The Highland League rule for applying for membership. If it's good enough for them

Would of been beneficial if you'd said so earlier. After the March 31st deadline the EoS left the application advert up for while, then they even changed it by removing the deadline date. During all the subsequent discussions on the EoS extending the application deadline, I don't recall anyone saying Greenhorn had made any sort of assurance. You really would of thought someone during that month or more time period would of went "No, no, no that's not allowed!"

when and where?

I'm pretty sure it's actually the town of Luncarty that's split by the boundary line, and it's only the fact that the ground is on the North side makes them a Highland League area team. 56.4518N Luncarty's ground 56.4513N HL/LL boundary 56.4484N Luncarty town pin on Google maps.

You're not the only to have said since the announcement of Kinnoull joining the EoS. It's just strange timing how this 19 point deduction and £1,100 hasn't been mentioned until now with the leagues wrapped up for a while. What exactly is the offence meant to have been?

That would be my thinking. Just wary of some random rule that would prevent that from happening.

It was asked in another thread, do Kinoull get to replace Eyemouth in this draw? Doubt it's something that's come up before.

Since your exerting your influence north than usual. Can you try further west? Even a couple lanarkshire clubs would do to get the ball rolling in a west of Scotland league.

They replace them in conference A, I've seen that confirmed. I would hope they replace them in the challenge cup but as that's a joint league competition that may not be confirmed as yet.

Is it only okay with the EoS to change the EoS application process? Yes.

Syngenta are meant to have applied for the East Juniors. Along with a Dunblane team playing out of Sauchie and the basically guaranteed Linlithgow Rose & Bo'ness United junior editions. Technically more could apply for the juniors up until they've had their AGM.

Maybe if I say "Breadalbane will have to join the Highland League if they want to get a license" will bring up the poster that has knowledge on what they might be doing.

Breadalbane is something I've really only seen here and early you would of thought they would be included in the proposed regional split graphic. But that only included 2 unnamed south teams.

Can only think it's Dundonald. Don't think Jeanfield have their lights up yet.

Does Eyemouth at least have a team(s) in the Borders League to keep the interest going? Just looking at the team names there are none with Eyemouth in it.

I was going to say it's not like Kinnoull would be making a move like this with an eye on licensing. And I very much doubt that's their primary reason especially with how late this has all come about. However, a quick check shows that they are listed as having floodlights on NonLeagueScotland. While there are other licensing hurdles to jump through with them not having any cover listed. Floodlights are obviously seen as the big ticket item that would usually hinder a club's ambitions.

Sorry to hear about Eyemouth taking the year out. I've seen Haddington's twitter be the first to post it, so its beyond forum gossip at this point. Sincerely hope they come back in 2020/21 as they kept on ticking all through 2018/19 when others would have packed it in. Fortunately with the format for this year's First Division Conferences a replacement has been found in the unlikely form of Kinnoull Juniors. They finished 3rd in the East Region's Premier North. Which I believe would of entitled them to a spot in the new North Super League that the East Juniors have come up with. Instead they'll be battling it out in Conference A

Has to be. An unfortunate situation with football in the Borders at the minute with Selkirk, Duns and Kelso having fallen out of senior football of late largely down to player recruitment and competitiveness. Not sure if Eyemouth even replaced their manager from last month's vacancy.

That's unfortunate about Eyemouth. Was really hoping this could of been a bit of a turnaround with some of the bigger team shifted up to the Premier. Kinnoull is certainly a surprise though!

Perhaps with how they've been burned they're keeping it close to the chest till it's official. Announce you've got a license, great! Does that mean you're promoted? Are you full members of the SFA? Can the SFA still pull the rug from under us again?

All they needed was floodlights for the license. The gossip has been that they were due a visit by the licensing officer this week. Either people are being presumptuous with the floodlights up or they've had the licensing visit and positive news is spreading.

Apparently?

All clubs were asked to fill out the survey and I remember at least one North Club patching it saying it's not relevant to them as it never included the North Region.
