victor meldrew Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wide open league by looks of it, would imagine there's a few teams not wanting Bathgate relegated tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think it would be fair to say Bathgate don’t want relegated, and the clubs in the South don’t want them relegated, we’ll see. I agree that out of the 12 certainties, you cannot see anyone who is a stick-on to be promoted. Whitburn will be strong when they move back to Central Park and they’d probably be favourites, Rosyth will be up there, Blackburn should be as well depending on how the pitch replacement work affects them, Tranent appear to have money behind them and have made a few good signings so should be challengers and shorter odds than most as a result, if Sam Young stays at Dunbar they can’t be discounted, Lochgelly and West Calder both had decent seasons but drew too many games, reverse that and they will be up there. That’s seven clubs who at the moment you can’t rule out as promotion candidates, and I’m sure the rest will be strengthening to put in more of a challenge. Easthouses look a fairly strong outfit from what I saw of them a couple of weeks ago they look top half of the table material, I’m sure they will be in the mix as well.

Duns Fan Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Easthouses will be up there if they get accepted. EOS loss to South east juniors gain. Physical but hard working team. Certainly will do well and wish them luck should they get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victor meldrew Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Rosyth have added real quality to their squad already with the signing of ex Haws striker Craig Smart, quality player. Still personally think Rosyth may struggle to better the season theyve just had, time will tell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriot1 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Any word on Crossgates yet? They were in the local paper a few months ago saying that they would be giving up at the end of the season if they couldn't attract a committee as it was the management team that was keeping them going off the pitch as well as on it.

the tin man Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Tranent are certainly strengthening Ben miller from berwick. Chris gray from haddington. Darren Smith from mussy. Sinclair ingils has resigned and that's just the some I know off. All change on the committee front as well so hopefully the club can push on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
