Andy groundhopper Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Rather bizarrely it seems the English FA have thrown clubs out of the FA Cup if there are positive tests, mainly because the games won't get replayed. Will always be isolated cases, across all walks of life, can we really afford to have a non-season ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Vale of Leithen are presumably about to have their floodlights ready within the next month, not seen any progress photos though Edited September 14, 2020 by Ginaro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmac25 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I was in Innerleithan on Thursday and stopped by the ground. No sign of any floodlights or works for it but looks like the fencing is completed at the back. I can't remember if this was there last season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlansHotBath Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 If we get there, the SLFL are considering a group stage for the Lowland League cup this season. I quite like that idea, it extends the season a bit more for teams who would otherwise be knocked out in the first round. I assume 4 groups of 4 once the league winners are in the pyramid play-offs. Could even make the groups vaguely regionalised where possible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I would class the Lowland League Cup as putting more pressure on squads. Wrapping up a full league season between October and April 17th does that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmah Oil Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Not a lot of Highland League players will live down here. But a lot of top players will be on the market if the West of Scotland League cancels the season? Lowland League clubs could have the pick of them for bargain deals. Like supermarket sweep in non league football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigiemack Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I presume teams would need to provide financial evidence that they are fucked to be able to withdraw in December? If not then it's basically giving a free pass to some clubs to make sure they are still in the league in a years time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmah Oil Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Star ans Vale could do back room deal and pull out in December. Brucie bonus for them if Fairydean and Gretna got the drop instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I'd have thought if clubs pull out they might try and avoid relegation all together. The play-offs could still be honoured and the most extreme scenario would be ending up at 19 teams. Whereas more realistically they'd just end up at 16-18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 The SPFL rules and regulations are up to date as of 30th September 2020 and still includes the pyramid play-off. So I don't think this is true, but its getting talked about in certain circles even if it amounts to little more than gossip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised tbh, that cartel in League Two will be looking to protect themselves. Similarly, I've been saying for months that the Lowland League will find a way to have no one relegated at the end of the upcoming season. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they can honour the promotion process like they did last year. Say the SPFL and LL cancel relegation. The LL could comfortably go to 18 now they all have floodlights. Then stick there since 18 was good enough for the HL or work to get back to 16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Scottish Sun online says the Lowland League according to a source in the Scottish Gov is classed as professional and therefore games will take place in the Central Belt. Sun contacted SFA to confirm but await a response. Same article says EoS and WoS not classed as professional so their games are off for the 3 weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more teams in the EoSFL that are members of the SFA than the LL ? How do you differentiate professional? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
