Buckie were pretty good and probably deserved to win but there wasn't much in it. I would fancy us to turn the result round when we play them in the league.

Big kick off tomorrow then. It'll be interesting to see what kind of crowds turn up - is it too much to expect some kind of post-lockdown boost? Had a casual look through Twitter and there are very few clubs making a big deal of their opening home fixture as far as I can tell. Sometimes I wonder if some HL clubs are that bothered about getting folk through the turnstiles. Anyone know what's the status of corporate bookings at these games? There didn't seem to be any corporate at the Cove v Stirling game nor the Dons game last night (the two games I've been to).
There was a decent turnout at our game yesterday not sure exactly how many but it looked and felt like more than normal.
Corporate is an issue for clubs I think mainly because they are needing to use different spaces for players changing rooms. At Brechin the bar under the stand is where the away team are changing in at the moment.
(And you’re right “Hedgemen” is ridiculous!!)

Sounds like he was at fault for the first though. He'll be a total liability, even at that level. Good luck with him, you'll need it.
Absolutely delighted we've got rid of him.
I can assure you we’ve had worse over the last few years. Much, much worse.

Well, he managed 84 minutes today... before getting sent off and probably costing us the game (as Cowden scored the winner in the 89th minute).
Can't say we weren't warned.
I take it you haven’t seen the incident because that’s pretty unfair on Davo. Michael Paton played a terrible ball straight to a Cowdenbeath player and he had pretty much no option but to put a challenge in or it was a certain goal. Paton was totally to blame for it.

Returned to playing, not sure for whom just yet. I knew he was too young and healthy to be going into coaching, and so it proved.
He was playing as a trialist for Arbroath the other week and Dick Campbell seemed pretty keen on signing him.

Scott Reekie has signed for Ed City.
The new Maldini or a bone idle shagbag? Any thoughts?
Scott Reekie is a pretty decent player. One of the few success stories of the last couple of seasons.
Can play centre of defence or full back and is good going forward.
I think he'll do well for Edinburgh City.

Aren’t you pretty dire financially at the moment? Going to need to be a hell of a bounce back.
We aren’t dire financially. There is going to be an injection of cash, whether it is enough for us to be competitive at the top of the league I don’t know.

Well that’s Michael Paton gone. I’m sorry for him it didn’t work out, but virtually no one thought it was a good idea when he was appointed.

I will enjoy seeing diddy clubs like yours vanish from the game
I hate to be the one to break it to you. But Partick Thistle are a diddy club.

The distancing at Rugby Park is ridiculous.
I really do not understand the 500 limit in an 18,000 seater stadium. I understand even less why they cannot at least have 500 in each stand.
They had wee painted circles on the terracing at Brechin yesterday. You were supposed to stand on one and not move. Everyone ignored them completely. Despite the result it was brilliant to be at the match and it was almost normal.

No real surprise to see incorporation happening regardless of where were playing next season.
We really need a change of direction and it’s important that there will be pretty much a new board. We’ve all been critical of the committee in the last few years and while they have given amazing service to the club over the years it was time for a change.
Its almost certainly we are going to get relegated but it is not a life sentence. There’s no reason why the club can’t be successful again.

I was curious as to how much further Brechin would have to travel next season if they are relegated to the Highland League, compared to what we know so far about next season if Brechin were to remain in League 2 (i.e. - with Forfar replacing Queen's Park).
I found that a Brechin team bus, going town to town, would travel approximately:
3,184 miles (HL, minus Brora)
3, 522 miles (HL, including Brora)
3, 632 miles (League 2)
So Brechin would likely be travelling fewer miles in the HL next season than they would in L2.
As interesting as that is, it is totally irrelevant. Further up this thread the point has been made that teams in the Highland League aren’t made up of local lads. When Huntly line up for a game it is never going to be eleven lads from Huntly on the pitch.
Guess how many Brechin players live in Brechin? I’ll give you a ballpark figure. It’s less than one.
The only player we have had recently who could be described as local is Euan Spark and he plays for Elgin now. Work that one out.
I’m not one of these guys who says there is no way we can get players to come to Brechin. Far from it, the other Highland League teams prove that point. Boys that play for these teams travel from all over the North so why couldn’t we have a team of players from Tayside/Aberdeen that would be competitive?

As Shaker says the Highland League is a blast.....,from no understanding a word anyone says in Huntly or Wick,to being chased by casuals in Banff,to standing in awe at Buckie at the size of the home support !!!
As much as I don't want us to go down there is a part of me that thinks that sounds tremendous

I have it on good authority that there is genuine anger among some of the Brechin board and resignations are very likely.
I’m angry and I would quite like some of them to resign. One in particular.

It would be embarrassing if we put up a legal challenge. I’ve said it before but I’d rather we just got relegated than go through all that.
However questionable it is to be declaring champions after less than half a season there can’t be any doubt from our side where we deserve to be. And it’s the decisions of the people running the club that have got us there.

He’s a local businessman who joined the board last summer.

Gotta agree with you here it’s not just this season or last season that’s caused us to be club 42 it’s 5 years of poor decision making at the top that have led us to this.Does anyone known what will happen to the incorporation if we get relegated ?
It won't happen

The people in charge aren’t the ones putting in the gutless performances on the pitch though.
They've employed all the managers over the last few seasons

Shambles of a football club. I sometimes wonder if the people in charge actually want to be in the Highland League.

No I went to the meetings and listened to the proposals .
None of us know the details of the manager's contract but I am pretty confident it is not just simply a 3 year contract being handed to a novice .
I’m sure they said that the structural changes to the ownership of the club wouldn’t happen if we got relegated?

stopped watching todays game, we deserve everything we get. Highland League.
I would be well pissed off if playoffs get binned if I were a supporter of HL / LL champs.
Do wonder if decision has already been made if Ken has stepped down.
Either way we have been poor and have had zero luck - our best midfielder is out for the season, Gerry injured in warm up etc.
Ken Ferguson should really be resigning from the Brechin City board. As Citytillidie said there has been horrendous decision making over the last few years.
The same mistakes made over and over again.
