elton Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Heard that punters are looking to back them for their league. Have also been told they've signed a load of players. Anybody got any info? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE63 exile Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Take a look on the LEFA thread on the Amateur forum. You’ll get your answers on there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Town Crier Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 we played them in scottish at the weekend ...need to recruit to have any chance of progression, I was told they are the under 19s stepping up to form a junior team with some former players returning .. biggest problem again is playing away from where u where formed...to many clubs having to go down this route... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Maybe they could buy a better club name. They sound like a microbiotic yoghurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 The patter in the amateur forum makes the Juniors one look like the Times letters page. To spare people... Pennies AFC and Craigshill Thistle AFC were rebranded as CP United for this season (Pennies squad/ Craigshill league position) and have now resigned from the Lothian & Edinburgh AFA and will effectively merge into Syngenta. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-german exile Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Craigpenniehill Thistle would have been the obvious choice for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Syngenta had 12 stripped players when I saw them a month ago (and managed to lose quite convincingly to 9 men) and one of those was an emergency loan. Did fear for them seeing out the season so this looks like good news BUT like most people in Falkirk I've heard the Pennies stories over the years so the jury is most definitely out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still have plans to play elsewhere? I know their EOSFL application has been knocked back due to the ground not being up to scratch, which is why they applied to the ERJFA as a groundshare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBAFC Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 At least the guys that run Pennies can pay players at Syngenta where it’s actually acceptable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the kind of name that probably sounded great in the boardroom - the problem with going down that route is that they could literally be in any kind of business and we'd be none the wiser...Syngenta could just as easy be either a truck manufacturer or a feminine hygiene product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the name means more locally as it's original intention was juvenile teams. Back in my young day little kerse was bp playing fields. They were all bp juvenile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
