chance of promotion. Selkirk's resignation (which was way back in August) changed that slightly since it meant (under the Lowland League rules) that the club finishing 14th could be in danger, and that there would be an election for the extra vacancy.

You seem obsessed by me again Broony I wasn't the one who raised the possibility of the LL looking after one of their own if it came down to a vote of member clubs. I'm sure the LL board are more professional than that. As for the application criteria, what I posted is fairly accurate as I have now seen the form. May the best applicant win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who are you this week then Hamish the goalie or Black and red socks do make yer mind up Who said the LL should look after their own ? Funny how every fecker wants a piece of it now though al give you that I did read (might've been on here) that the LL might no want these clubs in it too soon as it would not just affect the teams that are in relegation trouble but the whole league in general which I believe could be a fair assessment. That's not auld pals act that's protecting yer club whether ye like it or no ? As you say and I don't even know if my club will even apply may the best applicant win ?

Do you think the top end LL will vote for it. That's not auld pals act that's protecting yer club whether ye like it or no ? Jeezo Broony, it's hard enough dealing with all my pals as it is without inventing other user names and attracting more, I leave that to the trolls. My only point on this thread is that whoever is voted in as "club 16" is done so solely on merit to find the best candidate to replace Selkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Reaction from WW? On 01/04/2019 at 14:41, newcastle broon said: Na but I'd expect some kind of leniency regards getting the funding since we are one of the few clubs that actually own their park ? If you get to keep your licence along with CSS and VOL, then there's no reason why Bonnyrigg (who I think own their park as well) and others without lights who applied in 2018 shouldn't be awarded a licence. Whatever happens it doesn't really help in terms of relegation either way as there's enough clubs with lights who would be better applicants for your position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
