pleslie99 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 When the cost of a park plus ref comes to over £150, then another £50/60 for training venues, that's over £200 a week for teams to play, u need regular 20 bodies paying their £10 a week just to break even. Cost is ridiculous and it's no surprise teams are folding all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Feet Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Did the remaining Ashvale players join up with Weirs Rec? It's sad to see them go. Another very well run club who have great sponsorship etc. They had a big squad full of young players a season or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Aikenhead tried to get going again and after acceptance were let down by players not rejoining. Not enough interest from the old group of players to get it up again and with a year out the game there was no injection of youth or new players. Aikenhead had a good run for the 12/13 years or so it was going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Kennedy Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Sad to see teams folding, especially Drum Utd a team close to my heart had a great 5 years playing under John black. Lovely guy with a big heart who was great to play under had some of the best years of my life playing at the Drum. Also sad to see Pollock and Aikenhead fold had many tussles over years during my playing days, two great clubs. I still believe the Central is the best amateur league in Scotland and will continue to attract clubs. On another note I see the league select are looking for a new manager, with John being out the game at the minute surely he would be the ideal candidate if he was interested.

Wilsy Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Aside from Colville Park in the big one today what's the game of the day? I'm torn between Drumchapel Campsie Harestains Haldane. Bannockburn EK probably be a good game but a bit far 2 travel. The boots are hung up lol so it's a spectator sport for me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilsy Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I took in Drumchapel and campsie today. Quite a poor game with both teams looking under strength. Both need to up their game in coming weeks I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilsy Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I was a spectator at Clydebank st Patrick's today, a no score draw in normal time which st Patrick's won on penalties I heard. A drab affair so left after 50 minutes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
