Can someone give an updated list of what teams are now remaining Junior in the East. I stand to win a big bet from my old man. I told him a year ago, Lochore Welfare would be in the Super League within 5 years. The way things are going, it’s looking good for my prediction

I know anything is possible in Scottish football, but surely they can't have the brass neck still to call it "super". What happens to your bet then?

Don't think that would be possible as there's 16 teams above the LL dividing line, unless some Tayside teams joined the EoS or North Juniors, but by that time the game would be well and truly up!

St Andrew's United are holding one right this minute as we speak to decide there future

They'd be breaking new ground if they move to the EoS - so far I don't think anyone north of Hill o Beath have jumped.

Kelty are obviously further north than Hill o Beath too. Looking at the grounds it seems that Kelty are probably about 100m or so further north than Dundonald Bluebell but it’s a tight one.

I went to Thornton Hibs v Fauldhouse United tonight and overheard a conversation between 2 Thornton & 1 Fauldhouse committee members. The Fauldhouse one seemed absolutely certain they are staying junior. The Thornton ones didn't confirm or deny what they were doing. They said they aren't overly bothered either way as they wouldn't get a license with their ground anyway (which I can imagine), but they don't fancy playing in a Tayside dominated league.

I just meant this year. Kelty have already made it to the promised land.

I don't think they'll be considered too far if Clydebank have been accepted.
I wonder if Linlithgow and Sauchie join Bo'ness and Camelon whether Clydebank would consider going for it now seeing as these teams are not that far away from Glasgow

After two interesting meetings Saints will be putting their application in to the EOS. All indications are that the application will be looked on favourably.

Last Friday there was an overwhelming vote to stay junior but there was some frustration amongst the supporters that neither of the new management team were able to make the meeting. After speaking to the management team and given the remarkable rushtowards the EOS since Friday it was felt there should be a second meeting.

This was as well attended as the first and the management team's passion and confidence that they can build a team to compete in the seniors was instrumental in converting most of the doubters.

As stated in the official statement it was agreed that whatever the result of the vote everyone needed to get behind the club. The mood was positive.

This issue for Clydebank was getting a ground organised for next year as they work on improvements. Rumour has it that the Juniors in the West weren't keen.
