Bring Your Own Socks Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 If clubs are not bringing something to the 'competition' that is senior football, then can I ask what is the reason for the inclusion? If they don't add to the overall package then I am struggling to see the point? Very true. Time for Clyde to move along and give people with ambition a go.

BFTD Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 A couple of years back, the idea of East Kilbride superseding Clyde seemed like a mere schadenfreude fantasy... Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon9736 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 If Buckie or Brora were successful, they'd replace us as the most northerly league team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert James Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I predict Cove Rangers for promotion to SPFL, which means that the Highland League would be obliged to promote Banks O'Dee as a replacement given their SFA Membership & Licenced status. If the SFA tries to block their promotion, a legal challenge would be inevitable. If this happens, the Lowland League will get two new clubs, relegated Cowdenbeath or Clyde, and the champions of the SoSL (Edusport, Wigtown or St Cuthberts: all Licensed). Theoretically that should result in 2 LL clubs being relegated back to the EoSL. Interesting scenario ? Or am I wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the scenario - Preston Athletic are confirmed bottom of LL, but Selkirk and Hawick are fighting to avoid the potential drop. Selkirk are 1pt ahead, but Hawick have 3 games left to Selkirk's 2 games (HRA had a game waterlogged a week past Saturday). SOSL title race is now down to 2 clubs... Wigtown are 1pt ahead of Edusport, and both have 2 games left. If champions of EOSL were also licensed there would be a champions playoff. However its 2 contenders are not licensed, and neither ground is currently in a licensable condition (for example neither have any cover). For completeness though Leith are 5pts ahead of LTHV, but have only 3 games left to LTHV's 5 games. To add a further spice to proceedings, they meet at Saughton on the last day.

Talking about criteria how long have the LL sides without floodlights got to install them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Not required for licence? There are only 4 left without in any case (CSS, Selkirk, Vale, Whitehill) and some of them have been reported in local press as having plans. Don't suppose it really makes much odds: from what I can see the only unlit midweek games this season are 3 on August 10th that were 7:15pm anyway, and Vale v Whitehill on Wednesday which is 6:30pm.

Thanks I thought being a feeder into the SPFL they would have to have lights like the HL sides have. As you say mustn't be needed for entry level licence which all the sides will have apart from Spartans and maybe the Shire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert James Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Looks like East Kilbride v Buckie Thistle for the SLL/HFL play-offs. Buckie's last game is against HFL bottom club Strathspey Thistle, so they should finish as champions above both Brora and Cove. But which SPFL club will they meet in the play-off final ? Any bets ?

DeanMck Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Apologies if already discussed but where would EK play next season if they went up. Surely K park doesn't meet the criteria necessary. Or is there room for expansion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
