The SYFA just hired it two weekends in a row for their Finals......and I'm sure the B teams bribes would easily cover it, plus £10 a head entry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah lets send both clubs on 160 mile round trip Apparently was picked at the start (Could've announced it then) which makes it even more bizarre.Obviously never thought Berwick would get to the final then. Berwick will be a fine host,just bonkers having finalists from where they are travelling down there. Even toss a coin for home advantage would probably get a bigger crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Having no knowledge or even who they might be. These blazers in charge of our Tier 5 setup do appear to be, dare I say it, amateurish in how they operate the league, the cups. The response, particularly from fans 're this League Cup is very apathetic at best. Their media output across any platform is extremely weak. It's the same with the SCC. Look at how the Junior Cup has been advertised and sold over the years. There is no sense of occasion exuded in anything they are involved with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrIrvinePollock Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Considering the carbon footprint this final is creating....I expect a pitch invasion from the Extinction Rebellion folks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched my local women's team Dryburgh Athletic in a league cup semi final at Airdrie earlier this season with 200ish in attendance. If they can afford playing that one in Airdrie, the LL Cup final shouldn't be an issue you'd think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having to play loads of London teams or travelling round the place makes a big difference too Conference South Lowestoft to Truro - 399 miles Lowestoft to Weymouth - 273 miles Conference North Gloucester to Newcastle - 261 miles Newcastle to Bishop Stortford - 258 miles While we have this... Highland League Wick to Tayport - 241 miles (sh!te roads!)

Aye it only works in England as it’s a better road net work. Dover to Thruro. Is the longest journey of them all. Wouldn’t say Berwick is a nightmare to get to apart from the Edinburgh city bypass, For supporters 45 minutes on the train from Waverley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossilYM Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Eventually a decade later, the LL is taking shape with the likes of Albion Rovers, Berwick Rangers, Cowdenbeath and East Stirlingshire being joined with Tranent, Bo'ness Utd and Linlithgow Rose. Just need to launch a few of those Boys Clubs and it will be suitable for use. Especially with the B teams moving upwards into the Conference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly moving further west, now only 5 (proper) clubs in Edinburgh/East Lothian/Midlothian/Borders compared to 9 in the first season of 16 teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Interesting to note that all four winners of the East Superleague in the Lowland area (i.e. except Lochee and Tayport) have now won the EOS and been promoted to the LL.
