Hossy87 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Back to the SoS and WoS conundrum. South and West T6 licensed clubs in a newly revamped West Premier along with X number to make up 16/18 teams and then the rest slot in to Div 1/Championship with 3 up 3 down, but then relegating everyone else or could you revamp the West to retain the current number of leagues but restructure to ensure no one gets relegated (premier aside). I doubt anyone votes will being relegated but regardless of your view, the SoS has 5 licensed clubs (Newton, Creetown, Wigtown, Saints & Dalbeattie) and possibly Gretna next season too. Some of these clubs have been SFA members and played by the rules long long before any LL was in effect and were at one time T5. Maybe the West Prem could slot in at T7? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tacky shit your talking about was built by four supporters not the club. For years they battled to get the tacky shit built and only succeeded when they finally took out a £10k loan to finish it. Three of them still collect the 50p's for the stands upkeep. They shelled out £3000 for Bristol Rovers seats and £1500 for the bird netting, Talbot don't get one penny from the proceedings. Apart from that they built the two other enclosures and the catering facility as well as being the driving force for the floodlights. I'm one of those four guys and it upsets me when one little gobshite has a go at the work I have been involved in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That result yesterday really tipped you over the edge eh? Go back and read the post it was a sarcastic response to a talbot fan making fun of another clubs ground improvements thus the quotation. Save me the sycophantic ‘lesson’. You even made a jokey post about ‘english buttocks’ in response to Shanners reply. Just absolutely choking to pick a fight after your team got beat. Its quite embarrassing really. Edited August 20, 2023 by Inanimate Carbon Rod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quite embarrassing really. However you dress it up your a pure and utter fud. Do you honestly think a defeat by Clydebank tipped me over the edge? I tried to let it pass over but the more it bothered me. I thought it would be good to let folk know what real supporters are capable of doing. Your hatred of Talbot clouds your judgement a lot, as I said do a bit of research before you ridicule the work some people have done to better there football club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigecumnock Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Just a thought but is there any particular reason for Cumnock, Talbot and Glenafton, three teams only separated by six miles all being away from home at the same time, this has been the case for all fixtures so far this season and all being at home on the same day. Thinking about the supporters who for whatever reasons don’t travel too far for away games and don’t have the opportunity to see a local game on a Saturday 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it must be coincidental mind you - there can't be a reason for planning it like that youd've thought 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You not embarrassed It's already happened, many times, I mean some want to see their rivals getting pumped also, especially if the team their rivals are playing happen to be playing their own team the following weeks but i aint saying in their droves, there will be a few, the ones who don't travel to their home teams away games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassed? Moi? You're not from darkest Ayrshire, are ye? Me neither but at least I do know that no Cumnock or Talbot fan would even consider going to the others place of worship far less give them any candy to do so. Also if all 3 are away from home on the same day it will at least give the local polis one weekend off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that, well i consider that your view At least I can say factually that I know Cunmock fans and Talbot fans have went to watch the other team, why, cause I have a few who are friends on both sides and have done so, even when Tony McInally was manager, the talbot fans went hoping that he wouldn't leave cause he's a balloon and the Cumnock fans would watch Talbot so they didnt need to watch McInallys coaching their team . Outwith that, anyone hear how that coach is getting on who feel ill during a match recently?, not heard much although I've been working away quite a lot so hoping that he's going to be Ok 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Think I've seen Cumnock once as a neutral (last season's semi against the Glens), and the Glens in their Scottish semi way back in the season we routed them 4-0 in the final. Can't even remember who they beat but sure it was at Somerset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejackdaw Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Beith 1 glenafton 4 (aet) at somersett Park in the Scottish junior cup semi final ,a blatant tom Brown dive earning glenafton a late penalty in regulation time after Hughie findlay scored a first half header for beith from a Steve monan left footed free kick . Think there was about a crowd of 6,000 there that night and about 1992 . Edited August 23, 2023 by Thejackdaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I have come across plenty of Talbot folk at Cumnock games, and vice-versa. Plenty of the younger generation do it, especially with the schools being merged now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
