rigano Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 He not in charge at formatine Utd now? He went back to Huntly then left them for team above.. By all accounts the booze was out in force. Shame like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleface Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 great result and no surprise I thought lthv would have won by more as huntly are truly rotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleface Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 With LTHV looking good to go through, will this cup run provide enough funds to sort their ground problems out? Shame that they seem stuck in EOS? What kind of crowds do normal games attract for you? And do you spend much on wages as opposed to upgrading the ground etc for licensing requirements? dreadful crowds I here average of about 20 last season and as for wages why else would players who are too good for EOS STAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surely not! Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 For who what?! Who is it embarrassing for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tynie1874 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 dreadful crowds I here average of about 20 last season and as for wages why else would players who are too good for EOS STAY It's a stepping stone for hutchie so that when they get to under 19s there is that extra 'level' if u like to test themselves. Although like most of you say and players say it is dying. For an "amateur" team to get this far is surely a great achievement is there an automatic entry spot if they get any further rather than having to win the league again?

rigano Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 No, they'll have to win the EOS league again or I guess get in the Lowland league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 There is no 'wildcard' entry if you get a certain way through the competition... in any case qualifiers have made the Last 32 before e.g. Linlithgow Rose (before gaining SFA membership), Irvine Meadow and Auchinleck Talbot. I don't think any qualifier has made the Last 16 so that would be a new level of success, tbf. As things stand they will have to retain the EOS League or get their SFA membership and club licence (which would open up entry to LL of course), to reappear in 2016-17. It's an 'occupational hazard' of not meeting the criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigano Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The club definitely wants to join the lowland league but that is not going to be easy. Even this run won't go anywhere near the income levels needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Given there are six licensed nonleague clubs in and around Edinburgh maybe a groundshare is the key to progress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tynie1874 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The reason I asked as Selkirk gained entry into certain stage due to reaching last 32 at under 20s. It makes u wonder how a club that has produced a Scotland squad en-mass isn't already in the lower leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatasaw Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The club definitely wants to join the lowland league but that is not going to be easy. Even this run won't go anywhere near the income levels needed. agreed but its a catch 22 , spend all the money on players = no Facilities = win league - last 2 years don't spend = maybe facilities = not win league perhaps short sighted but that's upto lothian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigano Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I think the money they spend on wages wouldn't come anywhere near covering ground improvement costs. The club pretty much runs at cost and with a poor support its not easy to change that but I guess they think they are as well just spending the cash they do have on giving the players as much as possible..which won't be much. I agree they need to do something off the park though. It's up to them to capitalise on these good times on the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo87 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 How much money do they need to give though if majority are players coming through from their youth teams? Do they ever make any money off their players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleface Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 If they are under 21 ( I think might be 25 ) Lothian claim compensation from the club they are going to like any other club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo87 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 They lost 5 players to a lowland league club last year I remember reading (sorry can't remember which one), would they have got any compo for them? Sorry for all daft questions - just curious to find out about their setup (and any other non league sides with a good track record of bringing through players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
