Just underlines what I said - according to Courier reporter there is nothing better than any game involving Livingston

This publication has turned into a Livingston FC fanzine.
Last weekend there were big groundhop games at Armadale and Whitburn, Broxburn are strolling to the Premier Division title, West Calder are fighting it out with Bathgate and Harthill for the 3rd Division title (unfortunately my team are nowhere good enough to be up there), and Linlithgow are doing well in the Lowland League, but not one word was printed about non-league Football in the area. The sports news this week consisted of only 2 pages, all about Livingston FC except for one article about Bathgate Golf Club.
I can't remember when they last had any decent coverage of local football
When will they wake up and realise that more people are interested in the "juniors" than Livingston FC?

If it's big enough it could go in goals.

Then there's clubs which have expressed hopes of going for a Licence - so they would have plans for flood-lights too, given time:
Crossgates Primrose; Glenrothes; Edinburgh United; Ormiston Primrose; Tweedmouth Rangers.
Fauldhouse United also have plans to get flood-lit. Presumably they'd be thinking about Licencing too?
Good to hear, but first I've heard it. Where did you get the info?

Interesting to note the proportion of clubs with match floodlights by division next season:
Premier Division 12/16 75%
First Division 11/16 69%
Second Division 9/16 56%
Third Division 1/11 9%
By my reckoning is the first time 3 divisions in the East have had majorities with artificial illumination.Anybody know how many of the teams with lights own their own parks and installed the lights themselves, as opposed to having it done by local authorities?

Very surprised that clubs in the EOS are happy that the Director of Football and an entire team of players can just up sticks and essentially take over a team in a higher league part way through a season. Can you imagine the outcry if say people involved at Stirling Albion did the same next week with Alloa or Hamilton/Motherwell or Boness Ath/United etc etc etc
Certainly needs to be something put in place to ensure this never happens again.
I agree with what you say, but I would go further and say that nomad teams like syngenta should not be allowed to get an SFA licence. They got a licence because of the facilities of Stenhousemuir, while my team who have done nothing wrong and have been in existense about 100 years longer than Syngenta and have an excellent ground except no floodlights can't get licenced. Something wrong when that can happen and a team that don't even have their own ground can get licenced.

Fauldhouse 3-2 West Calder on Saturday 12th November has been awarded 0-1 after host fielded an ineligible trialist.
Fauldhouse United 0-1 West Calder United - All matches - East of Scotland Football Association & League (eosfl.com)
No table movement results - but it boosts West Calder to within 1pt of Edinburgh College + 2pts of Livingston Utd in chasers promotion hunt, while Fauldhouse fall to within 6pts of Harthill in wooden spoon tussle.We did the same last season. How can we make the same mistake again?

Whitburn now the only team in all 9 tiers to stay unbeaten. Wish Fauldhouse were half as good as them.

Well done Fauldhouse. Great result today.
Harthill lost 14-0. Welcome back to the East!

Great result for Livingston, beating the big spenders away. No such a good result for us again though.

I sensed an arrogance from you lot,that I was glad to see Whitburn wasted no time in getting stuck in about......
Going to the likes of Whitburn Armadale and Fauldhouse,you are gonna get a game,from what I saw Syngenta are a good side and have games in hand so probably are favourites for the title.
They just didnt fancy it when the going got tough yesterday and at Central Park in they kinda conditions with the pitch cutting up and the home fans on their backs they lost their edge.
Long way to go but its shaping up to be some league.
Ps,what's the script with Diamond,can only think hes off elsewhere....
Plus Dougie Hill is in the wrong job,he tried to outref the referee!!
Loved one Whitburn fans comment when he was being subbed near the end......"Mind give the ref back his whistle number 10"
Brilliant lol
When the going gets tough, the tough get going!

Was a cracking old fashioned cup tie like game n when Syngenta equalised it showed why they will be worthy Champions.
On a proper football pitch no one will live this Cracking Young Falkirk side with the exception of Young Darren Hill (40) and the even younger Andy Rodgers (38)
What happened today on a "proper football pitch"?
Good 3-1 win for the Hoose against Stoneyburn.

The issue is surely deep rooted and has its beginnings in the failure of the club to see the Junior game was all but gone years ago. Several opportunities to move to the EoSFL and a higher tier than the club now occupy were snubbed for no logical reason - a previous manager saw the sense in it and was all but pleading for it to happen, despite his own initial scepticism.
Small town thinking only has one short term result and it’s what Fauldhouse are suffering from now. It’s how they address the mid to long term that is key now, and history says there is little vision within their club to see them do so effectively.
Of course, the same can be said of the rest of the West Lothian Junior diehards - all behind the new boys of Bo’ness Athletic and Syngenta and barely better than the Edinburgh College boys, if at all. No one to blame but themselves though.We are a small town, the village of Fauldhouse. Nothing wrong with that. For the size of the village we have done not too bad until recently, and have held our own against bigger clubs like Bathgate Whitburn and Armadale. Something has gone wrong in the last couple of years though and we deserve to be told what.

According to the fans pages on FB sounds like the club is in some disarray with talk of some players away and wholesale changes in committee.
What is happening at the club? I've never known things to be as bad as this. The same happened to us last year.

Looking forward to taking in as many junior games in the region as possible .
So many good non league junior clubs in the region with great history with fine people involved thankfully away from the utter shambles and laughing stock that is senior football .
A breath of fresh air .
Good luck to all here's to a great junior season whenever it begins.
I'm sure you realised that your post would invite the usual suspects to respond to tell us how bad junior football is, and that it's much better to be in a pyramid system that is setup to make promotion difficult if not impossible. They didn't disappoint.

What's budgie Smuggler on about in the other thread?

The location, access and parking are not suitable for the big crowds they can expect in the EOS league in my opinion

Don't have a problem with Livingston getting the most coverage, it's them getting the only coverage that is my issue.
