Fife Journeyman

Amazing that this matches up with the old East Region Juniors minus Tayside. Superleague,Premier and regional divisions. There was nothing wrong with that set up in the Juniors but it was the way it was being administered was the issue, Now we are looking at the same set up in a true pyramid and it would work very well. 2 relegated from Premier, 2 up from first , playoff with third bottom and third top. i wouldnt have 3 regions at Tier 8 but make it 2 leagues, winners promoted and runners up lay off.

Any idea when the draw is for next round Hibbee??

Draw fair result. Decent game on tricky pitch between two good sides . Tranent should of been a couple up 1st half. Penalty was correct call. Red card to Camelon for diving was horrific decision. Camelon keeper flapped at a cross for equaliser. Both teams should finish top 5.

if thats the case there are clubs doing just as well on half that some even less.

Players can sign as non contract professionals. I would say there will be around 5 clubs with a 40k budget.or more. Dont think any would be anymore than 70/80

I would think you would find there is a high percentage of players on non professional contracts. As you say as part of the licence process this would be flagged .

You honestly think there are half the teams in this league with 80k+budget!!!.

Some teams not even close too that figure

Out of interest what do you think would be the player budget for a top half EOS side?

Keirs Park currently playable but all depends on overnight weather . Inspection planned tomorrow morning

Pity the council couldnt help with funding to pay for Hill of Beath or Dundonalds lights like others or maybe they would be higher.

so has probably every other club in EOS league but i dont see any other club making excuses before a game, Im sure your squad is big enough too cope.

did you or did you not shoot me down for saying Fife clubs shouldnt be playing local leagues and travelling to Dundee or Edinburgh shouldnt be an issue,? now you state clubs should be playing more regional. i did say a few years back more ambitious clubs would join a pyramid and the others would fall into local leagues and be basically amateur . i think what we both agree on is the more ambitious clubs from tier 6 and above there isnt an issue with travelling but for tiers 7 and below leagues should be local hence why i think tier 7 should be regional from season 20/21, i dont think there would be a huge appetite from clubs at tier 8 to travel from Tweedmouth to St Andrews if it were to occur.

Im sure if i go back far enough you shot me down for Fife Clubs playing in more local regional leagues.

I Think the licensing criteria will change very quickly in the coming year or so, No disrespect to clubs like Edusport who grabbed a chance to enter the Lowland League when the big junior clubs didnt seem interested but at present they have no ground, no fan base and more importantly no engagement with a local community which most ambitious clubs are trying too achieve with creating pathways. Clubs have spent thousands on upgrading there facilities yet we have clubs who can pay a 2k fee and do not contribute to any upgrade of any ground and can gain income from SFA payouts and Scottish Cup Entry. Thats not right and im sure will be addressed in the coming seasons.

so the presumption that "the juniors are in next year" is officially not happening. few posters been quiet recently. hopefully its all resolved for 20/21. probably the best solution until they find a proper way too address the pyramid and not rush something through

Head over to Olafsvik, that sits at the bottom of Snæfellsjökull Glacier.

Bonnyrigg to get awarded a licence/membership if they win the play offs despite not currently meeting all Licencing requirements . 6 clubs who have no variance and paid the fee which has been cashed told NO... Morally wrong but legally how would it stand up?

Dont tell Fauldhouse[emoji85]

Expecting fireworks on here shortly

Wouldnt be surprised if they are holding off until Play off is finished as may make there decision easier!!

The most bizarre thing of it all is 4 teams in a playoff fighting for 1 promotion spot and more than likely only the team who wins EOS will be licenced and eligible for promotion. So entry to Lowland League is just about impossible for a majority of clubs. A pyramid with no entry. Only in Scotland eh.

No disrespect to clubs like Kirkcaldy Ym ,Lochore Welfare or Newburgh but do you honestly believe these clubs should enter a pyramid at the same level as Linlithgow Rose ? if the proposal is passed thats the scenario you can end up with.

Well they can play in a local league with amateur sides if thats the case. or join West region,
