Plans to go Senior - What does the East of Scotland Football League ha

[OnlyanExcuse]

From the EOS Secretary:

What does the East of Scotland Football League have to offer?

• Membership of EOSFL which confirms acceptance of and commitment to the pyramid system and satisfies a mandatory requirement of being granted a Club Licence.

• Automatic entry to the Scottish Cup for Champion Club which will generate a minimum income in excess of £2,500.

• Our ambition is to have all Members licenced as soon as possible and thereby automatically in the Scottish Cup every year.

• SFA Sports First Aid courses at heavily discounted rates (or free).

• All clubs supplied with a defibrillator and associated training.

• Bespoke personalised first aid bag.

• Personal Accident and Liability insurance incl. player to player liability paid for by the League.

• Match balls supplied for season and training balls available at heavily discounted prices.

• Bespoke goalkeeping courses.

• Possibility of getting another place in the Scottish Cup

• Coaching courses at heavily discounted rates (or free) up to C Licence level.

• Prize money for those Clubs finishing in the top four in the league.

• A sound organisational structure with fixtures issued on a seasonal basis.

• In combination with the Scottish Lowland League and the South of Scotland League an U20 development league for the development of a player pathway.

• Automatic entry for the U20 team into the Scottish Youth Cup.

What do we ask in return?

We are willing to talk to any prospective members who can demonstrate the ambition to meet our objectives regarding Club Licencing which would clearly also require a commitment to engage with the pyramid system. It may be that there are amateur clubs out there who do not currently have the infrastructure in place to meet our criteria but we are happy to talk to any who think that they can do so in time and can show a willingness to try. There may also be clubs who already have the infrastructure in place but are hidebound by tradition preventing them from making a move. We need to identify any such clubs and make an effort to engage with them.

The evidence of what can be gained has been there for all to see this season with Lothian Thistle HV, East Kilbride and Linlithgow Rose gaining considerable publicity, not to mention very large sums of money, for competing through a number of rounds in the Scottish Cup.

How can any club possibly resist the offer of a "Bespoke personalised first aid bag"?
