Don't get me wrong, I think its a good thing (working towards a licence) but I'm pretty sure it isn't an EoS rule that every club must get a licence or work towards it. They have standards for joining the EoS but that's different to the SFA licence and previously the EoS have given some new clubs a season to get up to their EoS requirements. For instance for enclosing the ground with a fence. Separately, there probably should be different grading requirements for depending on what tier you're in. However, I don't think the EoS own entry levels are enormously high.
