In that scenario, neither Leith or Preston would make the EoS Premier. A relegated Whitehill would just take Linlithgow's spot in the EoS Premier. With Berwick likely to be relegated, there isn't really a scenario at play that requires a 2nd best 6th placed side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve read there was some debate about the interpretation of the LL’s rules on relegation. There are. WW posted a statement about their new chairman on the 4th May saying they've just been relegated. This could just have been a misunderstanding or an expectation of what was to happen, but going by LL rules a relegated club is notified and have 48 hours to re-apply for any vacancy. So they potentially were notified they'd been relegated by the LL for their Chairman to have said that. Then on the 7th May was when all the news about SFA memberships and Bonnyrigg not receiving one. Which technically means WW haven't been relegated, but the SPFL play-off potentially is a reason for them still to be relegated. Plus Bonnyrigg are still exploring their licensing situation which could have a knock-on effect. Hopefully it'll all be resolved one way or another in the days following the completion of the SPFL play-off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The application for this vacancy had nothing to do with finishing positions. I agree. My point being that even if say Whitehill asked for a voluntary relegation so a 16th club was needed there is no particular reason why Linlithgow would be chosen ahead of other, higher placed licensed clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Annan were admitted to the SFL in 2008 they were chosen over 3 applicants who had finished above them in the EoSFL; Spartans, Edinburgh City and Preston. They were also chosen ahead of Cove, who had won the LL. Annan had finished 7th in their league. In 2002 Gretna were plucked from the Unibond League ahead of a clutch of EoSFL and HL clubs, plus Airdrie Utd. You never know who's going to get picked when it comes down to an application process, because performance in the preceding season is not the only factor. But it's irrelevant, with Berwick coming down there's no vacancy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that last situation was to allow another team from the same area of the country to have a league side. Geography was probably key over areas of the country that already had various league sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
