Camelon v Newtongrange Star in the Scottish Cup - may not LL but it will be a hard fought game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 17 hours ago, Burnieman said: Correct, and add to the fact that EoS clubs have no qualms about relegating three clubs (or even four) from 16 to ensure a healthy flow between tiers. If the Premier has a net loss of one club to the LL, they don't save the third bottom club, they promote an extra club from below. Buy aye, every club only thinks of itself. 16 hours ago, Pyramid Watcher said: Bo’ness, Tranent and Linlithgow are now in the LL, replacing Dalbeattie and VoL. if one of them, or all 3 proposed another vote I think it would go through now. Just to add to this in general. I was at the first LL AGM when GF got elected. There was a brief discussion about 'ventilation' which I felt should have gone to a vote but didn't. However at the time there were 4 clubs without lights and there wasn't a lot of love in the room for those clubs, one of which was mine. I felt the LL would have happily done without those clubs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 SPFL Reserve League quietly returned this week. Drop from 10 to 9 teams with Dundee United, Motherwell and Hamilton dropping out. Airdrieonians and Dunfermline entering. Airdrieonians Ayr United Dundee Dunfermline Hibernian Kilmarnock Livingston QOS Queen's Park Going by the fixture list, only playing an 8 game league season with a League Cup group stage guaranteeing an extra 3-4 games. B teams will probably be back next year trying to get in again or attempting to reconstruct things for their benefit. Hopefully the Lowland's grown a backbone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Hearts B 2-2 Linlithgow tonight. Hearts should have won it although both sides missed good chances late on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reserve league is a complete and utter waste of time, either do it properly like the old days or don't do it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wee question for those in the know. Along with the one confirmed relegation spot can a club resign from the league and be 'dropped' to the appropriate league below them. I know Threave did this a few years back, obviously before we had a working pyramid. I'm thinking that if they resigned and applied to another league i.e. EOS if it's Ed Uni, would they have to join at Tier 9 again like Threave did when they joined the WOS. Just thinking out loud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction - there is no automatic relegation from the LL (there's one scenario with no relegation). I'm fairly sure that the bottom team resigning in that scenario would be treated as a club being relegated/joining from the LL and thus go into the EOS Premier Division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Far from guaranteed to have any relegation this season with three Highland League area clubs struggling at the start of the season in League Two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please understand no matter what happens in Tier 4, the only way there will not be a promotion into the LL is if there is not a licensed champion from East/ South / West qualifying to be promoted. Unlikely in the extreme now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely right now, but would be good if they ditched the requirement that the club entering the playoff has to be the champion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, I understand that but my post was about relegation from the Lowland League not promotion into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
