So from the current boundaries we're the first since 1931, but pre-WWII will suit just as well, it was a long time ago Edited April 13, 2018 by Burnie_man 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has indeed, current boundaries 1931, old boundaries 1939. All a long time ago which was the underlying point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a West Lothian town, just like West Calder is no longer a Midlothian town! ever wish you hadn't mentioned it.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldandround Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Rumour alert! Heard tonight that the second Amateur team is Musselburgh Windsor. Was most surprised until I remembered that they applied last year and were rejected. They were sent away with a list of reasons as to the rejection. Windsor are an ambitious boys club trying very hard to get new clubrooms and facilities at Pinkie. THis might be a method to achieve that Or maybe they've made the changes? Or its rubbish :-) Edited April 14, 2018 by oldandround 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energyzone Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Easthouses lily have a cheek to apply. They packed their bags and left, now they running back with tails hanging. Jokers It's the same as changing lanes on the motorway. When Easthouses left, the future of the EOS league didn't look great, now things are changing so they've reapplied. Nothing wrong with that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving the 19s to u20 league and forming an EOS team from scratch (should they be successful) Again, if the rumour is correct Not to say that Musselburgh athletic have also not applied. I know nothing about them. My informant was definitely talking about the Windsor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokers IMO That’s a bit unfair on Lily, at the time it was the right decision to leave and now it’s the right decision to come back, nothing wrong with that. Everyone wants what’s best for their clubs 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be surprising given that Musselburgh Athletic are reportedly joining, would make more sense for Windsor to hook up with them in order to field an U20 team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic in the minds of a football committee? Obviously it makes much more sense that the windsor become a feeder for the athletic. However for that to happen, I reckon the athletic would have to change its name to windsor! The "possible application" is all part of the long term windsor plan to get its own club rooms and facilities. Windsor, despite being a boys club, are probably a bigger outfit than the athletic. Junior team dont really engage with anyone else, and to be fair, neither do the windsor. Very much in it for themselves, which they are perfectly entitled to do! The fund raising they have already carried out has raised well over five figures towards new facilities. The Council are very much involved in assisting but are having difficulty in committing funds to a boys club. An EOS team, might just be the spark to unlock the purse strings with East lothian council! However, as I said, could all be shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if there are only 2 Amateur applicants, and Inverkeithing HS have publicly admitted applying, then St Bernards application must be incorrect ? It also rules out Soccer AM (Fife). Or are there more than 2 amateur club applicants ? If so, it brings into question the (rumoured) number, and/or existing status (amateur or junior) of the 15 new EoS applicants overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only certainty we have is that we will not know the list until the EoS AGM at the end of this month. If other applicants wanted to go public beforehand, we'd have heard from them by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's AM Soccer. You're thinking of the Sky Sports programme... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
