This could all have been avoided if they had just allowed them to merge with Spartans.

The only benefit Spartans could have got was an L1 place which i'm sure they will eventually get off their own backs and without the burdens a merger may have brought.

Stranraer management view was that we had to win yesterday as the intelligence was that the only remaining EC issue was a technical one on accounts submission. May be different in 2025/26 though unless they can persuade Edinburgh Council on expanding capacity at Meadowbank or find another compliant home. 

Meadowbank needs precisely one covered seat. It would be ridiculous (if typical) for the SPFL to insist on that, but even if they do, it surely wouldn't be difficult to instal.

It’s clearly not the one seat that is the issue, but the associated licensing and extra costs that would seem to be an issue, for stadia with 500 or more.

I don’t know what they are, but would seem that it would be fairly substantial or would not have been an issue in the first place.

And I guess these costs would be borne by the sports centre, and by extension the taxpayer. That being said, the amount of money they waste in the city with their vanity projects it’s probably small potatoes.

I know, that was my point.

Last I heard it's nothing to do with the stadium criteria anyway, it's about paperwork.

Broxburn Athletic will provide the LL with another very capable and well supported club.

I'm quite happy with them a team who will have away fans at CP.

Broxburn 5-1 up at halftime v Dalbeattie.  (9-2 aggregate)

 

A welcome addition to the Lowland League.

11-2 now. No way should the SOS league be at same level as EOS and WOS.

The SoS league can actually put up an entrant for promotion unlike the benighted WoS.

You can't say that! Some people will red dot you for it.

The three teams that the SOS have put forward have lost 10-0, 10-1 and 12-2 in the play-offs...

And besides the one 3-way play-off the SoS haven't had any real impact on proceedings beyond giving a club one decent gate from the extra home game.

The Dalbeattie chairman practically admitted before the 1st leg on "norrie works" YouTube film that they were happy away from the LL. The travelling had caught up wi them. 

When the champion club is coming out wi that (and I've always defended the SoSFL at tier 6) its maybe time to look at the SoSFL standing in the pyramid.

Tell you what why not take all the non SPFL teams ( especially juniors ) out of the Scottish cup too as they have no chance of winning it ? At least Dalbeattie didn’t fake it a la Buckie & Beith.
