Marten Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 1 minute ago, ShrimpLok said: 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. Just let the group winners play in a group of 3 home and away. Then numbers 2/3 in a group of 6, 5 games per team with the team finishing 2nd having an extra home game. Same with 3/4 and so on until 12/13. Then it's easy to pick the 16 teams for the EOS Premier the year after. Simply the relegated team(s) and then fill up to 16 by teams that haven't been promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rose Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Can we just have 2 big leagues and the winners of each playoff home and away? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only for one season. Might be a few more applicants yet to get it up to 14 team leagues as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine how they could handle 38. Hopefully will be easier this season with Tynecastle moving away. There are a number of cups and some teams like LTHV can go on decent Scottish Cup runs as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a lot of games. Would expect us to be 3rd or 4th round in the big Scottish too. Score to settle with Hibs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work too but it’s extra games you don’t need to play. Either way it seems sensible to have some sort of full ranking system as it won’t be clear until after the League 2 playoff how many teams will be in the following years EoS so adjustments may be needed right down the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommended, apologies, not confirmed yet! 2 minutes ago, Red Rose said: What’s the general feel from the current EOS teams? Open arms? They voted to allow this, so I suppose they are fine with it. Their league is instantly becoming much more competitive, so I can imagine especially smaller teams would be happy with it, as they can be in a division with teams roughly their strength rather than some teams that can give them double figure hammerings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash too Marten. Big travelling supports on the way. I think it’s a great thing. All we need to do is sort out league 2 to be at least 2 down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All together, I think I would want my club to vote for this as it can help the existing EOS clubs move forward too, for example towards obtaining their own licenses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that's one reason why Juniors are moving over to the EoS, to avoid this kind of thing? Bonnyrigg played 6 league games in May, meanwhile the EoS title had been decided and Kelty were in the LL play-offs. A 24 game league like this season and some added play-offs should be doable for this transition season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A league split into more than two is a shambles for deciding the best team. Just get rid of the shan cups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a team in the EOS, I look at it as a neutral, but I meant that I'd like my team to vote for it if I had one. I'm just a lover of non-league football and watch games all over, senior and junior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 By my reckoning if there are 39 clubs in EOSL cups would be:South Challenge Cup ... 69 clubs ... 16 LL, 38 EOSL, 14 SOSL, Glasgow UniEOS Qualifying Cup ... 49 clubs ... 11 LL, 38 EOSL ... assuming no East StirlingshireAlex Jack Cup ... 31 clubs ...
