Time will tell. That might lead to some interesting blazer politics but if Scone are sticking with the ERSJFA/ML there is already a Perth area club on board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already a Fife club too so does that mean they should let other Fife clubs join the ML? Sure the North juniors will love a trip to Perthshire to go with their trip to Fife (should plans for league set ups for 22/23 go ahead and these clubs are involved). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which begs the question why they would not be allowed a grace period like Thornton, Kirkcaldy YM etc received given their setup didn't look drastically far off. That's plenty for Perthshire beyond the Ochils now given how far it is to drive and given there's no longer a danger of the east region becoming an LL feeder may be lurking in there as well. Would it be reasonable for the EoS to object to ERSJFA/ML entry for Letham after rejecting them? Will be interesting to see what unfolds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) On the Lowland League catch-up podcast they discussed the Midland League and they also said the DD-postcode will be defined as ML territory, meaning Tayport will be officially within the catchment area and they won't need to make an exception for them.

There's 3 or 4 teams in Tayside will get to the Highland League before Downfield but hopefully they will get there sometime. Always one of my favourite away days. First of all Toshney need's to get the club playing football rather than the MMA that they excelled in last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, yes I can sir. In the East Region Premiership North in the last few years the best teams have been Lochee Utd, Broughty Athletic and Carnoustie Panmure. After that Downfield along with Tayport could reasonably lay claim to be the best of the rest. Anything else, just ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Weren't Downfield the one getting taking over by an ams team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre 2006 Tayport probably would but the Tayport team since haven't really done anything of note have they? I didn't say they would be there very quickly. One day they might get there but the only teams I would expect to get there very quickly are Lochee and Broughty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 People from Kirkton Amateurs have taken over from the Marrs I believe. 32 minutes ago, Jimi Shandrix said: There's 3 or 4 teams in Tayside will get to the Highland League before Downfield but hopefully they will get there sometime.

Hey, if it works it works, team has been grinding out results for a wee bit now. Just wait till you see Toshball in action though, will leave Lochee and Broughty flat on their erses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Im well disposed towards the spiders. Proper junior ground. Second onky to North End. Toshney will be a disaster. PS where an ams team getting funding from. They getting the lease on the social club too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 It seems to me that a fair few Tayside teams are seriously working on improving on and off the pitch. The Highland League could look quite different if a few Tayside teams make it up in the next couple of years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I wouldn't be shouting that last bit from the rooftops on Fitba North until all the paperwork gets processed and approvals are provided, but Downfield, Tayport, North End, Violet, Broughty, Lochee United (assuming, as is also necessary with Tayport, devil's illuminations are on the way), Lochee Harp, Coupar Angus, Kirrie, Forfar WE and Brechin Vics really can't be so far away on ground related issues on entry level and Carnoustie Panmure are a strong enough club that they can be expected to get it sorted as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
