HibeeJibee Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Couldn't find old thread.

HibeeJibee Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Figures are for localities in last census. It appears Erskine, Helensburgh, Milngavie, Giffnock, Clarkston and Bonnybridge are now the biggest places without a team in the pyramid. Entry of Campbeltown to next season's West of Scotland League means every mainland local authority area is now represented. Orkney will also join the party - if North Caledonian joins up under HL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Syngenta, although traditionally a Grangemouth team, are playing at Stenhousemuir next season. So Grangemouth with no club again - and presumably the biggest town without a side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Grangemouth with no club again - and presumably the biggest town without a side. I've classed clubs like that - who may move on again in X years? - alongside their traditional home e.g. Rossvale as Bishopbriggs not Glasgow; St Cadocs as Newton Mearns not Glasgow; Edinburgh South as Edinburgh not Dalkeith; and so on... In only a few years Syngenta has played from (or proposed to play from) Grangemouth Athletics Stadium, Dunipace, Little Kerse in Falkirk, and now Stenhousemuir. Kirkintilloch (at Cumbernauld Utd) are groundsharing while a new ground is being built but again tabulated under actual hometown not temporary stop. Caledonian Braves and BSCG are more awkward... Motherwell and Alloa respectively. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) I had a particularly boring period at work this week doing training so made a big list of all the towns in Scotland and all the clubs in the pyramid and came up with an ugly spreadsheet for you all to enjoy https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16j3XFB0PfrVsKj3k_8eBzLCVOE5mh3-ZQiYvlUxzoXs/edit?usp=sharing Let me know if ye spot any obvious mistakes Edited September 10, 2021 by AsimButtHitsASix 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned in the notes. I've kept teams to where their 'spiritual' home is. Despite them both playing in Grangemouth they're Falkirk teams. It's why Yoker are under Glesga and Clydebank under Clydebank despite playing at the same stadium. 13 hours ago, Wile E Coyote said: Lochar Thistle don't play in Locharbriggs.

They formed as an amatuer team in Locharbriggs but when they joined the SOS they originally played at Max High school (also in Lochside) before moving to their new location so they have never played a senior game in Locharbriggs. Personally I would say they are from Lochside but its down to your interpretation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Broughty Ferry is in Dundee. It's no more independent of Dundee than Lochee and even if it was Broughty Athletic play in Douglas anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 As of this season, Dundee has a ninth team, Dundee St. James. Or maybe 10th, AFAIK Broughty Ferry was a separate entity until 1913 when it was incorporated into Dundee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They moved to the current ground,over a mile from the Ferry, in 1951 having rebranded from Broughty Ex Servicemen. IMO they are clearly a Dundee team although @Jimi Shandrix will know better than me if they draw support from Balgillo Rd or Balunie Ave Edited September 13, 2021 by invergowrie arab 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support seems to come from both the Ferry and Douglas. It's fine, I'm boring myself here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'm surprised that Pitmedden has such a large population. I thought they'd be the smallest Tier 5 town by some distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Neils40yarder Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Caledonian Braves playing out of Motherwell is a bit of an anomaly...absolutely nowhere near Motherwell and much closer to Bothwell, Bellshill or Hamilton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
