I'm talking about this season, last season they spent money they didn't have and as a consequence they have now essentially folded after 2 games of this season, when it would appear from reading this very forum that people have been mentioning they were in the doo doo for weeks - they have made a mockery of the LL and have taken away from Threave the opportunity to play in the LL. Selkirk are done so they essentially fill the relegation spot for this season, the LL should come out now and say that Team 15 come the end of the season will be relegated and 2 clubs promoted (1 from EoS and 1 from South) - other clubs shouldn't survive in the LL just because of a lack of financial acumen elsewhere - demoting Selkirk over the next couple of weeks for whatever reason and not relegating anyone else will kill the league for around 13 teams who by mid August will have absolutely nothing to play for. All IMO obviously. You crack on with your ridiculous outlook -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs who have had to put up with a lot of nitpicking bureaucracy to get licenced must be wondering how Selkirk's books slipped through the net. And any opinions on the club's that have milked the licence requirements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitburn Vale Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 A lot to talk about what should and shouldnt happen to Selkirk FC. Selkirk loyal is the man with his feet on the ground down there and i'm sure will let us all know what happens next. I tend to agree with him,it do's not look good,feel the slfl have to act fast if this continues much longer,any disruption must be kept to a minimum. Its a shame,cracking wee set up doon there and always a good day away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I'm sure I read earlier somewhere that they were hoping for two weeks with no games to allow time to sign players, but can't seem to find that now. This might not be good news for them and looks like a case of trying to resolve it one way or the other ASAP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkirk Loyal Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 36 minutes ago, amigan said: Where are the Selkirk players coming from this season? Are they local boys from the amateurs? No. Assuming the manager who started the season (from Stirling?) must've brought players in when he took over after last season's bunch had moved on. As previously mentioned, the local amateur players are nowhere near the standard for lowland league football and there lies part of the problem. Entry to the Lowland League has resulted in the club moving away from using local players to focus their efforts on signing players way outside their budget to try and compete. The new chairman has been convinced to stay on to try and fix the mess so let's see what happens over the coming days. No idea where the players are coming from for the game against CSS. Gordon Rae still interim manager. The Border Amateur League starts a week today and there is a 14 day rule in place which ultimately stops any player from being able to help out from time to time. Expecting some sort of statement from Selkirk FC over the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but it was made abundantly clear before last seasons play offs that they were happy to remain in the South League for the next few seasons at least.
