Scotland was full of great "local born" players back then. You could name the best players in every team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring facts: the white seats at Threave came from Love Street. To keep it relevant to the thread- must pop along to Central Park next season. Squad doesn't look too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Dumfries my friend. There's a border control at Lochfoot before you are allowed into The Galloway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open on match days from 12am right through with evening entertainment. It is one of the best kitted out non-league grounds in Scotland on a par with any, just not as lauded, it being located in the far-off South West. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t follow them that much except like teams that were either tier 5 or less doing well in the SPFL since 2015 I think Remember there was a big of a scuffle about the name change a few years back but don’t know full details, suppose it was the usual power struggle you get between the in-house fighting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_the_rover Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) It is the social club who own the rights to the name not the football club. They are 2 seperate entities social club are the only part of the original Edinburgh City left. Whereas the football club now were originally an amateur team called Postal United formed in the 60's who were granted permission to use the name in the 80's Last year there was a falling out and the social club told the football club to stop using the name, I think the social club were getting nothing from the football club Edited June 30, 2023 by Chris_the_rover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but it was just approved by the SFA yesterday. Speaking to someone last season the social club thing was a bit of a read herring re the name change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
