All 5 SPFL clubs have to get one, all are working towards it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 1 minute ago, Jacksgranda said: Well presumably they have shown they are working towards it. If not, do they get expelled at some future point? Assume nothing. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek to illustrate the point that for a change of this nature, the SPFL should be providing ample notice of at least 2 years to avoid this nonsense. Clubs got 10 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accent-Unknown Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Two things can be true: 1. The SPFL didn't give enough notice. 2. Buckie could've and should've still responded to any of the 3 letters the SPFL sent them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishZizou Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) It's the 4th tier of Scottish football where absolutely nobody is full time. All this talk about licenses is baffling. Who would care if a team playing in the 4th tier didn't have a license? What difference does it make? All people care about is heading along and watching legitimate competition and a meritocracy. The whole football league and lowland league self-preservation acts are getting boring, the pyramid is a farce if arbitrary measures are put in place.

Will be interesting to see what Buckie come out with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The need for EK and Buckie to get theirs now is because of the commencement of the lower pyramid playoff, the 5 current member clubs do not have that time pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have Bonnyrigg got, and why not give Buckie and EK and anyone else the same length of time? This has been rushed in, fair play to EK for managing to get over the line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not difficult, this was intimated to all clubs last July, some chose to be proactive, some didn’t. It’s entirely fair that current member clubs are given the requisite time to get their license. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best guess, and We'll see what Buckie say in response, is that EK and Bonnyrigg have actually been communicating with the SPFL. While Buckie simply have not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 If you were a Buckie Thistle fan you'd be livid with the club. As a neutral who supports a L2 team, I'm livid with Buckie for making it easier for EK to get into the league. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
