Vimto90 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Don't think people quite grasp the severity of this situation for smaller clubs. To even care that much about colts in this climate is bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimto90 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 The lad McMenemy suggesting that Stenny become a proxy reserve team for some middling Premiership club is quite something. Where has he suggested this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where has he suggested this? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52941423 Alternatively, they could forge strategic partnerships with lower-league outfits that would allow up to six players, plus one coach to be loaned by the Premiership club There is also thought to be broad support for the strategic partnerships - an idea initially suggested by Stenhousemuir chairman Iain McMenemy. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimto90 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 The coach thing is daft for me and I wouldn't fancy having 6 loanees either but it does say up to 6. I think there is a place for "strategic partnerships" thou or affiliations whatever you wanna call it. The ICT fort william thing is too much but am all for links with specific clubs. Not too dissimilar to what happens already but it would be official. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluearmyfaction Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Tell them they can come in, but as soon as there's any sectarian chanting, either at their matches or in the Premier League, they're out. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too dissimilar to what happens already but it would be official. Here's an idea. If teams are really, really passionate about developing players, give them a chance. Failing that, loan them out. There is absolutely no need for leagues and clubs to piss their identity away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland ITFC Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Brora have perhaps not surprisingly thrown in their support to Rangers on this - https://brorarangers.football/2020/06/06/spfl-reconstruction-proposal-views-of-the-chairman/?fbclid=IwAR3QRv8pqzZqckmESvDy39ZlegOFBfbnLwU00pytkdpn_uTTCjd8RyjWQ3Q 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Rangers and Celtic want their Colts to get in the Seaside leagues. Let's at least compromise on this. Rangers and Celtic Colts can get in the sea. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers and Celtic Colts can get in the sea. They want to try and skip them as much as possible. One single season and they're in the Championship. Look at how they signed up the likes of Lewis Morgan, David Bates, and players like that to play in the Colt team. They'll just keep doing that whenever they want to take a punt on someone. Then there's also no need to loan the the players they bring through anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I'd urge folk to start writing to their clubs now. Don't wait. Let your board know your thoughts. This can't be allowed to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vimto90 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 This whole saga has shown how un- important getting frantic about things like guff colt teams getting in the league is. As I have stated not my fave idea but as long as I have a club to go to on a Saturday and I can get a pint in the wee bar I just won't let things like colt teams bother me as much as the zoomers on here wanting to write to chairmen etc -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Why is writing to your club expressing an opinion on something you don't agree with the behaviour of a "zoomer"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
