Like several other clubs when the Lowland League asked for applications, if there was an imbalance at the end of the season a club may have been able to join the Lowland league by applying . Today it was confirmed that with Berwick Rangers being relegated to the Lowland league and no club with license being promoted then no club would be relegated from the Lowland league the Lowland League would have it’s full compliment of 16 clubs including Whitehill Welfare resulting in no applications were being accepted at this time . .

A disappointing way to end the season knowing we can play better than we did today and ultimately ended our season sooner than we would have liked .We would like to thank our support that has followed us in numbers this season and hopefully will continue to grow next season in the new Premier league in the East of Scotland league .We would like to thank our sponsors and all the helpers with whom not we would not be able to compete at this level and higher in our ambitions .Hard work starts now to gather in sponsorship and funding to help us be challenging next season .If you know of any company you may think can help we have a range of packages to suit .Please contact the committee in the first instance   ,once again we thank you .

Broxburn Athletic Football Club have been granted SFA membership and with it we will be issued with our entry level Licence .This will be ratified at the SFA AGM on the 12th of June . I big thank you goes out to all involved with the processing in getting everything in place to satisfy the licence criteria . Well done to all with a special mention to Alan Cunningham and Christopher Townsley who worked tirelessly to collate all the material and documentation in place for our application .This gives us the opportunity to go forward and will be doing our utmost to improve and successfully lead the club to more success and build on our achievements this season .With your help we can make it happen so keep “Backing The Burn ” .

So near yet so far ,when up 2-0 we were in a great position but credit to Bonnyrigg who never gave up and their ten men secured the title in the last ten minutes . We can be proud of the effort of the players this season and giving us the dream . We will be playing in the newly formed premier league next season which everybody knows will probably be a better league to play our football in and competition will be better for the club. Yes we would have took the promotion but it is not the end of the world as expressed earlier . We can still win silverware with Tranent in our way next week at Forrester’s park in the third round of the King cup with a Trip to Newtongrange in the quarter final awaiting the victors .

After last nights 2-1 victory for Bonnyrigg Rose over Penicuik Athletic has gave the club a chance of winning the championship . Arrangements for the game are as follows with a big gate anticipated there will be three gates open for all spectators .Two at the normal ground entry point to the west of the park and a third gate will be open about the half way line on the west side of the main building .Admission will be £6 for adults and £3 for concession’s .Broxburn Athletic season tickets are valid for this match . Car Parking will be of a premium ,there is public parking 200yards down Greendykes road from the park. There is also limited parking in Church Street which is situated to the east of the ground if you are coming from the east turn right at the church and travel down the street you will see the ground on the left at the end of the road .Broxburn Athletic have a licensed bar in the function room in the main building alternatively The Buchan Park Bowling Club will be open for business ..Spectators are asked to adhere to Broxburn Athletic Football Club’s  Ground Rules and are reminded that the tarmacadam area around the pavilion is a no smoking area .Smoking is permitted on the covered terrace and banking’s around three sides of the park .

Disappointing result today and now for the first time this season relying on another club doing us a favour if we are to progress to the championship . An even game  separated by one goal . We have played better and will be up for the challenge should Bonnyrigg Rose beat Penicuik on Wednesday evening with a 6-45 kick off . The club would like to thank everyone for their support and long may it continue . (full report on game in results page )
