Aye that was my thinking when I said it was adding more games to the calendar. Difficult to fit in a double round robin. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few additions ? 6-7 maybe . To get to LL you would need to beat teams like Linlithgow ( who were 10th ) , Camelon Bo'ness Musselburgh Tranent Penicuick Broxburn to name a few . That's not happening Some of the East conference teams are well in front of SoS never mind the Premier East Camelon beat us 4-0 this year in the Scottish Cup and a couple of weeks later Threave beat us 5-0 ! Have you seen them play lately , do you actually know anything about them ? Gala only beat us 2-1 with a last minute winner in the South Region Challenge Cup this year and we were short half a dozen players that day ! Stranraer Reserves beat Darvel 3-1 last year and now they're now in the new West Premier , you getting my drift here ? The South isn’t as strong as well all know and agree but it’s not as poor as you believe ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The South isn’t as strong as well all know and agree but it’s not as poor as you believe ! The standard of the SOSL has improved during the last 4 or 5 seasons, although from a playing perspective it is a shame that Bonnyton will not be playing in the league in 2020/21, having joined the senior WoSL. In this context, is it safe to assume that no new clubs applied to join the SoSL, before the 31st April closing date ? Therefore a reduction of one club for next season , unless any other clubs have resigned? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG7 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I don't think Threave were devastated at not having a crack at the Lowland League. Another year in the SoSL won't be a bad thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really think Threave would’ve been favourites too beat Bo’ness in any two legged play off if that’s what you’ve assumed and also to be honest Stranraer were in with a real chance of winning the South unless you had dismissed them too ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not dismissing either of those teams. But my point is that the South League could have been called with Threave crowned champions. It was a real possibility. (For what it's worth I think the correct decision was made.) All I am saying is that I don't think Threave will be angry at missing out on a chance to go into the Lowland League. I think stability is more important right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Threave have been declared Champions , on what basis ? PPG would have narrowly favoured Stranraer unless your suggesting being top when football was suspended was a sufficient factor ! I’d agree the decision was correct and the Lowland is still a big ask for any South side at the moment , more in terms of travelling for some although competing would be difficult over the course of a season as seen previously. I’d suggest winning any potential 3 way play off is now a far more difficult a prospect than actually trying to hold your own in the LL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
