Can't see past Pace,Star and the Mariners making it up into the EoSFL Premier for next season .
Anytime I've saw them they've looked a cut above the rest and will enhance the Premier next season.
St.Andrews and Whitburn still have a possible 4th promotion spot to possibly get,depending on promotion and relegation.
Saints are nine points behind Newtongrange with six games in hand.
I’ll let you do the maths.

A cracking win for Camelon sees them go top.
The one advantage of Saints getting knocked out of another cup today is we might get the chance to have a run of league games. I’d love to see where we are once we have played our games in hand on the sides above us.
Needless to say we were due to play Rosyth next Saturday. So it looks like we will drop another game behind everyone

Not sure how it works.
I take it ALL results involving Rosyth will be void now thus meaning teams will lose winning/drawing points and Rosyth will finish bottom?
You are correct. Same thing happened when Syngenta folded.
i haven’t looked at the bottom but it makes the promotion race tighter as Newtongrange, Dunipace and Camelon will all lose three points while St Andrews and Whitburn have defeats to Rosyth wiped from their records.

Sad to hear. Hopefully they are able to sort something out and return to the EoS in the future.
Does this mean only two teams will be automatically relegated from the first and second division now (depending on Lowland League promotion/relegation)?
Yes. It has a knock on effect to the second division.

could they groundshare with inverkeithing or even burntisland until the end of the season?
Too late. There have informed the league of their decision.
And they would have considered all options before making such a drastic move.

There's also the affect on relegations due to the possibility that one club comes down from the Lowland League with none going up in return if an EoS club doesn't win the play-offs.
Isn’t there also the possibility of Gretna going down to the South with the winner of the EOS going up which would lead to four promotion spots?

Will Rosyths results be now struck from the record?
You would think one less relegation place as well?
You are correct on both counts.

I had heard this last night as well. Sad news.
Given that Lidl are no longer building on the old park it appears Rosyth have been royally shafted.

The draw for the first round is taking place on Black Diamond FM at around 7.15 tomorrow evening.
27 ties and 5 byes

Tight at the top, tight at the bottom.
VoL and Oakley will go down, anyone else as far up as 8th is not safe.
Any 3 from the top 5 could go up but Dunipace by far the best team I've seen in this league so on that basis, I hope they get a promotion slot
Totally agree about Dunipace. They have just come through a brutal run of games with 10 points out of 12 so with only Newtongrange left to play out of their rivals they have to be odds on for promotion.
The big games keep on coming.
Whitburn v Camelon next Saturday then Newtongrange v Camelon the following week.

The race for promotion is that tight the clubs with deep pockets are strengthening really well.
Camelon signing Graham Taylor is a real eye catcher with Berwick fans not happy
Whitburn signing Kevin Fotheringham and a loanee from Falkirk is decent buisness from them.
A think Camelon and Dunipace will be promoted but the 3rd spot is wide open Nitten have the points on the board and going really well but with Whitburn having five games in hand its going to be quite a run in.
Ahem.

Excellent win for St Andrews in an entertaining game at Preston. The hosts played some excellent football in the first half as did Saints but the away side took over in the second half.
That’s us back in the promotion places and still with games in hand on three of our main rivals.

Going to be very tight, Dunipace have Camelon, Whitburn and Newtongrange all at Westfield before the end of January, will probably see it shake out a bit.
Still trying to get my head round the Whitburn decision….just hope it doesn’t affect the final position's I thought (naively) Whitburn would have gave us the 3 points considering there was 30 seconds left in the game!
It’s Saints rather than Newtongrange on 27th Jan.
Throw in Blackburn away and that is some four game stretch coming up.
Ten points out of twelve and the Pace are sitting pretty. Less than six and you’ll be playing catch up.

Nitten are probably not going to win the league because of them playing more games but are certainly in the hunt for promotion
You could well be right but their next three games are home ties they will be favourites for followed by Vale of Leithen and Oakley away.
I wouldn’t rule them out.

There are five teams pulling away from the pack.
Newtongrange are building up a head of steam but they have played three or four games more than the other contenders.
I thought Dunipace might have slipped up at Rosyth but three goals in the first five minutes out paid to that.Potentially tricky games for Camelon, Whitburn and Dunipace next week.
Be nice if we could get a full card next weekend.

From our time in the North that would be correct. Very little appetire for travel to Dundee which is what I would have wanted for the original Superleages in 2002/3 and can still see how it work but can also see why the in rapidly changing face of the Pyramid it could be here today and gone tomorrow? As far as other teams joining the Midlands 3/4 of the North Fife teams must be interested? St Andrews unless they have massive East Pyramid aims must surely be tempted by 15 mile trips over the Tay and derby with Tayport rather than 120 mile trips to the Borders? a couple of Amateur step ups would see 24/26 teams and two Midland Leagues until a few move to the Highland League!
Just seen this.
Not happening.

If it was nine points and four games in hand I would agree but six leaves plenty of room to drop points.
It will certainly be a tough run in with plenty of twists and turns to come.
