HibeeJibee Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Founded in 1896-97, entry reaches an all-time record 68 clubs, although in consequence barely anyone will actually be involved in R1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title of the thread did have me wondering if there had been a name change. As it's changed days to think they'll be qualifying to play against Edinburgh City and Kelty Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 So is the EOS qualifying cup - for EOSFA members outside the SPFL, but also minus East Kilbride? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still listed on the EOS website though maybe they stepped down tonight. I'm sure HJ will explain all. Though as the LL inevitably skews more west this cup won't be much different to the EOS league cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know why people keep thinking that it will be full of west Juniors like Pollok who don't even look like will get licensed. Im not sure it will be. their might one day be 9 west and 7 east 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 West Calder United v Berwick Rangers in a competitive game. Not many years ago the very idea of such a match-up would've been confined to fantasists, madmen and drunkards. 5 minutes ago, Ginaro said: Well for this cup 9 / 16 LL clubs are EOSFA members 10 26 minutes ago, Ginaro said: I'm sure HJ will explain all.

With the King Cup dropped to lower division status, the difference in the Qualifying & League Cups are now roughly 1st and 2nd half of the season events now. League Cup having the season finale to it and Qualifying Cup the quirk of later participating in the City Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting drawn after the SFA AGM when they confirm new members. And the League Cup. I imagine they might be holding off on that for now. Not wanting to take COVID for granted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the groundshares it'll be after the LL fixtures comes out, which will be about a week after the SPFL fixtures come out on the 15th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
