LongTimeLurker Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Time to resurrect an original member of the Scottish League instead? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowlairs_F.C. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyro Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 What is it with new, fake clubs now? I still can't fathom what possessed them into thinking this was a good idea! 20 seconds of thought would have brought up "oh there's another club called Caledonian Thistle already..." Yet they still release this nonsense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Just when this absolute nonsense of clubs splitting/renaming looks it can't get any worse, we have a second Caledonian Thistle in the pyramid. I swear some of these decisions must be made as a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Turns out the WoS Fourth Division team put out a statement to clarify things from where they stand. It's a bit of a struggle to get through. https://rossvalefcacademy.co.uk/club-statement/ Quote Name Change Media Statement Further to reports in the media our Club was changing its name we would like to clarify and state the Club has no intention to change its name and will remain as Rossvale FC. For clarification the announcement came from the team currently competing in the West of Scotland 1st Division as Rossvale FC (The Team). Rossvale FC (The Team) were granted an application to leave Rossvale FC (The Club) to set up on their own as a separate entity, this application was granted by Rossvale FC (The Club) with the agreement they could still play under the Rossvale FC name to alleviate issues with league and identity till a time when they would change their name for season 2023/24. The announcement yesterday was expected and welcomed by (The Club) Rossvale FC, unfortunate its caused some confusion across social media. During season 2022/23 Rossvale FC (The Team) competing in the 1st Division of the West of Scotland League West of Scotland 1st Division has not formed any part of Rossvale FC (The Club) The name change took place on the 5th of April where Rossvale FC (The Team) changed their name to Caledonian Thistle FC. With no name association to Rossvale FC (The Club), we now wish Caledonian Thistle FC every success operating and competing under their new name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drs Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 ...and the new name is now Caledonian Locomotives FC, going by the statement it looks like Inverness telt them to do one in a polite fashion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthurlie1981 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I see they have blocked people replying to the tweet. A very harsh lesson for the committee on how to communicate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
