Gimme Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 To be fair there is nothing Whitehill can do or say publically about the situation other than they'd like it resolved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) No need for the technically. It's allowed under the rules and they are phrased that way for just this sort of scenario. Odds on they would have done the same for LTHV last year, if they had edged out Kelty. Edited May 31, 2019 by LongTimeLurker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floodlights installed and in place at Bonnyrigg just in time for last nights LL agm. Coincidence or what ? I'd expect the nail in the ww coffin to be confirmed from where Ginaro quotes at the SFA meeting on the 12th June ? An absolute piss take and shambles on both teams from start to finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's an absolute shambles, both teams are left in uncertainty because of the SFA's incompetence. That's why the SFA licensing decision should really have been made in February as originally planned. That would have given Bonnyrigg the time to sort things out in case of a negative decision so any final decision would have been reached before the end of the season and all teams would have know what would happen. Imagine if the SOS had a licensed champion, or even worse, a champion going through the same process as Bonnyrigg? You could end up with a play-off before knowing for definite which of the 2 teams (if any) is actually eligible for promotion. Yes, I know the reason why the initial SFA meeting in which this should have been discussed has been cancelled and obviously the reason was very sad. But surely it's not difficult to at least have a quick phone/Skype conference shortly after for example? The licensing rules at the start of the season should remain the same throughout the season for both new applicants and teams that already have a license with the decision taken in February and any further steps to be taken (if needed) to be done by the end of the season. Rule changes should only apply when a new season starts, giving existing member clubs (at least) a year to sort things out on their side.

I think if it looked like the SoS could have had a licensed champion the LL would never have granted the extension past March 31st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get the coincidence with the LL AGM angle? What does that have to do with it? I’m not being awkward, but surely if it was planned that way they would have waited until after the AGM to avoid any confrontations ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well have been a split between those giving Bonnyrigg an extension and those not wanting WW to be relegated with some undecided. Bonnyrigg having their floodlights up and installed in time for the LL AGM could sway any doubts that they wouldn't get their SFA license in time for 2019/20. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimmo's Notes Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Assuming that Whitehill are going to be relegated now, we could have a situation next season, where they win the EoS Premier and are promoted as a licensed club but don't have floodlights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
