Fredeye Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Can someone explain or provide a link to the details surrounding promotion and relegation to and from the lowland league?

The links on SLFL website are broken. Thanks in advance. The winners of the WoSFL, EoSFL and SoSFL all go into a round robin play-off (providing they have an approved Scottish FA licence). The winner of the play-off tournament is promoted to the Lowland League. The team at the bottom of the Lowland League is automatically relegated to either the WoSFL, EoSFL or SoSFL depending on their geography. If a team is relegated into the Lowland League from the SPFL League Two, and no team is promoted from the Lowland League to the SPFL League Two (because the Highland League champions win the play-off), then the Lowland League would require to relegate two teams, both going to their suitable tier 6 league in terms of their geography. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit you left out is that the team at the bottom of the LL do not get relegated if the LL champion is promoted and Club 42 from the SPFL is relegated to the HL rather than the LL. Really should be the reverse scenario of your last paragraph with two clubs from the playoff being promoted but that's not how the rules were drafted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Part C) it says the criteria to decide who goes through if points are the same. Unless I'm getting it wrong, if goal difference is the same, then goals scored are the same, head to head is the same, how can goals scored away from home be different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredeye Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Thank you all for your responses. Do you know which teams from the top of EoS and SoS don’t have the required license? I am right in saying only Pollok of the front runners would not qualify for the play offs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollok are very much in the process of pushing for their licence. I'm not sure where they are with their floodlights or how much flexibility they will be given in that respect, but I certainly wouldn't rule them out at this stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EOS only has two clubs without a licence, they are 23 points behind the leader so neither are winning the league. SOS has two clubs in contention without a licence, one is 5 points behind with 6 to play and the other is 9 behind with 9 to play. None of the SOS teams are likely to beat the EOS or WOS champions anyway. Going by previous seasons, unless the deadline is extended Pollok have until the end of next month to have everything ready for the licensing committee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Obviously us at the bottom end hope the WOS champs go up and nobody comes downAt the moment I would say that's the most likely scenario. Looking at the Lowland League table, it seems unlikely that any team will be relegated to the WoSFL this season. It would take a big upturn in form by both Vale of Leithen and Gretna, and a collapse by Cumbernauld Colts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Every chance the bottom 6 just now could be the ones to drop. Largs Cumnock Benburb KRR appear to be able to see out wins better than those below. Must tip my hat to Troon, thought they would have been in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 23 points was the safety mark for the end of Phase One. It's obviously not an exact science, but that gives some sort of indication of what the safety mark for the end of the season might be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
