ScottishLoon Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 You really drew the short straw in the cup draw, missed out on the Angus bonanza and then have to go to new Douglas park twice , might mean you focus on the start of the league even more tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely all 14 teams would be trying to finish as high as possible in the league to gain more prize money ? More saddening though is you thinking the conference has any place in Scottish football at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ten team league with 4 b teams versus a league which only has 4 teams - that is what you were actually talking about. Neither floats my boat. On a more serious note there is clearly little SPFL appetite to increase from 42 teams but that doesn’t seem to deter endless theorists giving us their dream 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither floats my boat. On a more serious note there is clearly little SPFL appetite to increase from 42 teams but that doesn’t seem to deter endless theorists giving us their dream From what I can make out, the SPFL is based on preserving 4 matches against Celtic and Rangers in the premier league as Doncaster's only selling point for whatever paltry sponsorhip deal he can muster. The other 3 leagues and the flawed pyramid don't really come into Doncaster's equations . The SFA seem to realise that change might be good but even they are fixated on making sure that Celtic and Rangers are kept sweet first and foremost. Doncaster has maintained that the 42 team league will remain and is obviously banging that drum at league meetings. After all, he managed to convince his fellow spfl board members to spread the armageddon warning when trying to fit the new Rangers at the highest level in the league system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see why some top clubs might have fleetingly considered what was being offered in the conference with prize money like that for winning the Highland League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnseytheclaret Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Sorry for butting in. Thinking of going to the opening game on 29 July with my two kids. What's the ticket prices for the coming season? Is there much to do in town or surrounding area ? We're going to be based in Forfar... Thanks in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brechin charge the standard Highland League tenner and an extortionate £7 for all concessions, including kids. Local u16s can apply for a free season ticket. There are places to eat and drink in nearby Montrose. P.S. Only kidding, it's a nice wee place. Hopefully some hedge lovers will be on soon to give you some local knowledge.
