Potential movement for a BSC scenario then. Not that I'm saying they will but it is there to be thrown into the equation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. There is much more to getting a licence than just the ground facilities. The nearest licensed grounds would be in Paisley or Kilwinning, but if they haven't met any other criteria then it doesn't matter a jot. I can't recall seeing any intimation that they were progressing a licence application, so I don't believe that they are currently in a position to do so. Creetown on the other hand, I do believe that they have had some money behind them and have improved their ground with a view to becoming licensed. They do have floodlights, but I don't know if they are of the standard required. Edited April 10, 2023 by Footballfirst 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor7 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Are Beith interested in going up? Linlithgow will be going up automatically, I can't see anything changing that outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently their compliance was confirmed at the club's AGM. That being the case it could be a two legged playoff between the EOS and SOS champions if the WOS champion is unlicensed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O looks like there will be a play off after all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beith could throw every penny they have at the team and it would not be near the budgets of the teams you mention. I can assure you if beith do win the league it will not have been by throwing money at their team they work to a strict budget. Beith will eventually get their license when they are ready to get it. If it takes a couple of years to get it so be it. The stability of the club comes first. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beithboy Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I don’t think so, there would not be a ground suitable within a reasonable distance and the nearest grounds are grass pitches so it would be difficult to have a good standard pitch if it was getting played on every week and getting no time to recover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I caused offence, my point is if a team could get licensed retrospectively then teams would throw money at the playing squad rather than the upgrades. If you wee upgrading the park to spec you wouldn’t have as good a team on the park. From a personal note I think it’s bloody brilliant that Darvels Chairman is going to get another airing of his words last year. At least another year of wait for him! Well done on a good season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
