Is it a totally different Edinburgh City to the one that got promoted out the LL like?
The social club is all that’s left of the original Edinburgh City FC, which stopped playing football in the 1950s.
The current football club was originally Postal United, but changed their name to Edinburgh City (in the 1990s?). Apart from the name, there’s no connection to either the social club or the original football club.

What happened to the Baxter's Place Edinburgh City club money when it was sold?
What has that got to do with the current football club?
Clue - nothing.

It was more to emphasise how good Jeanfield were…..but no harm dropping big names into the mix
First time I’ve seen Alloa and East Fife described as “big names” …

A 'borders' club is 'on the brink' by definition.

I don’t say I know the ins and outs, we’ve secured a 5 year sponsor deal, surely that is us stable?
That's what the Rangers fans used to say ...

More likely to be administration than liquidation so 15 points deduction or whatever it is and someone can buy themselves a SPFL Club for chickenfeed !
How many SPFL clubs actually make a profit?
If you can't see a return on your money, then 'chickenfeed' may be the fair market price.

They might not be in Galloway but at least two of the three are unquestionably in the Borders. Annan is within a comfortable half day's walk from England itself. The Borders' western component included Lochmaben and Dumfries as key strongholds. Both of which being significantly closer to English territory than Peebles on the other side of the country.
Has Peebles been moved? Last time I looked it was pretty near the middle.

My reading of the rule is that's about signing new players, the and/or terminology is not always the clearest.
Professional players who are already registered can play (they can also refuse to play!)
I don't think a default will occur until payday actually dawns. All that seems to have happened so far is that payment is "not guaranteed", so there might be a default on the horizon.

Is that genuine? I'm sure that most, if not all, the Celtic fans on here maintain that is a derogatory/bigoted/sectarian word when describing any Celtic fan.
I must have imagined the thousands of Celtic fans singing "I'm no a Billy I'm a Tim ..."

Agree but tbf I would imagine the majority of board members at football clubs would have that horrible Tory mindset, it's shown even in the way clubs have voted on stuff to purely protect their own interests rather than for the benefit of Scottish football. The most I have probably been disgusted at my board however was when they didn't want to adopt the living wage as they seen it as a political gesture, imagine actually having that outlook on life. In the end they agreed to match but refused to be recognised as a living wage employer.
When you become a company director, you have a legal duty to act in the interests of the company, and hence its shareholders. You political views are irrelevant.

Why would you be invited along tae it? You do nothin in any way shape or form to help the club. In fact you do the opposite. Encourage people not to spend money in the club and speak negatively ony opportunity you get. So why the hell would the club think tae invite you? The club is better off without ye you are poison as is your wee fan boy.
Does anyone know definitively how the 'club' is now structured?
If it's still a club, then only the (paying) members should attend any AGM or EGM
If it's become a limited company, only shareholders.
If it's now wholly owned by Mr Gall, then there's no need for a meeting at all!

Some very knowledgeable posters on here, re league set-ups. I had never heard of Junior Football and still find the whole Scottish Pyramid a bit difficult to get my head around. That is not to say the English Pyramid is some kind of beacon. The National League is crackers, with some of the wages being paid. Tranmere Rovers were asking 19 quid, when down there. Even now, I can support two non-league teams, two games each, for a total of 22 quid instead. All the clubs need the cash. You get a bit of politics in the mix, too, with the system meaning clubs get shifted about e.g. from North West Counties to The Midlands League. Northwich Victoria and Winsford United both getting less home games after being moved. Plus, feeder leagues may still not meet ground requirements. Then, the Welsh League taking players because it is an easy commute. The so-called smaller clubs who seem most content down here, have a good young crowd who don't want to be telly fans only, good facilities they can hire out, get themselves as a venue for a Ground Hop Day etc. The balancing act for loads of clubs is so tough.
I’m not surprised you hadn’t heard of ‘Junior ‘ football. Even in Scotland, it was largely unknown outside its geographical heartland. Basically, it cut off its clubs and players from mainstream football for no good reason, following some long-forgotten dispute.
The current pyramid will eventually sort itself out. The remaining ‘Junior’ outposts in the NE and ‘midlands’ will eventually see sense.I’ll sit back and wait for the abuse!

Morton had an asset stripper trying to drive them out of extinction out of spite. Not something the Queenies will ever experience, being an utter non-entity of a football operation based in bumpkin country.
INTO extinction, shurely?

No, it's around the definition of what "new" is. If it hasn't happened for 40 years then can it be considered "new". Boring and a distraction from the point I'm trying to make.
So I had no desire to get drawn into it.
So it's about semantics, not pedantry.

I don't really want to get into a debate around pedantry.
Thanks for responding.
To be pedantic, isn't it a debate about chronology, not pedantry?

Who will wear the hoops when the Celtic play Buckie ?
Fact - Buckie play in green & white hoops cause Celtic donated their first ever strip.
Wikipedia says "... local legend has it that Celtic donated the strips to the club."
I'd suggest that it is some way away from a "fact".

No chance Spartans v Hearts is getting shifted. SFA stopped doing it after Albion Rovers took the piss
No they didn’t. The cup rules still allow the game to be moved, at the sole discretion of the SFA board.

Wonder how much it might liven up the Cup if teams were allowed to pay each other to swap home and away...
That was essentially the case in England up until a few years ago. Generally agreed to be a horrible idea, and so scrapped.

Its about time we got rid of all of this Woke stuff and allowed organisations to conduct their own affairs they way they wish. Let people decide whether they pay the money or not. Forget this legal nonesense
The law dates from the last century, so I don't understand your "woke" comment.
Would you really prefer it if shops, pubs, insurers and other businesses were allowed to conspire together to fix prices, and kill competition? That would inevitably lead to higher prices for everyone.

No home game until March
in West of Scotland Football League

And if they can’t be scrapped, surely they can do away with replays. If it’s good enough for the proper Scottish Cup, it should be ok for the Auchinshoogle County Jubilee Cup, or whatever.
