Auld Heid Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Is there a one size fits all approach that doesn't cause divide?Uniformity may have it's objectors.

Isn't the no penalty aka no relegation approach the one that divides the clubs? Two seasons of EoS Premier Division clubs avoiding relegation while the majority of clubs in the Conferences have their chances to progress restricted or eliminated completely. I'd say that creates more of an Us vs. Them divide than what the EoSFL have put in place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriot1 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The LL decision that if one team pulls out then there will be no relegation makes no sense. Don't be surprised if a team near the bottom of the league withdraws before next month's deadline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also argue the EoS put football first and clubs welfare second.This season was never going to be normal and all the more reason to adopt a more pragmatist approach similar to the WoS and LL. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Really think all the league's are in turmoil, wanting to play - but look after clubs who don't want to - just hope they have a plan B if the season doesn't end on time. Maybe one day in the future we'll have a uniform 2 up 2 down across the board ? Hopefully ALL non league will be up and running by January with fans as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EOS approach is definitely the right one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised if a team near the bottom of the league withdraws before next month's deadline. Might not just be one team and a team near the bottom though ? A few teams withdraw then theres a worrying chance it becomes farcical. Its not all about relegation threatened clubs.Mid table clubs wi no chance of promotion or relegation aren't gonnae be happy playing out the season wi no income coming in. Something might have to give in the EoSFL Premier though as 3 came up last season wi no relegation and it could get a bit lopsided if more were to come up this season. A temp Prem 1 and Prem 2 maybes,who knows but a very difficult job for the powers that be to keep everyone happy.

A winter break and extend the season into the summer? Maybe even an opportunity to change to summer football indefinitely. Lots of midweek games, lights not needed to fulfil the fixtures. So leave it from now until March(?) and hopefully supporters are allowed back in by then. It could even be optional, so for those who want to continue through Dec, Jan, Feb they can play fixtures out between them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst we all want football back. To play without basic facilities even to wash your hands (a basic in the fight against Covid) as we go into the height of winter - makes no sense. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastyMan Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Is there a set date in December for Lowland League teams to get their free withdrawal pass by? How does this affect the Scottish Cup as teams had to indicate they would withdraw early without any penalty? Looking at the Lowland League table for last season and this, Vale of Leithen have played a total of 33 games and lost 29 of them with a combined GD of -112. Surely teams need to find their level? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What needs to happen is a limited number of fans let in. It did no harm in England! Now vaccination are due to begin so surely this can now happen in Scotland below the SPFL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
