Burnie_man Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Normally yes but Selkirk must be replaced. But that's done through application, so the bottom club aren't relegated if there is no champion promoted and the 16th club is found via application. Otherwise they would need to find two clubs through application surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stulch Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I assume the Lowland league can’t go against their overlords if the SFA refuse a license based on floodlights yet the club applied last year before the rules were changed? As discussed previously you’d hope the SFA were sensible but it makes you wonder. Well me, still in my half-asleep state... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 39 minutes ago, Bundesliga Boy said: Yeah there isn’t relegation if no licensed champion. In that instance, applications would be taken to fill Selkirk’s void among licensed clubs. I cite the Threave example where there was no licensed champion and they accepted their relegation without choosing to re-apply for the vacancy it caused.

I edited but not quick enough - my bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they resigned in the end as they weren't in a healthy way off the pitch as well as on it. Either that or they turned down the opportunity to remain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowenan Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Threave was relegated. They would almost certainly have been allowed to stay up if they reapplied. But they chose not to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, there wont be relegation this season if no licenced Champion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundesliga Boy Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Penicuik as well actually, so 8 of the 17 applicants already have lights. And Bonnyrigg closing in on them by the sounds of things too. Hope so as they are most likely to be crowned EOS champions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
