Dalkeiths pitch is terrible ! and with the likes of this mob playing on it alongside Dalkeith baffles me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine there would be talks around 'fixing' or changing the way it's maintained. Tranent have attacked their park especially the season just past, alot of sand for drainage etc was like playing on a carpet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tin man Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Surely the league will let them move to Dalkeith if they are working on there park at the same time. New changing rooms there just need a fence round it surely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Irish league is summer Fitbaw and runs February to October. They had barely started when COVID kicked in. Their plan I believe is to resume and conclude their season with a reduced number of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) This is for Northern Ireland and they have a winter season like us and similar COVID regulations, so if they can do this then the SFA should be trying something similar at grassroots level.

I do believe a lot of the bigger sides do want an All-Ireland league due to perceived financial rewards in terms of sponsorship and TV deals then possibly regional lower leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 So it looks like start of August for the Premier kicking off, 17 October is pencilled in for tier 2 and no dates for tier 3 and below. Anyone expecting to see tier 5,6 and 7 Fitbaw before the bells ?Going to have a massive effect on the early rounds of the Scottish Cup . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it been mentioned if the championship players are returning with testing or as normal? If it’s with testing then game is up the pole for our level of football in 2020. I’ve been told the Lothian and Edinburgh Amateurs are thinking January for their return. Without introducing summer football, there’s not much hope of getting a season finished, even on reduced games if it’s January start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I suspect there won't be any football at our level until phase 4, and phase 4 is probably when we're Covid free for an extended period like NZ and therefore no social distancing and no testing. Will that be 2020? Unlikely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Junior game, seasons lasted 11 months anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) I see the season is officially well and truly over after last night's AGM. Doesn't seem like much happened beyond what is already known. The EoS twitter feed did provide a few tweets that mentioned some of the financial numbers involved that you don't normally see in the public domain.
