Ourselves, Rossvale and a few other Junior clubs have played home matches at Petershill Park and charged admission no problem, Glasgow City charge for all their home league matches and champions league ties at Petershill Park. The home club rents the ground from the council, and they can then charge admission to their match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Glasgow's facility is also owned by Inverclyde Council. Dunno if some councils require a certain type of booking if they're charging entry but can definitely be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the mistake of putting electric ones in, which have since chucked it, and with the estimated repair bill running into thousands Glasgow Life have no inclination to fix them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought it was strange they were never used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Seems like fairly typical Glasgow City Council wastage. Always thought it was strange they were never used. We did use them when we first moved in, they chucked it after 4 or 5 years. One of our guys then disabled them so the just freewheeled, but a year or so back Glasgow Life got them working again. First home game we had they worked for about 10 minutes and have never worked since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speedway folks kept the gate money and paid the referee. That would need someone from Ashfield to verify. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, they can run it as a business as the park is loaned to them so obviously charge including the football team. I was more thinking of public parks, council owned parks, the type with cages etc... is that you cannot charge people to enter into the game as the parks are just that, public parks. Maybe there is a way that can be reached with the councils so that they could charge but I don't know of any Sorry for the confusion n just want to say, brilliant that all 68 teams that applied to the Lowland u20s development league have been accepted and looking forward to a Friday night wondering which game to go and watch as I'm sure there is going to be some crackers Edited July 1, 2020 by Bestsinceslicebread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Great news over the 30/38 split, just wondering if next season will ever happen...nothing until October then, maybe divisions of 10 East and 12/12/14 in the West just to get the games in somehow. With the ground situation, would the lge think of Thursday and Friday games ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the ground situation, would the lge think of Thursday and Friday games ? The lowland league will work it out. They were hoping to have two conferences leagues in each region. They said its a possibility that if its a late football start then they will change to 3 divisions, (definitely in the West, - maybe the East) and or lose one of the cups suppose what's defined as a late start. I did expect problems but suppose officially there are no ground situations. All clubs have been accepted and therefor I expect they all have an adequate park from the Lowland leagues view its going to be Friday games only as the development teams are run by the first team so the league could not just hit them with other days for the sake of it when the development lads are also for the first team when needed. I'm sure after the first season for the West teams and the development league getting to know all the ins and outs of the West, things will be tidied up if a park is verging on unsuitability I would suspect games midweek as well at the start of the league as the nights haven't drawn in yet so first team park is useable, depending on availability then obviously when the dark nights draw in then the other facility they intend to use that has floodlights will be used. All in all an exciting time, Friday night constant games and Saturday constant games when we all eventually start, so looking forward to it Edited July 1, 2020 by Bestsinceslicebread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTID Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Have to keep in mind some teams will be older and some much younger as well. Huge leap between potentially 16/17 and the 18/19s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hopefully we won't get many occasions when teams cry off due to lack of players, should have known the number of players they had / were likely to sign on, before they applied to join the 20's. Positive stuff for the youngsters, wish I could turn back the clock just go and enjoy yourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Seems odd that they would organise the conferences purely on alphabetical order - will believe it when it's confirmed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
