Le Tout P'ti FC Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Sound the “Borders derby” claxon. Grounds I can get to from West Linton more quickly than I can get to Hawick: Cumnock Jeanfield Swifts / Luncarty Queen of the South Port Glasgow East Fife (It’s not a derby. Stop this madness, please.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Surprised not to see this mentioned after coming across Twitter. Is this Edinburgh City or FC Edinburgh getting their EoS reserve side in through the backdoor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero chance of any substantial facilities going in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero chance of any substantial facilities going in there. I'm not really bothered about that. It's more the saga around "Edinburgh City". Since Craigroyston were rumoured to be switching to it late last season and FC Edinburgh's new board talked about the intention to return to Edinburgh City. Is this all one and the same or competing interests? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 A club or team labelled Edinburgh City Whites joined the Lothian and Edinburgh Amateur League in Division Two at the start of 2022/23 season. They are still there next season. Their edited details as at the start of 2022/23, from the league handbook: EDINBURGH CITY WHITES Secretary: David Burton Address: Alternative: Wendy Anderson Ground: Forrester HS 3G Colours: White/Black They may be a separate club from FC Edinburgh? Anyone know more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know more? Wendy Anderson was involved with the Edinburgh City Youth teams set up There was a split last year (the then FC Edinburgh board didn't consult the youth teams regarding the name chance it seems and there was other background stuff). There is a history of youth teams taking over/being involved with East of Scotland team- Tollcross United became Tynecastle, Leith Athletic merged with Edinburgh Athletic and Hutchi Vale got involved with Lothian Thistle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the LEAFA team are those players who have progressed through the age rankings Meantime there was an Edinburgh City Sunday Amateurs team run in part by the Social Club. They have departed and the Social Club are to start a new Sunday Amateurs team This is almost like Scottish Church history you know. The Free Football Club of Edinburgh City will play the Unified Football Club of Edinburgh City in an ecumenical derby .. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been similar issues with Broomhill/BSC, Rossvale/Caledonian Locos, Caledonian Braves/Edusport and even Syngenta where the "senior" club has broken away from its boys club roots, Edited June 29, 2023 by Footballfirst 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
