Now hearts are trying to kid on they're grouped with the old squirm lol. The Scottish cup final says no. Money is the answer to how they got in. Its not a new thing in the late 60s Jock Stein wanted Celtic reserves to get the vacant slot in Division 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did the big boys seem so against this ? Was it money driven ? Why can't a 20-21 year old play in the first team ? Some do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I see Catch Up have given up playing the middle man after being bashed by both sides for a bit too long. So no updates from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A separate General Meeting looked at that matter and a constructive debate was held - no vote was ever envisaged at either of those meetings on guest teams. That will happen shortly 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 They were probably debating whether to let 2 or 3 in too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I have a feeling that arms will be twisted for this vote. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieb Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Presumably Tranent and Cowdenbeath get to vote this time. Will that make a difference? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparticus Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 A yes vote to let three b teams in will completely ruin the lowland league. The powers that be should take away the promotion slot if this happens. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vote on continuing Guest clubs went 11-4-1. Berwick being the one club to abstain. The vote on accepting all 3 Guest clubs was rejected 3-13. Since then the OF & Hearts have said it's all or nothing. It's not then a case of just swapping out Bonnyrigg & VoL for Cowdenbeath & Tranent. I wouldn't be shocked if VoL are begging to be the 20th club so no team is idle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 There's usually SFA Board rep(s) at these AGMs. I wouldn't read anything into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would guess that the first vote was indicative rather than formal, similar to what happens in the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
