Agreed although there will be as expected and East region and a West region with two conferences in the East and two conferences in the West. As expected there is to be 3 cups but still to be agreed so I suspect they will vote for one cup to be all-in and also an East cup and a West Cup and possible two other cups, one dedicated to the east and one to the west. I don't think a development club can charge anymore than £2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending when the season starts, think 18 games plus one cup should be workable. Glad some of the strong youth clubs are deciding to link up without losing their identity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't own the pitch then your talking over £100 - £140 as you have to book pitch for 3 hours, warm up etc... The referees are expected to be near £60 but referee fees have beene returned to club at the end of the season If all teams joined who applied then your talking 14 home games and 14 away games and most definitely an all in cup will be played 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Thought it would be expensive,just going by prices down here in Bristol. Guessing most Fridays will be on council or school 3g unless (junior) senior grounds were available. Seen plenty of 3g pitches on my travels in Scotland, unsure if they meet criteria however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Wouldn't Beith be an example of the 'caged ground' with spectators standing outside ? Hopefully all the clubs get booked up with a regular ground, before it causes problems with cancellations etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy XBoswell Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 16 hours ago, Spyro said: Most (if not all) current Lowland League Under 20’s don’t charge an admission fee to watch. Usually there a bucket on the way in for donations. It’s going to be a brilliant setup once it’s all underway! I just got a message from one of the committee at Bonnyton Thistle & he says that although most were free others charged £3 & £5.00 last season??? What do the rules state? I'm sure someone on here will know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both either side of the High School and certainly Cowan Park has a barrier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Could anyone use Petershill on a Friday ? Wasn't there a 3g next to Scotstoun rugby ? Bit far fetched, but why don't the spfl help these clubs, can't be using their 3g/grass training pitches all the time ? Have tried to see if all the Sports Centres would fit the criteria, sure you have better knowledge than myself ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
