Guess 3 x 13 would be the format and they might want to open it up again to try to nudge that up to 3 x 14 or beyond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowenan Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 From the EOSFL website: Membership Applications The deadline date having now passed the East of Scotland Football League can confirm that a further thirteen clubs have applied to join with effect from Season 2018/2019. Provided that all applicants are accepted and all follow through with their applications we will have thirty nine clubs in membership and in that event the Board of the League will be recommending a three conference structure with thirteen clubs in each based on Season 2017/2018 finishing positions. In addition the League Cup will be seeded such that clubs will meet opponents from the other conferences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) The extra four would be Penicuik, Dunbar, Craigroyston and Arniston from the last time around. Edited June 1, 2018 by LongTimeLurker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrimpLok Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 If EoS has 39 members next year that means they outnumber the East Region Juniors will only have 36, of which 20 are within the Lowland League catchment and 16 in the Highland League catchment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was arguably the best night ever for The Big Rose Fans. Certainly in my time.To see a championship side humiliated by a Junior football club possibly showed that some Junior clubs can compete with clubs further up the pyramid. C’mon the Rose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You come across people saying, "Aye, I've been like that man and boy" and you think, did you never actually stop and wonder whether that's a good thing? One of the great tragedies of our public life that we don't allow our legislators and leaders to ever change their opinion on anything. 4 hours ago, mick90 said: Junior Football is finished ... it died around 1970 and someone forgot to rubber-stamp it. `Pyramid` is the future ... almost everyone recognises that, so the best thing West clubs can do is to immediately form the missing West senior league ... possibly invite those West Lothian clubs not yet in EoS ... end of a glorious era, but the beginning of a more hopeful one than now . I get where you're going, but... this is pure pish. The Junior Cup finals of the 1980s were magnificent, even into the 90s and carnage of Bo'ness at Ibrox. It's still the case today that the highest standard of non-league football today in Scotland is in the WR Superleague. Whether that will continue for long is another question, but the contention that Junior football "died" 5 years ago, never mind 50 years ago, is just completely ignorant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 7 hours ago, ShrimpLok said: Thing is there isn't any amateur (as in SAFA) league for Fort William to join. North Caledonian League and North juniors lower divisions are effectively the amateur leagues for the Highlands. A bit of summer welfare football as well but its not like there is a thriving SAFA league of 20 West Highland Football teams for Fort William to join. They're just unfortunately a very long way from anyone else who plays football. To be fair, the localish amateur side is South Lochaber Thistle (playing out of Ballachulish and Kinlochleven) and they play in a Glasgow league. I understand they formed when the local Lochaber amateur league collapsed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing official but suspect given they’re at 3 x 13 at the moment they’d be happy enough to have a few more clubs as 3 x 14 clubs would be easier to schedule. Worth asking the question to EOS secretary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
