Is everyone forgetting about Crossgates & Dundonald? All I hear is Sauchie, musselburgh and jeanfield.. Time to broaden your horizons
Would Crossgates no need to upload there facilities for LL ?
Obviously there's ways around that as clubs have took piss to get round obstacles.

I still blame these tossers for knackering Edinburgh City's unbeaten LL season as we had to kick off in bloody Dalbeattie at 11 am on a Sunday! 12.15 in Whitburn is nothing compared to that one.
Indeed ye look forward to a Saturday, a new ground,new acquaintances and new bar(s) then ye get hit wi Sunday church times.
Good enough incomes for the home sides but can certainly be an inconvenience for the fans that turn up week in week oot.

I take it the away teams get a say.
Away on a Sunday 1215 kick off is a bit Meh

From the outside looking in it looks as if they couldn't wait till he'd (Tom) gone.
A bit of an insult really.

To be fair Longtime there are lot of attitudes like similar to yours about west teams and I’m kinda similar in your thinking of this as well and understandably so due to the past few years but there are a few who want to win promotion and when they do, it will be a domino effect as the ones who want to stay will be left with teams who are weaker so I could see their attitudes changing.
The teams that I believe who want to go up are Pollok, Darvel, Clydebank, Kilwinning, Irvine Meadow and the rest unsure of, but that’s not me staying the others done wanna go up, I’m just unsure.
I ain’t going to say that any team relegated this season and beyond from the Lowland into the EOSFL will automatically be relegated from the premier league, some will find that is their level, some might drop lower,
Beith would've gave a good account in the play off last season surely ?
Just a pity some West clubs are behind the East for licensing at the minute.

We were at Rosyth last Saturday must have been a capacity crowd
They have been well shafted over the sale of the old ground,
Practice for going to Alliance Park.
Is Alliance that bad ?
I only saw them at Annan.

Quite open ground alright on a nice day! They have plans to put an all weather pitch in which is going to be rotated 90 degrees from current one.
They need to do something,for the level they are at it is fairly poor for the spectator.
Though it's not near as bad as Rosyth s park. That only looks fit for 7 a side football. I hope they sort something soon.
Best of luck to Cowden this season.

Was the best Edinburgh University thread I could find.
Didn't even know they had one to be fair.
Great set up down Peffermill way, they punch well above their LL weight season after season.
Would love to see them stay as long as possible just for the sheer anger of some posters.
I've a feeling this thread might get "bullied" this season

«Sean McAuley becomes Edinburgh University Association Football Club Head Coach.
McAuley, who brings a wealth of experience from his roles at Bonnyrigg Rose and the Scottish Football Association, began working with the Club on 1 June ahead of the Performance Squad’s preseason programme starting on 19 June.»
Will be interesting to see if he can bring the change that is needed.
A thread from 2014 resurrected you must've went back some pages to find that. Fair play.

Well unless something has changed they will be going to the SOS (confirmed by the league over the past few years), and even less likely to go EOS as they've resigned as an EOSFA member and joined the South Counties FA.
When did they resign G ?
A proper pyramid should have them relegated to West Premier just like when East relegated clubs go they go East Premier.

Come on Jim, more due diligence needed.
From the bottom of the Lowland League we have lost:
Threave (now WoS3)
Preston (now EoS1)
Hawick (now EoS3)
Selkirk (defunct)
Whitehill Welfare (now Eos1)
Vale of Leven (EoS1)
In their place we now have:
Tranent
Boness
Cowdenbeath
Berwick R
Caledonian Braves
Civil Service Strollers
Are you seriously suggesting the former 6 are equal to their replacements.
If not, then logically (Mr Spock mode) the league must be stronger.
Vale of Leven are a 3rd division West of Scotland side Vale of Leithen are in the East 1st division.
Strollers joined to make up the numbers to a 16 team league, maybes you need to do a bit due diligence as well

Vale have now been deducted another 6pts for fielding ineligible players after discrepancies were subsequently identified in their losses to Inverkeithing and Hill of Beath on April 22nd and April 29th respectively.
They suffer the ignominy (some would say infamy) of ending on -6pts; which were it not for Fort William's -7pts in 2018-19 could well be the worst in Scottish history IIRC.
It ignobly smashes out of the park Eyemouth's previously unenviable record as the only side in EOSL history to end up on negative points: the Fishermen landed -1pt in 2004-05 and -3pts in 2018-19.Not really much point as they were doomed for months in the league. it's a fresh start for 23/24 though. Things can only get better.

Every team in that first season had either previously played in the East of Scotland League, South of Scotland League or Scottish Amateurs.
Only 4 clubs remain from the original 12.

In the past, it's been the LL runners-up who have filled any extra places I believe.
So it should be (or HFL) down to footballing standards set but as we all know odd decisions can be made from the powers that be within our game.

Wait....
Are Albion not already in the cup this season? I thought Cowden just got an extra place that came because someone else got into Europe, so next season would be Albion if they haven't already qualified to play in it and there's a space available

Anyone got a clue why Cowdenbeath were "invited" into the League Cup ahead of University of Stirling or Buckie Thistle?
Apparently as last relegated league club though Berwick didn't get the opportunity.
Next years invite would be Albion Rovers.
Nice wee earner for them.

Fans that go to away games will almost certainly be attending home games.
Are you suggesting that spending hundreds of pounds financially to get to an away match shouldn't count?
Don't forget it's only the last 10 matches so points are dropping off as well as gaining points.
There's not a lot you can do regarding points. Maybes 1 point travelling away without an official ticket with proof of travel as there's loads who can't even get a sniff of an away ticket but it would be easy to copy and print a boarding pass/hotel confirmation etc so don't think that would work either.
I would suggest putting away travel points into zones. Further away travel from Scotland the more points you should get.
It's easy to get to your France,Germany,Netherlands but not so with the likes of Georgia,Armenia etc.
It's frustrating travelling all over Europe without getting any points at all but that's not the SFA s fault, it's the opposing countries giving out the allocation.
At the end of the day they're not called loyalty points for nothing so guys that go home AND AWAY deserve 1st dibs whether it a friendly or a major competition.
