Just a bit fed up with all the Selkirk stuff. The fact is you have a really good chance of still being in the LL next season. Let's just hold onto that positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegating WW leaves the league with 15 teams with the 16th place being decided on application. The Lowland league couldn't change the rules after Selkirk went bust. If Berwick are relegated and Cove go up then Dalbeattie are relegated leaving the Lowland with 15 teams with the 16th place being decided on application. Applications will only come into play if we don't have 16 teams. That will only happen if EK are promoted.

Jerry Macguire Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Obviously I'm assuming BR are relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowenan Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) If Cove gets promoted, and the winner of the EOS is licensed, then both Dalbeattie and WW will get relegated, since Berwick Rangers and the EOS champ will enter the Lowland League. Dalbeattie and WW will then have to apply for the 16th place, alongside other teams like Linlithgow Rose.

Jerry Macguire Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I predict Dalbeattie Star will not be relegated this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowenan Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Well it will take a lot for 1. Cove to win the playoff, and then 2. Dalbeattie to lose an election process. So they will probably stay up no matter what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That comes into play to maintain a 16 team league. That does not apply this season as we only have 15 teams. If EK don’t get promotion and BR drop into the LL we are back up to 16 teams. In other words Dalbeattie are safe no matter what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 In the Whitehill case, the rule was very clear - they are the bottom team and they will be relegated. However, there is more of a grey area with the Dalbeattie situation. The rule says "in order to maintain a membership of 16 clubs". In this case, relegating Dalbeattie would not be necessary to maintain a membership of 16 clubs - relegating them would take it down to 15. Therefore one could definitely argue that this part of the rule wouldn't apply in this case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Just reading elsewhere that Cumbernauld Colts might be leaving Broadwood, with the poster suggesting Guy's Meadow as a destination. No matter where they go, surely it needs to be LL compliant in terms of their Licence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It thought they were prime tenants of Broadwood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
