As an SFA member club, we are not aware of any Pyramid Review conducted by
@ScottishFA
which addressed the ongoing concerns of clubs at tier 6 and below in the Lowland League area. Such a review is urgently required and would hope the governing body address this as a priority.
We can confirm that members have voted in favour of including B teams for season 2023/24.
This vote comes following the Pyramid Review undertaken by the Scottish FA this season.

To quell speculation and rumour, Blackburn United can confirm that on 16th March the Club lodged an application for membership of the East of Scotland Football League. A further statement will be made once the EoSFL convene an EGM to consider applications received.

We would absolutely endorse David's comments. As we said a couple of weeks ago, the SFA have not carried out a proper review at all, just an exercise in shoehorning B teams into the Pyramid at any cost. We would call on
@ScottishFA
to withdraw this proposal & engage with clubs.
Livingston boss David Martindale warns against 'elitism' amidst Conference League plans. Says he's in favour of B teams - but they should have to work their way up the pyramid
