I don't think they can just move regions on their own choice. If my understanding is correct the only thing that they can do is campaign for the SoS to promote into the WoS(premier being the initial position) instead of LL. There's an agreement between WoSFL and EoSFL. That's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name is Blantyre Soccer Academy but they would play at the Jock Stein Centre in the Hillhouse scheme in Hamilton. Digging back to 22nd May last year the list of newcomers emerged. Sadly Westerton United didn't make the start line. Blantyre Academy delayed for twelve months too. Are they likely to join this time, after all? Annbank United's "Will They Won't They?" question will be answered too with certainty. Looks like another month before much comes out for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annbank Amateurs were supposed to be playing as Annbank Juniors next season but that isn`t happening now. The lads that were promised WOSFL football next season are already looking for new clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Campbeltown Pupils: thescottishfootballpartnership.com/sfp-trust-facilities-funding-campbeltown-pupils-afc/ SFP Trust Facilities Funding – Campbeltown Pupils AFC September 23, 2021 Campbeltown Pupils AFC recently completed the regeneration and reworking of their clubhouse at Kintyre Park with the support of the Scottish Football Partnership Trust and a number of local funding agencies. The project has created a modern home for the club and a platform for development and this is something that the club have already seen the benefits of when they were accepted into the new West of Scotland Development League. “The Invaluable support we received from the Scottish Football Partnership Trust has helped to improve the changing facilities at our home ground. This in turn has allowed us to meet the criteria and standards of the West of Scotland Football League, a wonderful new venture that provides a platform for the development of football at our club and, within the wider community as a whole. Thanks to the generosity of the Scottish Football Partnership Trust, football’s development pathway in the far west of the country is now secure”. “Thanks a million” Alex McKinven, Campbeltown Pupils AFC 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Have we got a list of clubs that are applying for next season yet and where they currently play (league/location) ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnart are looking to play out of Springburn temporarily with another club, we are talking with Partick Thistle Trust to make sure the parks are available and can be upgraded to suit with Finnart moving back to Glasgow green once it’s ready to pass the ground criteria. Two clubs have passed the ground criteria with others due a second visit at the end of May Someone mentioned Easterhouse FA in a recent post. They've some impressive new facilities just opened and have their Under 19's in the SFA Under 19's Cup Quarter Finals: www.facebook.com/easterhousefa Photos See all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Something being talked about elsewhere that probably also belongs in this thread: 23 hours ago, Ginaro said: "Strongly rumoured that both St Cuthbert Wanderers and Threave Rovers have applied to join the West of Scotland League for next season." from Prorege on https://www.nonleaguematters.co.uk/forums/index.php?threads/south-of-scotland-league-2021-2.4863/post-149653 If so it would reduce the SOS to 11, the lowest number of clubs since 2013-14. Makes sense if they want more of a challenge but don't want to go to the LL. They'd probably do well in the WOS Third Division, which would then have 20+ clubs and have to split in some way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was adequate enough to play a full season at it. The point I tried to make was that they got to play in a league with very similar facilities to Stepford. I must admit I was at a game at Huntershill when they played Banks O Dee in the Scottish and it was a horrible place to watch a game but it served a purpose.

It might be good enough to get into the Fourth Division, but they've got to have a plan beyond that. Huntershill wasn't good enough mid-long term for Rossvale. As a club they've had to move on entirely. We're now seeing some of the problems Drumchapel United are having getting Donald Dewar up to WoSFL standard. Same is true for Harmony Row which is meant to be seeing them groundshare for another season. I'm hoping this new place in Kirkintilloch has actually been built with spectators in mind so that KRR (or anyone else) don't face the same challenges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesel1994 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I've heard the following clubs have applied for next season: Blantyre Soccer Academy Easterhouse Eglinton Rossvale Academy Thorn Athletic Threave Rovers West Park United Also a couple of other interesting things. Possible rule changes..... Clubs promoted to the Premier have five years in which to get Licenced, if not they are relegated. League membership to be capped at 80 clubs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Capping the league is giving off a real "closed shop" vibe, which is not really a great look when you're accusing the Lowland League of similar. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
