Bonnyrigg were deducted points in November. Surely can’t be one rule for one team and not the other.

Any points deduction would have to be for the current season.

Exactly, I fully expect them to be docked 6 points on Thursday straight after the hearing.

If they can confirm their stadium tenancy doesn’t that mean that there is no issue? So they won’t be docked 6 points. That is a rather large if as it is “show me the money” time on Thursday. But it would be strange if they haven’t sorted this out in time.
I hope this is wrong and they lose the 6 points.

what was the justification of the drop to entry level from bronze? If its something with the stadium then would Clyde not have something similar? As Socks said though there are matchday things like doctor in attendance that impact the level of licence you have.

Did they sort out the player wages issue ? Is that still on the agenda ?

I`m not expecting a points deduction here. The Herald states that the charges relate to the stadium, all clubs must submit by the 31st March what stadium they intend to be playing at for the following season. Clyde submitted the paperwork in time, Hamilton did not, seems nothing more than an admin error? Might be more to it, but that`s what the Herald have said.

A reason might be that their stadium only has 3 sides. Perhaps a certain team from Grangemouth will also be worried.

the charge is for the drop to entry level which is related to first team criteria

BBC reported it was a "variety of failings".

the ground issue is a different matter.

There certainly seemed like a “variety of failings” when the news first broke. On P&B, Hamilton also spoke of a lack of club Doctor (at the time), on match days.

I`ve no idea what I`m meant to be looking at in that list,it`s all gobbledygook to me. I did notice that like us, F*lkirk have a silver for their ground. How`s that when they only have 3 sides compared to our luscious fully seated 4 sided stand?

I don`t think they`ll get deducted points but I`m a pessimist. Hope for the best but expect the worst.

Not sure exactly what determines what level you are but how are Falkirk and Partick both Silver level whereas East End is only Bronze level. What determines a stadiums level?

SPFL licencing

if you have spare day, you can read through the licence requirements.

Short version is they don`t just look at the stadium generally but consider the quality of the playing surface, the facilities available, the accessibility of the stadium etc.

Falkirk, for example, would be higher as it`s newer so therefore more accessible. It`s also used as a community facility due to the pitch they stole from the local greengrocers window display.

Yeah I had a quick look at it and it is dependant on various elements.

Probably fly in the face of opinion but I wouldn’t want us to be ‘that team’ and stay up on nonsense like this. If we go down it’s because we’re rank and if we stay up (which I think we will) it will be because we fought tooth and nail to do so.

"Theres no dignity in scrabbling about hoping to survive on technicalities"

dont think we are scrabbling about and its not like we have complained etc to get the SFA looking at them. This is all standard licencing stuff. Would it be the worst thing if it happened and we stay up, keep Lennon/Mullen and rebuild much stronger for next season?

Think East End is pretty good for accessibility? Raised platforms, easy to access disabled toilets, can access the catering facilities (which you can`t at every ground in a wheelchair). OK the car parking isn`t ideal but other than that.

If they lose points then so be it. I don`t particularly want to be a team that survives on default but if they don`t comply with the rules that everyone else has to comply with then that`s that.
