There might be some crosswires here. £2,000 is considered the amount required to start the SFA licensing process.
I don't know what the EoSFL membership fees are, but they would be in the hundreds not thousands. Probably with a bond that would be paid back after a couple of years.
If that’s correct, will need to keep researching, we would probs need a big influx of cash to be able to pay players if we went that way, but if players just played for free we would probably be able to sustain them etc and provide all necessary to compete. Wouldn’t be able to pay some of the money larger clubs do but in time wouldnt see it being impossible.

Maybe get in touch with some of the newer clubs who've moved up from amateur recently like Edinburgh College, Edinburgh South, Inverkeithing or some of the other "smaller" clubs. Also the West of Scotland League Fourth Division is basically made up of new clubs and their criteria is similar to the EOS.
That’s a very good idea I shall ask. Thanks for the response mate. Criteria isn’t far off for us to achieve it’s really just the cost and I’ve been told 2000 to apply at the moment but could be jumping to 20000 soon. If there’s truth in that would be a now or never situation.

Sounds like a sensible way forward i.e. to check things out before making plans. Good luck.
Would you be willing to say which club? Kirkliston & South Queensferry showed medium/long term interest in moving up to the EoS a while ago. It's good to see that, now that the door is open, amateurs clubs are checking out possibilities.
It’s not kirkliston and south queensferry mate and keeping to ourselves before we decide to go any further but if anyone here had any information regarding running of a semi professional club would be massively appreciated, we could apply and possibly get stuff with temporary fences and gates to ensure our pitch is private etc but would like to see what is all involved before making rash decisions.

If you're serious about seeking out more information the links are up on the eosfl website now: https://www.eosfl.com/

It would give you the sense of what's required. If that's not enough to end your interest i'd imagine contacting the secretary with any specific queries would get response.
I had a look at it mate we’ve not got all that but have some and feel some is attainable within the next year or two. Was more someone involved at a club to tell us what entails being a senior team. Costs committee required etc. four of us just now and do a good job but get local crowds 50+ upwards to most home games which is on par or more than some current eos teams. We would like to be progressive but only if it’s viable for us. We’ve plenty sponsors all equipment, own pavilion pitch etc just be what is involved with actually running an eos team.

As long as Disney doesn’t have any personal agendas against players he competes against with Lauriston. As long as that doesn’t affect his picks I reckon he’ll have a very good squad.

Good to see mussy get their first points on the board I see. Also newcraighall bouncing back from Saturday to win 4-1 in friendly. Maybe both teams will carry this forward to this Saturday.

Honestly 4g is great for training but causes a lot of injuries. Far too many people I know have had their knees pack in or had no give and injured themselves on it, it’s a shame CP can’t play there but we should be trying to use the grass pitches than using these 4g ones. Plus boys probably paying 5/10 a week to play amateurs on a Saturday so would need to fork out another 10/15 on fuel with a trip to Grangemouth as most teams are from the Lothian and Edinburgh area not Falkirk and Grangemouth. I don’t think it’s unreasonable they can’t play home matches there.

Any decent games worth watching tonight?

Brutal, as soon as a team does well it just gets attacked. Fair play to CP they can only beat what’s in front of them and that was colville the Scottish cup winners. They’re a good addition to leafa with the quality they have.

Aye they’ll be posted there first mate.
Buzzing for the season starting, although 9 teams in Lothian west and 10 starting in Lothian East doesn’t look great especially if teams fold during the season.
The amateur game is definitely on the decline, football used to be a priority for guys of a certain age but these days its getting harder to get players to commit.
Honestly brutal some guys with amazing ability would rather play an Xbox or take gear every weekend than go kick a ball. Some of the best players I’ve ever played with can’t be arsed and it’s brutal. I think this season the prem and a few 2nd div clubs will be decent. Lothian vale will piss the league they’re in but doubt there will be much else in that division. I’m equally as buzzing to go watch the games myself this year!1 -
Won 3-1 mate, hard game in that heat
Good test against good opponents can only help for the season ahead.0 -
Of course you know who it is as I’m sure he scored in that now infamous 6 v 1 horsing from Danderhall [emoji23] [emoji23]
Serious shots fired here0 -
Tollcross pulled out mate, we are playing ESV instead. To be honest I could do without it after Tuesdays game, we’ve had to pull in a couple boys that aren’t with teams and a player from another team just to make a bench otherwise we would have been toiling in this weather.
How u get on bud?0 -
was it now there under 20 team thats a bad score 6-4 were any other teams playing last nite cos there isny a lot on leafa tweets about games.any good games the nite to watch
The 20s leagues not a bad standard to be fair. However as it’s a friendly could’ve had first team players playing and tollcross may have been short. If you look at edi United 20s last few results you’d doubt its the same team that got beaten off newcraighall. I’ve not seen anything for tonight either so I’m afraid I can’t help you there.0 -

Thanks for that, very pleased to see that. Need to go have some meetings with our community councillors before we would go further but have until the deadline to do so.
