Top 2 agree 3-6 i think Spartans will struggle 4th at best I can see the league splitting very quickly into 3 mini Leagues top 5 middle 6 and bottom 5 i dont see much to chose with the usual bottom clubs but Vale to be bottom Gretna 2nd bottom

Excellent Coverage a real loss ,,,can i ask why ?

Excellent use of the rules to get where you are now well done Joining a poor South League to fast track promotion and with no play of a bye to LL truly a master stroke

When is the draw to be made ?

Sorry i missed Spartans, Think the point being made was the core home fans as those figures include all those attending , therefore is not a true reflection of that individuals teams average home support Regardless of that 7 teams are less than 100 average I predict all teams in the EOS Premier will be above 100 just my opinion

Apart from Kelty, East Kilbride ,East Stirlinshire and now Bonnyrigg the crowds are very poor in the Lowland League Apparently going by the figures posted on another thread at least 5 teams barely have 30 at home games and take little and in some cases no away fans to matches just a fact not a judgement call on their status in the league as that is based on what they do on the park but from a commercial point of view Whitehill will reap the dividends on the EOS Premier Dvision and hopefully also make strides on the pitch as they kept their best couple of players and made some shrewd signings As said exciting times indeed for all the teams and fans in this League

Marten i agree its worth the visit has to be one of the most welcoming grounds i visited last season Despite their eventual demise Whitehill have amassed a surprisingly large squad for this season as well In the EOS PREMIER which will be a very hard league and in my opinion probably harder than being in the Lowland good luck to the Welfare

Given the farce that has preceded i think you are being optimistic expecting any sort of update , they will no doubt delay until the day prior to the fixture release to avoid the flack Either it stays as is ,,,,,,,,,, or u turn and let Bonnyrigg in,,,,,,,,,,,, as it should have been but having said no initially bit it is horrific and childish now that they will in my opinion do the u turn now

Any News When will the debacle of what leagues the Welfare/Bonnyrigg be in be officially ratified ?

Yes i noted that which is bizarre at this stage , but its all quiet from the Lowland League site !!! Whether its correct or not i think for the good of all just publish it Officially and move on My only conclusion is that a legal intervention has been made by Bonnyrigg and the LL are sizing up their options based on the Legal aspects involved or It could just be they just are not interested and will just publish the LL fixtures with the team in there be it WW/or Bonnyrigg ?

From an outside point of view If the Welfare Committee have given the Manager the permission and the money to sign what appears to be the entire Dalkeith team it can only be presumed they are happy with the direction the Club is taking I would be somewhat shocked if as reported Dalkeith struggled in their conference then the only direction Welfare would appear to be heading next season is downward from what ever League the powers that be deem them to be in BUT you never know

Big gamble for Welfare taking all those Dalkeith players that finished 8th in their League and hoping they will compete in either the LL or EOS next season but good luck to the Welfare

the bottom club is deemed as WW and relegated / replaced by EOS champion in this case there is none ?

Totally Agree

- LL confirmed that 15th would be considered "bottom" for relegation unless Bonnyrigg get a license ( as champions) ,,,,,,,,,,,then there will be no relegation as they cant be replaced by another team for the champions spot just my view on the mine field of rules ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yet again poor WW have no idea what league they are in or not ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Nobody is doubting they earned promotion ,,,,,,,,,,,,,sadly the chances of the SFA changing their decision are slim at best what i do not understand if it was a blanket rule no flood lights no entry ,,,why let them apply ?

And so it should be

just to Clarify, its ok not to have a home pitch or fans and basic/poor facilities by just sharing but if you have your pitch and ambition you cant get in ?
