selfassemblyshire Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 How have they lost their license ?They haven't yet but they dont have floodlights and the SFA rejected a few teams last week for the same reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they're not I presume WW are safe. * I've been wrong before but I'm confident on this occasion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersmith Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Lowland League stated at their meetings that the bottom team would be relegated, even if it took applications to fill the vacancy. So doesn't look very hopeful for Whitehill the league also stated the relegated team could apply if it was application process but having no lights is an obvious reason to reject their application. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Threave in 2016 get relegated despite there being no licensed tier 6 champion? They didn't re-apply, but that would indicate WW still get relegated? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Threave wanted to be relegated ,big difference ? As far as I can remember, they just didn't re-apply and got relegated because of that. So if what I think is true, you'd be relegated with the chance to re-apply.Still lots of uncertainty tbh as Bonnyrigg can (and probably will) still appeal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an absolutely ridiculous situation to be in. I've read that many different scenarios on various threads aboot ww my heed is bursting ? I think Threave didn't want the travel involved in the LL and were happy in the SOSFL. Not sure where ww stand,i don't speak for the club but a lot more local fixtures EOSFL but I would like to think the club no just ww but any club would like to stay as high as possible for as long as possible in the pyramid ?

A bit different to the ww scenario now ? It is, which is why it's important to say that Threave were never relegated. If WW wanted to fight things to stay in the league, officially they may not be relegated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be very frustrating for you guys, you still don't know what league to plan for after all. That's all down to the SFA's incompetence. Nobody can blame Bonnyrigg for appealing the decision, which did seem very harsh on them. However, that makes uncertainty for WW continue. If the SFA wouldn't have been so slow in this process, everything could have been clear by now. If they'd have made their decision in February as they were meant to, Bonnyrigg could have appealed then and the outcome would have been known by now so all sides know what's happening (assuming Berwick don't perform a miracle on Saturday...). If nothing becomes definite in the next few days, I think the LL should just run with 17 clubs next season with both yourselves and Bonnyrigg. An expansion to 18 would also not be a bad idea imo (if the HL can do it with 18, the LL should have no problems!), the final spot can then be filled by application, maybe Penicuik as the highest finished club with a license in the EOS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The running at 17 is something I think might be an option. Confirm WW haven't been relegated and allow the Bonnyrigg to continue on with their appeal. We're probably only a couple of weeks until the LL AGM, so they've got to do something soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I tried finding some information on the Threave case. All I found so far is this article: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/threave-rovers-south-scotland-league-8099347 "Recently, chairman Davie McVitie said they planned to reapply for their place which they would have held on to had no team been promoted from the East or South leagues." This quote suggests they were originally relegated but had the chance to re-apply, which they ultimately didn't do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastle broon Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 A 17 team LL for next season would make sense. I'm sure the league could squeeze in 2 more league matches ? After all teams,albeit champions have recently withdrew from the league cup maybes leaving an option should any problems arise with fixtures throughout the season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This quote suggests they were originally relegated but had the chance to re-apply, which they ultimately didn't do. There were various different newspaper quotes from around the time, some conflicting as the LL were supposedly looking to introduce relegation for the bottom club regardless of promotion scenarios. The closes official source I remember finding was from the LL website http://slfl.co.uk/ferrari-packaging-scottish-lowland-football-league-announce-league-expansion/ If they had been relegated, they wouldn't have had to resign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
