Jack Burton Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 There you go that's no a pyramid then,until something is done about tier 5 relegation and yes theres naewhere to go in the north then the HFL clubs are defo at an advantage ?Pretty much all the teams that could step up to the HL already have from the North Juniors. They couldn't even fill one vacancy in the HL. Bar a few the rest of the teams out with the HL are not far off amateur teams playing in front of little to zero crowds.The LL will have more tiers cause there is plenty of clubs outwith tier 5 to create additional leagues. The EOS Premier has a number of decent sized clubs. I'm sure if it was the other way around you wouldn't want WW playing in an amateur league just so there was the same number of tiers in the HL and LL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True as far as it goes but could also have been said about Formartine, Turriff United and Strathspey Thistle at one point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only 2 preliminary rounds. It's not the LL that is disadvantaged. Its the EoS/SoS club that used to be a LL side that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In PR1, 1 club will receive a bye at random (the 4 qualifiers aren't eligible), with the remaining 26 playing in 13 ties. The 14 remaining clubs play PR2 and the 7 winners go to the first round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitburn Vale Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 The NCL are positive about the pyramid,I know one of the guys that runs St.Duthus has already mentioned that they are ambitious,pity about the north juniors but agree with an earlier post that BoD this time next year should be preparing for their first season in the SHFL. As for fairness,as already been mentioned the population imbalance between north and south is awkward but who in their right mind can deny the Highland league,a league that has been up and running since 1893 and produced 6 teams that now ply there trade in the SPFL( Ross County,Inverness Thistle,Caledonian(ICT),Peterhead,Elgin City and now Cove Rangers),their rightful place at tier 5 in the pyramid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Tony Muir was supposed to sign for Broxburn then Penicuck and then goes and signs for Whitehill..... Stuff like that happens all the time and if you had to choose between Berwick or Vale, with no disrespect to Vale, I think 9 times out of 10 anyone would choose Berwick. Dont know why you're having a dig at the boy for breaking his arm last year he always gave his all in a Whitehill shirt and always has good things to say about the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitburn Vale Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Popped out to see Rosslyn chapel today with ma 2 laddies,afterwards popped across the glen to my 1st visit to Ferguson park. The main gates were open so we popped in for a look. Good set up and very well looked after ground too,I can see why the social club is a winner. Midlothian council have went a bit daft wae the speed bumps thru the village though!! Will head out to take in a game next season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
