It at least acknowledges their own history at this point. On paper this will be their 5th ground in 10 seasons. Ashfield-Maryhill-Alloa-Broadwood-Dumbarton? They won't spend very long at ours either I wouldn't think. Our pitch is a shambles and it amazes me that any team would pay to play on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossilYM Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 5 hours ago, LongTimeLurker said: Meanwhile, Coatbridge is actually only around 50% Roman Catholic and only slightly more tilted in that direction than other nearby towns like Airdrie, Motherwell, and Hamilton rather than a Scottish version of the Falls Road, and Celtic are right on the doorstep for anyone who wants to link a plastic Irish identity to their football support. File this one under M for moronic... I'd file under Craig Whyte Retro Cheap suit, flats in the Merchant City, buys Albion Rovers for the proverbial £1 and punts the land to some dodgy councillors called O'Boyle, Gallagher and McLaughlin on the planning and/or housing committee of NLC for some completely inflated price It gets 10 pages on P&B on why Albion Rovers directors voted for the B teams 24 hours before Albion are vaporized. The 100 odd Albion fans greet and are last seen running a mini bus to Braehead to watch ice hockey. The chap with the Bombay suit is rumoured to be looking at Morton and renaming them Greenock Shamrock. You know it makes sense............ -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is? Not the club, that’s for sure. The story is this: Egotistic chancer outlines crazy plans regarding a small football club, is sent packing by the club but manages to enlist gullible journalist to publicise his deluded fantasies..

roy of the rovers Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Now that anyone with any sense realises this name change keech is exactly that can I ask a couple of wee questions about life in the LL.

Cheers I think the issue with live streaming in the SPFL was the blocked hours from Sky/BT Sports which don't apply to the LL so I believe the club should be able to live stream. No transfer windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No transfer windows. Transfer windows kick in for the play offs as they're under SFA rules. Fort William were caught out by that, trying to field a player recruited in March for an April play off, I think the deadline was January. I'd assume that would apply for the LL champions too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sermani Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Possible silly question coming, does the relegated League 2 team, this year the wee Rovers, get a parachute payment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 6 minutes ago, Sermani said: Possible silly question coming, does the relegated League 2 team, this year the wee Rovers, get a parachute payment? Yes. I believe it's £40k in year 1 and a further £20k in year 2, if they don't get promoted at the first attempt. Brechin received both payments over the last two seasons, so will get nothing for season 2023/24. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans from a relegated ex-league club told us about a parachute payment, just never seen or heard anything else about it. Any chance of a parachute payment on Relegation from the LL? asking for a friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
