If Kilbride Thistle are still one of the clubs in talks my money is on Strathaven Dynamo to be the other but not expecting parkcircus to reveal that.

No idea who they are, Stewarton and Kilbride I’m still talking to

Blantyre SC were accepted and they withdraw till next year

No, only the local cups, and if their ground hasn’t passed the criteria home ties are automatically switched to the other club 

Actually this is being looked into and will raised at the SSCC meeting this week

...so the Jock Stein Centre in Hillhouse (Hamilton rather than Blantyre) will probably eventually have a team and earlier posts regarding that were on topic.

Blantyre withdrew their application.

St Peters (Paisley)
Harthill 
Harmony Row (Govan)
Kilsyth Athletic
Finnart (East End of Glasgow)
Glenvale (Paisley)
Campbeltown Pupils AFC
Westerton United (Bearsden)
Broomhill Sport Club (Knightswood)

Westerton's the bit - nominally Bearsden - that sits to the left of the switchback as you head up from Anniesland...it's kind of between Knightswood and Bearsden proper.

Broomhill's sort of between Jordanhill and Scotstoun....think Victoria Park and you're not far off.

Except playing in Springburn and it's not like the first BSC senior side has had any luck getting closer to their place of origin. So not sure how much it will matter where they come from.

That’s correct, clubs will be given a set amount of time and milestones to meet for the ground Criteria, if they fail to meet them then they won’t be accepted to go forward to the AGM and the league proper, which will be Div 3.

Clubs that achieve the ground criteria within the season will be put forward to the AGM at the end of the season.

 

Interesting. I was under the impression only the League winner went up and thought Harthill may be regretting heir decision should they fail to win the League.

So, what happens if the 9 clubs plus the two still in talks get their ground up to standard? It's going to be quite a big Division Three. Is that the full criteria they must meet? There will be clubs already in the League not yet met that full criteria - if Div 4 Development League have to meet full criteria, they could be at a higher standard than those clubs and denied a place. What time scale is there on the current clubs to reach full criteria?

So Broomhill ave a ground and bsc play in Alloa why did bsc no use at it the start emoji23.png

As we all know there are different ground criteria for different Tiers of the Pyramid so having a ground which meets Tier 10 doesn't need to mean that it is OK for Tier 5.

They go in as Associate Members  but if they meet all the necessary criteria before the end of the season then they'd become Full Members.

They would then be in a position to move up the League somehow or other.

Never been clear to me that the 3G at Scotstoun Sports Centre is mission impossible for something lower level than the LL where entry level isn't a requirement given some of the other 3G cages already in use or likely to soon be:

They'd need to at the very least put a spectator barrier up. I went to a couple of under 20s games there a few years ago and we were just standing at the side of the pitch with no barrier.

No there isn't different criteria moving up the tiers.  You either meet the leagues requirement or you don't.

Tier 5 is where Licencing kicks in, but not in tiers 6 - 10
