FairWeatherFan Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 3 minutes ago, Burnieman said: As has been said, an absolute free pass for struggling clubs to withdraw, sit the rest of the season out, and go again next season with absolutely no penalty. However you dress it up, it's appalling in a supposed Pyramid. The scenes if 2 or 3 clubs withdraw...... Don't think there will be scenes. Like I said there will be a couple of clubs in the EoS Premier happy that they aren't getting squeezed out for the return of VoL & Edinburgh University and the same for the couple of Conference sides that make the First Division. In the non-league "professional leagues" at the moment only the EoSFL are setting withdrawal with a relegation penalty, and they only set that rule long after the season started. All the other leagues came to the conclusion they should have a Plan B in place in case fans weren't allowed to return to grounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more bonkers than anything I ever experienced in Junior football. The EoS at least have come up with a fair solution that is probably unlikely to be utilised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look around the leagues where there have been clubs that have withdrawn the majority that pulled out at some stage don't fit that description. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No withdrawals in EoS, and we know the shambles in the WoS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've only just been given the option and isn't the deadline for sometime in December? In the LL you've got 17 clubs, i'm sure there has been more than one that have discussed it. Doesn't mean it will happen of course. People picking Vale of Leithen is the same as assuming Fort William, Ardeer Thistle, and Tweedmouth Rangers would have been the first to withdraw from their leagues. People struggle to understand how clubs like that can plod on when they suffer heavy defeats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say they'll be drawn at home or circumstances can't alter in 8 weeks: but crowds can return to Coldstream, Gala, Gretna, Hawick, Lochar (Dumfries), Peebles, Nithsdale (Sanquhar), Vale of Leithen, Heston (Dumfries), Wigtown and presumably Berwick from this weekend - as Borders and Dumfries & Galloway enter tier 1. Bo'ness, Camelon, Dunipace, Haddington, Musselburgh, Preston and Tranent are currently tier 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Guess this all depends on what happens after the current relaxation of tiers in Scotland, hopefully fans are back early January. My holidays are for Jan, Mar and April so I'm slightly selfish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Holm Park Community Football Academy are the landlords. Yoker Athletic and Clydebank are both equal tenants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Is this the first clash since the change in structure that had both as equal tenants? Long term a Dundee deal will likely be the solution where the sides alternate who gets the Saturday 3pm K.O how you decide who gets the first who knows , Rock paper, scissors?
