  1. So basically creating a Division 5 (League 3) instead of working on the current 4 tier setup? No, absolutely no point Next....
  2. Looking for any excuse they can find. Kelty AND Brora deserve their chance, not for this season but they’ve consistently proved in the last TWO part-seasons that they are worthy of a shot at the playoff. The number of games played this season is irrelevant
  3. Alness United in the Scottish Cup 2023/24 Sorry just wanted to see that in writing...
  4. Yeah it’s a strange place indeed, I love it! I think the majority of local boys who want to play semi-serious amateur league football play for Tomatin in the Inverness summer league. The rest play shinty for one of the big 2 further south
  5. Nobody lives in Aviemore for 9 month the of the year, they barely have an amateur team. As Cyclizine said too, Strathspey Thistle and Cromdale/Spey Valley United more than cater for that area already
  6. I’ll provide the map if you’re offering Burnie... we’re going to need something strong to cope with the nonsense that’s been posted on here
  7. Kennoway’s pitch is mental, would fancy myself with a half volley from my just inside own half going down that hill
  8. Greenlaw’s ground wouldn’t need much to pass, but I doubt they will be looking at anything other than winning the Border Amateur. There’s a public walk that goes round the far parameter but the park is quite enclosed already and only one way in/out
  9. It was discussed somewhere on here a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know if anything has changed but Chairman wants out and no one willing to come forward to take over the club. A town the size of Bathgate, Scottish cup winners not that long ago but no one seems to care... I’m not speculating as to why as it has got me in trouble from the man before
  10. Bet he can’t believe his luck... the recent news coming from Bathgate doesn’t sound much better tbh
  11. The Facebook page is unreal. A lot of arse-covering and smokescreens being posted by some committee member... I can smell the shite from here, and I would suggest that the new chairman’s wife needs to stay off social media for now if she can’t control her temper
  12. Not suspending the individual while the investigation takes place is a little strange. Surely it’s usual practice for a company to suspend on full pay (if applicable) until the investigation is carried out, no matter what the accusations are
  13. It wasn’t that long ago... or was this another time he’s kicked off here?
  14. At least they are still young... some of us haven’t got much playing time left in us. The body will take forever to get back up to speed too! I just hope there isn’t too many that decide to knock it on the head and stop playing altogether... I’m already noticing at amateur level a lot of players calling it a day
  15. Having watched the improvement in only 6 months of your own team’s U20’s, it’s already making a huge difference and can only help the 1st team Giving players who are sometimes “lost” between youth and senior football and giving them a stable league against boys at the same age/level to learn the game from while allowing clubs to hang onto boys who might have been released in the past and giving them another chance to shine. As a team, you could see the improvement in their match-play and 1 or 2 players coming out their shell and surprising a few folk at the talent they had been hiding
  16. Yes, folk will be amazed at how many potential punters won’t even twig until they say their actual town name written in the lower league results, then realise they have a team on their doorstep... Maybe Whitehill Welfare need to go back to Rosewell Rosedale to tap into the incomers to the village who have no idea where “Whitehill” is
  17. Maybe not the “armchair” fans, but the completely OBLIVIOUS (edit!) possibly new-comers to the town. You will be amazing at how many people who have an interest in football don’t know they have one on their doorstep and would quite happily pay £6 now and again to see what it’s all about. It’s then up to the club to stabilise and keep them coming
  18. Don’t know why no one has had a proper go at getting Little Kerse up to standard. Might need another changing room built nearer the pitch but everything else is there
  19. I think it’s just an access path that goes through Coldstream’s park, the Peebles situation or even whatever Thornton Hibs and Inverkeithing have had to negotiate is probably more like your situation of upgrading a public park to get round the criteria. I think Craigroyston have the same situation at St Mark’s with dog walkers being allowed to use the land. EDIT - Coldstream are the ones with a license though
  20. If Perth can manage 4 teams, I’m sure Bo’ness/Linlithgow could handle 2. Is the Linlithgow Thistle name completely dead or could it be dusted off if things don’t go well with real BU’s
