aberfeldy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Rumour has it that there was one late application, not considered at the EoS EGM. Does anyone know who it was/is - guesses include Bo'ness ? Dunbar ? I heard it was Ballingry Rovers, rising from the dead and selling 5 loaves and two fishes in their canteen[emoji106] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert James Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 1 minute ago, Sergeant Wilson said: What? Cinderford Town (Southern League '2nd 'division)(4th non league tier) declined promotion, and were advised that this was a breach of the rules. They were given the choice of accepting promotion, or of being demoted. They accepted promotion. 2 minutes ago, LongTimeLurker said: Don't think that's true. Clubs have to apply to be eligible for promotion from step 7 to step 6 of nonleague in the English pyramid and given the disparity in populations between Scotland and England that's probably roughly comparable to moving from tier 6 to tier 5 at the moment in a Scottish context. http://www.thefa.com/news/2016/Jan/17/applications-received-step-7-to-step-6 https://www.onefootballforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/step-7-promotion-candidates-with-possible-step-6-newbies-for-2017-18.13761/ Yes but these relate to clubs that are Tiers 10 & 11 overall in the English pyramid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having 42 teams in the national divisions and 34 in tier 5 is equivalent to having about 800 clubs at those levels in England. That takes you down a lot of tiers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 36 minutes ago, Sergeant Wilson said: Those two and Ross County have had huge amounts of money pumped in by benefactors. Peterhead to a lesser degree. Elgin are nearer to a bench mark. Comparing 2 clubs to 2 other clubs when you're at the head of an organisation representing over 150+ members is not the point. 90% of them will probably never play in the SPFL. That doesn't mean the majority cannot benefit from being in an integrated pyramid. We're meant to have UEFA to thank for the pyramid we have, the next version we'll see is being molded by individual clubs. Yet there are those looking to the same two people (TJ & McRae) for change when they've already spent the past 13 years talking about it and doing next to nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
