All the best of luck to him at Fort Hank

Amusing to see people justifying 19 quid to watch league two football. It was bad enough at 17 quid. Every single person saying it is fine would have been losing the plot if Thomson tried this and used the same argument. "You'd have just spent the money on food or a pint anyway". Great argument . Thank God for the 'anonymous wealthy backer' or god knows what we'd have to charge the fans.

I suppose this is a natural consequence of a league table with standings that have no integrity due to including B teams that cannot win the league. Once they are removed perhaps the league table can be taken seriously.

Yes I was a bit unfair on the Highland League but Level 5 has to be sorted for automatic relegation to happen. Anyway best for a different thread. Today is a day to celebrate

Wonderful stuff from Stranraer. And absolutely no way should there be automatic relegation until the lowland league contains the next best teams in the area of Scotland it represents. That's up to them to fix first

All the best of luck to Stranraer. Hope you pump them.

Honestly as bad a performance as there has been in the last few years, and that is saying something. Only hope is the McCall now knows exactly what he is dealing with here.

The only potential impact here can be a drop in crowds. Certain people wanted us out of Broadwood even if there was no better offer. They've got what they wanted. In five years time it won't be shettleston juniors v broadwood, it will be shettleston juniors or nothing. Congratulations to those folk

How much income do you think we are missing out on by not being able to open a club shop on non-match days?

Let's face it, those who were willing to move us to any old shithole as long as it wasn't cumbernauld, even if it meant changing the club's name will now get their way.

Honestly have no idea how Clyde make decisions despite throwing money away as an owner in the hope of getting some information. In the last few months we had an AGM to vote in the Board, followed by some updates on working parties who were looking into improving Broadwood and/or potential relocations. Fast forward a few weeks and we've had some sponsor force the Board into signing a player they didn't want to sign, then 5(?) new people added to the Board without any mechanism for the owners to do anything about it (including one returning board member who previously tried to kill the club by changing its name and moving us to a stadium that didn't yet exist), immediately followed by announcing a move to fucking Hamilton (christ, i'd have rather the cliftonhill april fools joke was true). I'm not saying we should stay at Broadwood but I literally have no idea how the fan-owned club works or how the owners actually influence things in any way.

And folk on here were claiming it was essential for Scottish football that the SPFL allowed more promotion from this league?

I am suggesting that, yes. Blocking fair promotion into Tier 5 should be sorted if Tier 5 wants more upwards promotion. This seems reasonable to me. Fairness will only be achieved when we have a system that guarantees teams find their level not one that is tweaked now and again to increase the chances of promotion for whatever team happens to be getting bankrolled to a league title in a season, or gifts a playoff to team that has played three games.

I am sure we agree on where we would all like to be but there's absolutely no reason why it is "essential" that an extra team in League Two should drop into a league half made up of dross that are voting against plans to let better teams get promoted into it. in the last couple of years we've had a highland league team getting in a promotion play-off having played three league games and a lowland league team twice refusing more promotion into it whilst making space for old firm B teams. The essential thing is for the leagues outside the SPFL to ensure they are as competitive as possible to prove they actually produce the next best teams in the country and make the prospect of dropping into it less disastrous.

Surely it's time to drop this. starting to sound like old firm fans using something like this to point score
