HibeeJibee Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Nah, they were introduced in 2011-12, although the number of sections and general format has constantly varied depending on how many clubs and how many league games. In 2013-14 after clubs left for LL it was played home-&-away throughout the season... something like 4 games in August/2 in October/2 in December/2 in February... but that was a bit of a disaster.

Tier 6 and 7 Divisions will be the plan, the space will be left at Tier 7. With all the talk about the most recent applications being about keeping local games. It wouldn't surprise me if the split into North and South Divisions at Tier 7 if they get enough additional applicants to make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously could be more teamsin set up by then. All clubs will play at tier 6, was an EoS undertaking, as far as I can recall for 2018/19 For 2019/20 my views are that two leagues, split North & South would be the best, by keeping costs down, and maintaining local rivalries Edited May 25, 2018 by Robert James 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar & Craigroyston have made their public statements confirming (Dunbar on facebook, Craigroyston on club website). Arniston & Penicuik were apparently accepted at the meeting at Easter Road the other day but yet to make statements that i've seen. St Andrews & Nitten are the next linked to be applying before the deadline source being Haddington's secretary on twitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Saddler Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Nice to see Tutankhamen up and about again. He didn't look so great when my great-great uncle discovered him in 1922. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster20 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Anybody heard anything about increased Promotion places for next year? 0.5 up from potentially 32+ teams seems ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert James Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 15 hours ago, gwd440 said: OK, LTHV and Tynecastle were the main crammers, but there were quite a few games played after the Lowland League Play-off. If any of those teams had been involved in the title chase, then there may have been more cramming. However, as you say, hopefully the pitch issues won't be a factor next season. LTHV's 5 Scottish Cup matches didn't help. Are they definitely not in the Cup next season? I thought the rumour was that they had gained their licence. Tynecastle's move to a new ground for next season, should relieve some of the pressure on LTHV's ground 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
