I can confirm that there are nine new applications to join the EoSL.
As stated above by patriot1, Eyemouth (who retained their EoSL membership, whilst not playing in 2019/20), also intend to return in 2020/21, which technically makes ten extra clubs for 2020/21.
But do we know if Craigroyston are folding...... or not ?
Hopefully not but current situation may change things

Was it against Preston the Arniston offence occurred?
On the league website its listed as being against Hawick RAU, a game which Hawick won. The other deduction isn't listed by date.
And for Hill of Beath they were awarded 2 points because the original game with Sauchie was a draw.
Don't think they have protested, I think the rule is the offending club loses 3 pts regardless, the opponent can't get more than the 3 points available from the game, so if they have already won they get no more. If a draw they get 2 etc.
Sorry, Preston game they played a player without international clearance

I think that's just the SFA disciplinary outcome, they dont run the league or its own internal processing of disciplinary breaches.
Given the player was ineligible, started the game, scored in it and the punishment for other clubs for playing an ineligible player in EoS has consistently been a points deduction that will likely come at some point in due course.
Arniston themselves suffered that fate this season for two games, as did Sauchie in the Premier.
Going by those it looks like +3 to Arniston -3 to Kinnoull would be the standard outcome.Dont know if Arniston would get points. They had points deducted but Preston weren't given them.
H.O.B may have protested v Sauchie to get points awarded to them

Already said i preferred 2 divisions but think it has to be conferences for next season as any change should have been decided at start of this season
1 -
Personally in favour of 2 divisions with any new teams starting in second. Decision should have been made at start of this season, but i guess difficult to do so, as if teams dont move you could have a smaller second division meaning clubs playing each other three times which isn't ideal.

Tbf when you're struggling for a team cup-ties are very difficult as you can't use triallists (whether borrowed from other clubs or free agents).
Craigie scratched from the EOS Qualifying Cup in August back when their troubles began.That is the reason for withdrawal. Couldn't guarantee having team especially for midweek game

Battled hard for each other and didn't let heads go down after equaliser unlike previous weeks.
No game this week so friendly arranged with Edinburgh Harps and chance to.get more in

Arniston beat Preston away earlier this season, what’s your point??
Think he means you said they were finished when Jordyn left

Craigie do give players a small signing on fee and petrol money for away games. Also did try to run a weekly lottery with players contributing to that.

Well if we imagine for a second that Spartans spent say £25k upgrading the back pitch to EoS standards, presumably Craigroyston would still have to hire it and Spartans would be obliged, given it's a Council owned facility, not to significantly undercut other Council facilities, they'll also look for a reasonable fee in order to recover costs. So I'm not seeing how Craigroyston would come out of it significantly better than remaining where they are.
Sadly there's no easy answer to their predicament beyond a benefactor/sponsor pumping money in to cover running costs whilst they try and find a way to become self sustaining.
I wish them well in finding that someone.
Just need my balls (lottery that is) to drop and i'll do it

Craigroyston aside, on the pay/expenses front, the EoS league isn't an amateur one. Any club who has any interest in progressing in it can't be asking players to pay subs themselves and I doubt there are (m)any who do.
There doesn't need to be a culture shift in EoS, there's already amateur league's where teams who want to follow that operating model can ply their trade.
I think what your are talking about is more clubs playing at an appropriate level for the resources that they have available to them.
Back to Craigroyston, those do seem to be extraordinary running costs and I hope they can get something sorted out one way or another, good guys that run the club from our experience earlier in the season.Costs include monthly lease of park etc, maintenance of machinery. Also had 2 lots of vandalism to repair and pay for which you cant budget for

Could they pair up with Spartans on training and facilities?
Fixtures could be managed between the 2 pitches there.
Train once a week @£45 for a 7s pitch = £180 a month;
and £110 fee per match would be a lot less than £3500 a season they currently pay.
Barely cover costs with crowd

Might be to late for Craigie, but hopefully might stop others going same way

Feel for Jordyn. He has been so enthusiastic since joining. Been getting good turnouts at training and at games despite our results.
If we do fold hope he gets a good job somewhere

Its guys like Youngy (had manys a run in wi him over the years but great banter) and the committee that you have to feel for as well. Guys that have served the club very well for many years. Sad to hear this news. I hope they can sort something.
Your not the only one to have had run ins with Youngie

It's sad to see, and I hope there is a solution to stir interest.
Let's hope so. Plenty people been in touch just need rich benefactor to step forward!

I suppose Craigroyston are in the difficult position of being in a big city, representing no identifiable area of it, and little if any support whilst at the same time having to deal with increasing costs, and sadly vandalism. Perhaps a move into the Amateur leagues would be an option, it's a great surface at St.Marks.
You have summed up our problem exactly. Difficult to attract sponsors especially new ones. No mentionable support so little income costs increasing and our local vandals.
Hopefully something can be done to help us survive
