Born To Run Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Chris Anderson has just confirmed that Vale will have their floodlights installed in time for next season, so their license should be safe. What this announcement gives is certainty. I suspect Bo'ness will come up, but no team from the SoS as Stranraer reserves would win on points per game. We'll either run a 16 team league should Kelty gain promotion, or 17 teams if not. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people could learn a thing or two from the Lowland League. This is very easy for the Lowland League to do because they are dealing with small part-time clubs and players for whom this is not their main livelihood. And anyway, I doubt that this is in the "best interest" of Bonnyrigg - if they were a larger business with more resting on this they would be kicking up a massive stink, just as several SPFL clubs have. If you can suggest a magic solution that is in the best interests of all the SPFL clubs then I'm sure everyone is all ears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe whitehill should have came up with this a year before set up a killer virus and youd have stayed up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly there is always going to be someone unhappy but I don’t think Bonnyrigg can have too many complaints. It was a massive long shot that they could have caught Kelty. Not sure what impact this decision has on players livelihoods one way or another under the current conditions however I do know this was the best outcome for the majority of the clubs in the LL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Pub League Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Its not. There isn't going to be any football played in public for months yet, next season isn't guaranteed to start in August so why screw over next season when there is no chance of this season being completed before October? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion Gogsy. Just don’t see what else the LL could do. Next few weeks should be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretnascotty Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 With the mention of contingency plans for the teams due to come into the lowland league, does anyone think the league would introduce 2 Divisions next season? A Lowland Premier & Division One. I’m not completely clued up on the West Junior team’s situation but would be a good time to expand possibly. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody suggesting this needs to be played now, but is there an intention to play one. If not i suspect that Kelty will remain in LL next season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'll take a guess that we see the SPFL going 14/10/10/10 with no relegation, the top two teams in each league moved up and Kelty/Brora added to League Two. I wonder if they've made this choice to call it as they've had a nudge saying they need a champion to stick them in League Two. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
