This will cover the Linlithgow situation, pending their Members meeting. And possibly the other two (clubs) which have not yet confirmed their application ? Any more club meetings scheduled before 7/6/18 which are known ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering what they would look like compared. They've both got their pros & cons. The only true positive is that its a good problem for the EoS to have and it'll sort itself out in the long term. I'd rather deal with this than the years wasted wondering how integration would work. Which, unfortunately, still rumbles on in the West & North. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmac25 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 So does that make it 33 clubs in the Alex Jack cup? Hawick, Coldstream, Preston Ath, Burntisland, Bonnyrigg and Linlithgow being in the Scottish cup.It makes the AJ pretty lucrative for all the clubs chasing licencing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there something about Heriot-Watt Uni getting licenced at the same time LTHV were meant to have gotten theirs? Because there was some confusion over 2 applications being accepted. Which was later confirmed to be Dalkeith and Blackburn starting the ball rolling, but at the time taken as LTHV and Heriot-Watt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Hawick were traditionally bottom of EoS First Division for all those years they rand two tiers, and they managed to get licenced. It's not out of the realms of possibility for the majority of clubs. 3 minutes ago, LongTimeLurker said: There was also Tom Thornton the Haddington guy on twitter who may or may not have been Old Northerner on here saying he was told they had got their licence OK when he went to one of their games just before the end of the season.

I'm not sure why it's not been announced as the SFA club licensing list was updated on the 10th May and neither LTHV or Heriot-Watt are on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be quite happy to apologise if im proved wrong and Oakley have applied. We have definitely applied trust me. silence from the club is frustrating to say to least we should just come out and make a statement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert James Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, LongTimeLurker said: ...and they can use league cup sections to maintain local derbies Assuming no more applicants, and no clubs not completing their application its 3x13 conferences = 24 League games for 2018/19 . I would therefore suggestion that the League Cup is played on the basis of 8 groups each with 5 clubs (40), with an invited extra club to make up the numbers (for the Cup only). So how about inviting ONE of following ? * Threave Rovers (as SoSL champions) * Duns (as ex-members, whose apparent aim is to return to the EoSL in the not too distant future) * the amateur club which enquired/applied (apparently either St Bernards Mussleburgh Windsor) in case they might apply again next season) * Glasgow University (SFA Member club) Of course, the obvious invitee would be Clydebank, as their application for the EoSL was accepted & deferred for a year (ground problem). But the SJFA would not allow them to participate under any circumstances). If you support Club 40 and 8 equal Cup Groups, VOTE NOW for your choice from the above..............

BroxyBear Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi there, i understand how the leagues could potentially be seeded for the move to the EOS with the current EOS teams but is there any clarification with the leagues in terms of promotions/relegations or will all the conference leagues be treated equally and be playoffs? I hope you understand the question. cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 They don't actually know how many they will actually need to fill 16 places.1 or possibly 2 clubs could exit to Lowland. A couple could be relegated into eos. I suspect top 5 in each conference is likely and then juggling if required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrimpLok Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 As 13 team leagues will only give a 24 game season there is flexibility to have a full playoff at the end to rank all clubs 1-39. Home and Away it would be an extra 4 games each to play the other clubs in the same position or just 2 games each extra with one home and one away game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
