Pardon? What in heavens name are you on about?? Haven’t you drifted just a little bit off topic - so very much more than you accused others of - or has all the soap that seems desperately required for your quite astonishingly filthy mouth affected your cognisant abilities? Sit still in your pram until I gather together all your toys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanley Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Disappointing that some people aren't able to debate the topic without descending into insults. Not a lot of credibility left for someone in a discussion after making those types of comments. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che Dail Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Newtongrange v Kennoway in the SL yesterday. Great result for the star, but it looks like there are more people in the dugouts than in the rest of the ground. Probably more at Kelty v Tweedmouth to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Thornton v Blackburn in the Premier yesterday there were less than 50 at the game inc committees, half of that was from Blackburn.Regardless of your opinion of the Pyramid, the Junior game is struggling to attract people to games at all levels. Some clubs are bucking the trend but most are heading the other way. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd sizes aren't really something it's wise to use as a yardstick when debating the pros and cons of the pyramid though - it's the big elephant in the room with the LL and has been since its inception. There are of course exceptions to the rule, but crowds remain comfortably sub-three figures at most current fifth tier games, for several reasons; clubs representing educational establishments rather than communities (the Uni sides), clubs whose large affiliated memberships haven't translated into people actually going along to watch them (the ex-kids club sides), clubs in areas where football is second fiddle to rugby (the Borders clubs, who also have the local conundrum of having to bring in players from outside to be remotely competitive, but losing local interest through not using local players - it seems to be a problem peculiar to the area) or one club whose business model means that it's utterly immaterial whether anyone watches them who as a result make no effort whatsoever to attract support (Edusport) Looking at yesterday's LL fixtures, I'd be surprised if any of Vale of Leithen v BSC, Colts v CSS or Edinburgh Uni v Edusport attracted 50 PAYING supporters. Out of the others, probably only EK v Spartans attracted much over 100. And that's at a level ostensibly THREE divisions up from the game you watched yesterday.

I wasn't using it as a yardstick as I said, I'm merely pointing out that the Junior game is not getting people through the gates in any numbers, they're continuing to drop. Not everywhere, some clubs are holding steady or increasing slightly, but overall the amount of paying fans has to be a major concern. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main concern is being part of an organisation that I don't have a lot of time for. The hierarchy and the people running the clubs, making decisions are unpleasant on an entirely different scale to the juniors. Strong rumours seem to have emerged that youth teams will be introduced at some level next season. Not to put too fine a point on it, these people are Cùnts and I wouldn't give them the steam off my pish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of Blazers at any level, they all have a measure of self interest.However having first hand experience of those running the game at Junior level, I'm happy to take the chance. The Lowland League and EoSFL appear to be run with a greater level of professionalism. I do think that if the non-league game was unified we could work together to make the whole thing more attractive to fans. We can't do any worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is about his 15/20th ID, the mods are aware although he seems to be able to circumvent the ban. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
