Chairman/backers exerting too much influence about on-field matters? Maybe. It can't possibly be based on what was going on on the pitch - they have had a very good season, especially after Colin Nish came in. It does make you think there must be more to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, those sour faced chaps with the matching team coats that tried to get the game postponed at Cowdenbeath, until the referee told the, to GTF. I could see that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the same chairman when Max Christie walked away and then joined Bo’ness the next week? If so there seems to be no longevity in the job there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor7 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Berwick wow... I assume they wanted to use a LL ground for the final. Spartans? Tranent? CSS? Nah lets send both clubs on 160 mile round trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Maybe it's like the Superbowl and Berwick put together a good bid. I wonder who'll be doing the half time show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Guessing it's a bit like in the WoSFL where they ask members if they're interested in hosting the final. Which led to Drumchapel & St Cadoc's going down to Ayrshire in last season's Strathclyde Cup final. With so many groundshares in the Lowland it further limits the options available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Spartans would have been the sensible choice, given they were the only team not in the competition thus offering a neutral venue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only thoughts on that is they hosted last season. So maybe they would want to spread it round. Also if they knew going into it they were going to be in the SPFL Playoff, they might not want the distraction of playing host the weekend they could be battling for promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that wound be ruled out on the cost of the hire for the stadium, Berwick are probably charging very little, if anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 A Summer's day out in Berwick for a Cup Final, what's not to like? And some slightly cheaper beer for the return trip! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
