However, as another one is confirmed away, I just like to confirm what a thorougly depressing time this is to be an Edinburgh city supporter! It's shit, no doubt, but if you stand together as true fans(who the now owners appear also to be) and find a way through then you will be able to look back and be proud of yourselves. continued best wishes. Has there been any fan meeting where details of how far in the shit you are have been stated? Quicker that happens the better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Edinburgh survive this as a club and get back on their feet. Good player . played with Alloa a while back he might have been an option for us (I saw him talking to Andy Graham at meadowbank ) but we have a full compliment of players i am led to believe .

AllyMonc Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Statement from the club being issued today I believe. Won't be anything in the way of 'good' news but hopefully gives everyone involved some clarity and allows us to focus on what needs to be done to get to the end of the season without being liquidated. Getting to the end of the season the only aim now really 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Absolutely honking what's happening at EC , hope you guys get to the other side , players jumping ship left right n centre so going to be even more difficult to survive this league this season , regroup stay strong and get ready for a title push next season in league 2 is probably most hopeful scenario at this time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think we can criticise the players at all. If they're not being paid and there's no guarantee they'll be made good at any point soon then they are well within their rights to walk away. Some of these guys will be relying on their wage to meet mortgage obligations etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I have heard the odd "these players got the team to the bottom of the League anyway" sentiment but the win over Alloa maybe showed McIndoe could get a result out of them. But it's not to be. At least we won't be playing old pals Whitehill Welfare in the league for a couple of seasons at least. There's always a ray of sunshine.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave the current club permission to become Edinburgh City but there’s no further connection than that.

I hope there are better days ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting to the end of the season the only aim now really That’s good news, I was away to ask if the club had actually said anything. Seems weird that other clubs are announcing guys signing for them before City have even said anything. From the outside looking in, it very much appears that City continuing to exist will be a good outcome, and continuing to exist within the SPFL for the foreseeable will be a minor miracle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Saw a few players from the ladies side leaving on Twitter the other night, and now I see that City have pulled out of the U20s league. That's really concerning stuff when I doubt those sides cost too much to run, albeit I know a lot of the 20s will now be first team players. I hope the situation gets sorted and City have a sustainable and secure future. At whatever level that's possible. It's horrible to look in from the outside at a club crumbling like this, so I can't imagine what it's like to be a fan at a time like this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The social club is all that’s left of the original Edinburgh City FC, which stopped playing football in the 1950s. The current football club was originally Postal United, but changed their name to Edinburgh City (in the 1990s?). Apart from the name, there’s no connection to either the social club or the original football club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Sad to see what’s happening to the club and team. Must be difficult for any fan watching this ? What’s happened to the finances since Tom Tracy handed over to the ownership group led by John Dickson ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMonc Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Statement out now and I think the tone is appropriate all things considered. I feel for all the players involved, they are totally innocent parties in this and have paid a heavy price, good luck to all of them in finding new clubs. The owner ran the price increase by me last week and while it's very disappointing to have to increase walk up prices I do think it was the only option (other than folding). The 3 match package (at a discounted rate) was a supporters club suggestion so good that it's been implemented. If there are any questions here I can take them to the board and try to update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
