.Stuart. Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Exactly and not even talking about my own team here as I know loads of clubs go through this every season but it's just another example of our grade being fucked. No self respecting grade can ever have this situation . ï¸Major change needed . Time to abolish this holiday weekend nonsense. Happens every season. Clubs choose not to play on a good Autumn Saturday then moan about having to play extra games at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrellburn Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I remember Cambuslang playing 2 games in the one day back in the late '60's. I would be interested to have details of this as I have heard several times of such an occurance. Not saying it didn't happen, just that details are always very sketchy and I have even heard it said of my own club, Kilsyth Rangers. Having access to over seventy years of records I am pretty confident it did not happen. Closest it came to it was in 1957 when we lost to Baillieston in the S/F of the West of Scotland cup on the thursday evening of the last week of the season with another final already arranged for the saturday.(which we won) I do believe that St Roch did actually play two games in one day in the late 40's or early 50's, can anyone confirm this?

fan of the juniors Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Pollok have had 6 games postponed 5 away 1 at home beith have also had 6 postponed 2 at home 4 away scrap the stupid league cup at beginning of season or start 2 weeks earlier so you can have midweek league games start of season Totally agree. In the East they have played nearly a 3rd of the season by the time the dark nights come in & as you know they play 30 games . League cup is only played as your smaller teams can get a Wee payday against the bigger teams each season. Teams like Lugar Kello & Muirkirk are never gonna vote not to play Talbot at least once every season . Same in the North with yer Wee teams like Largs playing ourselves ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 No point moaning here, get your club to propose the changes, canvass support to carry the vote. And good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classof2010 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 How hard is it at beginning of season while pitches are good to keep teams playing roughly same amount of games and why are some teams having only 1 free Saturday when others are having at least 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This did happen with Cambuslang. I'm pretty sure one of the teams was lesmahagow. Long time ago obviously , but I'll try & get more detail for you if I can.
