Andy groundhopper Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Looking at the Darvel and other threads, I'd be hopeful of at least half of the Premier Div clubs would want to get promoted, after the £ they've spent on upgrades. Doubt many of the Conference clubs have ambitious too lofty tbh, happy to be part of the strengthening WOSFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South_Pride Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) How does the league work in the following scenario: Auchinleck win the play offs and are promoted to the Lowland League, but the team relegated from Lowland is based in the South or East. Is the league next year 15 teams? Does the 7th bottom survive? Or does an extra team get promoted. On the flip side what’s the situation if an East team get promoted to the lowland league ahead of Talbot and a west based team is relegated from the lowland league?

In your first scenario only 6 get relegated and in the second there will be 8 relegated (there's a slim possibility it could be 9 if two clubs come down from the LL).

Ginaro Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Just now, BANKIEBILL said: What's scenario that sees 2 relegated from Lowland ? Club from tier 6 promoted (inevitable) and the HL champions beating a Lowland club 42. Which actually might not be that slim a possibility, as if for example Fraserburgh beat Bonnyrigg there's a decent chance they could then beat the likes of Cowdenbeath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Gold Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Another good win for Pollok. Imagine them winning the league, there's one's on here who would take a fecking multi meltdown. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh. Newlandsfield probably only needs lights ( possibly some signage and disabled access / facilities improvements ) for Pollok to move towards a licence ( obvs also internal policy work ). Problem is the lights of course and if they had been able to erect them prior to this I'm sure they would've done so - big salaries or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just an opinion, not necessarily my own but they have some clever folk behind the scenes and sure they will sort something out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minimum is 90m by 56m. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would only prevent them from being promoted above League 1. As for floodlights, other clubs with buildings that close have installed lights over the past few years so it should be possible. Would be interesting to know (from someone connected with Pollok) how much work is needed to meet the requirements for the dressing rooms, WCs, disabled facilities, first aid room, etc. Suppose winning the league and qualifying for the Scottish Cup would help with funding... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollok have been working away for a while behind the scenes on the future of Newlandsfield and can deal with the licensing work required should it be needed.The stadium did in fact previously have lights which were used for friendlies in the past but those would need enhanced. The wages myths are very far off the truth as there is capital available for use should it be needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
