drs Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Great, if unexpected, news. Little Kerse would need a fair bit of work for licencing IMO but it does offer both plastic and grass option for development. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Sse Scottish women’s cup Stirling Uni v FC Kilmarnock highlights it looks like a 3G at Little Kerse is already railed off similar to Kelty. Ironic that after using Little Kerse for so long that syngenta become the first team to play out it in the senior league. (Possibly) The main pitch is in a cage similar to the likes of Gartcairn, main issue for me when I was there is that the changing rooms are the other side of the car park from the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day they will need to meet EoS criteria before acceptance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I wonder if AM Soccer would think about applying to the EoS. They were linked with applying to the Lowland League a while back and they're on the list above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Found this article from back in May while looking into the name http://www.youthfootballscotland.co.uk/central-region/item/20335-club-spotlight-the-futures-bright-the-futures-orange-at-syngenta-juveniles.html Apparently they secured a 25 year lease on Little Kerse at the end of 2017. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Not sure if it was this pitch exactly, but Little Kerse was supposed to be where the Shire would have their own ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimmo's Notes Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Aye, that's where the Shire would have had a stadium. The only thing I'd have against it is that it's a bit out of the way for public transport and pedestrian access. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was supposed to include a new stand seating up to 1,000, as well as good quality facilities within it. As far as I can recall it had outline planning approval, but wasn't progressed. Presumably down to lack of funding. Last time I visited Falkirk, Firs Park remained as a desolate wasteland. Is this still the case ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The move to the 6th tier of Scottish Football will include a Senior team and U20s Development side. This completes the player pathway for the club from Fun Fours right through to Senior first team football. Preparations are already well underway and this is fabulous news for our upcoming teams who will now have the opportunity to stay and play Senior football at the club. The Club will also work towards their SFA club licence in order to become a full SFA member. One of the benefits being participation in the “Big Scottish Cup”. Exciting times ahead and more news will follow as the preparations continue. Interesting statement. Why would they say 6th tier though? At the very best it is going to be tier 8, possibly even 9. I assume they've spoken with the EofS League so it is quite a strange thing to say unless they have had discussions regarding it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowenan Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Tier 7 is probably the most likely. LL is tier 5, eosfl premier will be tier 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
