Bundesliga Boy Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Excuse my ignorance, it's a Covid/holidays/too many late nights brain freeze! Are their 34 fixtures this season (ie home and away) in this seasons EOS Premier, in which case we're miles behind factoring in games in hand etc, or is it a one off 17 game season in which case there's loads of time to fit everything in. (again, any number of really poor excuses for not knowing this already!). Many thanks in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Home-n-away season of 34 games. It is not miles behind. Clubs have played (on average) 11 league games over the 12 weeks since it began on October 10th; and have (on average) 23 league left for the 21 weeks remaining until due to finish on May 22nd. [Clyde have played 8 league games + 4 league cup group ties = 12 over the 12 weeks since you began on October 6th; and have 19 league games left for the 18 weeks remaining until due to finish on May 1st. Barely different]. Should've reached 14 league games going by original list. Everyone being let into Scottish Cup basically wiped-out Dec 12th and 26th, weather some more.

Should've been at 14 league games per original list. Everyone being let into Scottish Cup basically wiped-out Dec 12th and 26th, plus weather some more. Excellent thanks. Off topic for here I appreciate but are the WOS home/away too? Also, could there potentially be a 3 way playoff - ie Jeanfield or Tranent, Clydebank or Tranent, and maybe Threave too if they pip Stranraer to the SOS, for the right to go into the Lowland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All southerly pyramid leagues are home-n-away. If there are 3 licensed champions "round robin" is due on Sat 29th May > Tue/Wed 1st/2nd Jun > Sat 5th Jun... if 2 licensed then 2-legged playoff on 29th & 5th.

In all sincerity, very much appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the edited Clyde analogy, but worth bearing in mind their 3G pitch whereas Penicuik for example are already 5 league games behind and that may well increase over Jan, Feb and maybe even March too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add a little to HJ's answer, he's the original fixture list, so you can see where we ought to be and what's left to fit in: https://www.eosfl.com/downloads/eosfl/The-East-of-Scotland-Football-League-Season-2020-21-Fixture-List.pdf This is on the EOSFL website front page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So EOS definitely behind other leagues as things stand, but midweek games will sort that in due course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they end up winning the league for it to matter is a different concern. We've seen in the East the last couple of years how clubs have been able to get their last few touches done near the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilwinning have already said they wouldnt be getting licensed this yr They had a ton more work to do than most, having only moved in about 18 months ago to what was largely a pitch at a sports centre. Rutherglen saying not this year is a bit more surprising by comparison. There's at least 6 others in the mix: Talbot, Clydebank, Darvel, Irvine Meadow, Cumnock, and Petershill. With other possibilities with a lower profile that might be quietly working on it. Getting 3 is a possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriot1 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I thought there was no promotion or relegation in the WOS this year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have access to the LL playoff if they end up with a licensed champion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
