Regardless. It's double standards.
"five clubs already in the SPFL – Airdrieonians, Cove Rangers, Edinburgh City, Kelty Hearts and Peterhead – don’t yet have a bronze licence."

“Every club was made aware in summer last year of the need to have a Scottish FA Bronze Licence to participate in the SPFL. Regrettably, Buckie Thistle failed to respond to any of the three subsequent follow-up letters sent in October, February and March.
“They are not compliant with SPFL Rules and failed to apply for a period of grace by the 31 March 2024 deadline. The SPFL Board has huge sympathy for Buckie and their fans, but has no option but to enforce our Rules.”
Ignoring the SFA would seem to be the issue.
Presumably, the other clubs applied for the "period of grace" to comply. Bear in mind that the new rules were only introduced in the summer, which might have been quite difficult for those clubs.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Buckie haven’t replied because they want to stay in the highland league.
Would be a massive expense to jump up to the second division for Buckie.

Someone's telling porkies here, and I suspect it's not all on the SPFL/SFA.

SPFL is becoming the home of statements. All getting a bit farcical this now trying to get one up on someone else. What happened to sorting these things out in private and moving on? This stuff just makes the game look pathetic

Got to laugh. I tried to read up on what the Bronze criteria is, but the SFA website page searches take you to isn't working! Can anyone help?

Buckie Thistle released contents of a decision notice saying that decisions on the areas that needed improvement had been deferred to the 15th of May, and are now looking at taking the decision to remove them from the playoffs to arbitration.

I suspect it was not agreed and the Buckie representative has misunderstood, hearing what he wanted to hear.Last edited by PHeffernan; 26-04-2024 at 02:12 PM.

Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Should be automatic bottom two down in every division. At the bottom, replace with winners of Highland League and Lowland League. Add a play off for bottom third versus top third below for extra excitement.

The things for me regarding this license thing is a farce, Kelty hearts,edinburgh city, cove, Peterhead and also Airdrie have the exact same status as Buckie regarding eufa license thing.. all are lowest level.

The SFA last updated their club licence list last month (January) It shows five clubs already in the SPFL – Airdrieonians, Cove Rangers, Edinburgh City, Kelty Hearts and Peterhead – don’t yet have a bronze licence
It is understood these clubs are working to attain the required licence, but there is uncertainty about what could happen if they don’t achieve it in time for next term

I dunno, I kinda feel as if though Buckie have ****ed themselves rather than any SFA bias. Didn't they qualify for the playoffs in previous seasons no problem?
That said, we have far too many WoS teams in the SPFL so hope they win their appeal and relegate Clyde.

The official line is that Buckie didn't ask for one.
