FairWeatherFan Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 2 minutes ago, Truthteller said: So what will be the league structure next season for the clubs in the EOS who did not make it in to the top league ? There will probably be some official discussion on the 25th when the EoS has their meeting. They've got to accept/decline the membership applications then they'll know largely what they're working with numbers wise. It's basically a choice between regional or seeded conferences. I think seeded conferences should win a vote as otherwise you're basically splitting Edinburgh in half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Using the current standings,assuming that 2 6th placed spots will be required for the EoS Premier and if I remember correctly how they seeded last time. You get Seeded Conferences looking like this: For Regional Divisions you'd be looking at something like this. Again you can nitpick over the Edinburgh based clubs with this format OR Edited April 21, 2019 by FairWeatherFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the best of the original EOS teams are likely to dominate tier 7 next season. Think it's very interesting that 6th + 7th in Conference A are Leith + Coldstream... 7th in Conference B is likely to be LTHV... 6th + 7th in Conference C are Preston + Heriot-Watt Uni. In every conference there was a "big 4" no-one expected to falter, but when it came to finishing above Dunbar, Sauchie and Blackburn (and Crossgates who have surprised many) the old EOS sides fell just short. Just being the operative word... Leith + Coldstream (hampered by deduction) trail noticeably, but LTHV may finish 1pt adrift, Preston by GD, and HW by 2pts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowenan Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Regional is probably preferred by some, like in the East Juniors. But where there the north division will be much stronger, here the south division looks much tougher. Seeded seems more fair for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will at least set them up nicely to fight for promotion next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truthteller Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 No real surprise that no previous EOS clubs make it in to the top league as everyone knew the standard was much poorer than the clubs who were previously in the East Region juniors. Hats off to the clubs that moved as they spotted the opportunity to effectively takeover a failing league and jump a level to so called “senior level” -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Leith Athletic will hopefully make it to the EoS Premier. Not quite the EoSFL 2017/18 vintage team that people would of expected to be there but a lot of people had 11 East Super League and 8 East Premier League teams as stick ons for the top spots in their Conferences. With Easthouses and Craigroyston being used as a comparison to how well the EoS 2017/18 clubs would fare against ex-Junior opposition they've certainly done decently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hats off to Coldstream and Easthouses, they’ve both had great seasons. ‘Stream have come a long way since they were asking me to play for them! My only hope (and it’s a long shot) is that Dalkeith pull off a miracle and get up too, think everyone will agree they deserve it for having the biggest balls last season 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Think Crossgates Primose are who really stand out on that way of showing things. Not that long since they were in abeyance for a season. Technically they are not 100% sure in mathematical certainty terms of being in the EoS Premier yet, but almost inconceivable that they won't be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the SJFA weren't interested in the pyramid so that's why the EoS is no longer failing... 1 hour ago, sniffer said: So basically it’s the eos junior premier division , a waste of a year and playing shite just to get back to virtually the same league.

Yep that's basically it, a shame it had to come to that but there was only one way to join the pyramid and clubs were happy to put up with a waste of a year. If you want to have a chance of playing Glenrothes again or getting to tier 6 then you should join those horrific leagues.
