tamthebam Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 2 hours ago, Stag Nation said: It makes sense for any half-serious football club to structure itself as a limited company - in fact it would be foolish not to. If they don't, the individual club members would be responsible for the club's debts if it all goes belly-up. Not something that could ever happen in Scottish football, of course ... And the individual club members then get told to sod off when some chancer takes over the limited company. On an entirely different note it was said when Edinburgh City became a limited company it was a requirement of Scottish League membership so maybe Spartans were just getting their ducks in a row at the time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Brechin just changed to one at the start of last season after their restructure after relegation. As for someone taking over don’t let them get a majority shareholding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chancer can only take over the company if the majority of the shareholders (or "members") sell him their shares. Sometimes that's a straightforward decision - a large cheque versus a continuing (small) part in the company. Probably more often, they're convinced that the chancer can secure a better future for the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranraer have always been a members' club. This does have the disadvantage that debts can’t be walked away from via administration, as has been done by some other clubs companies.

Cowdenleith Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Very well done to Spartans, probably not at their best today, maybe a few nerves, but worthy league winners. Good luck in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekok Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Really happy Spartans are champions. Given the resources and £ of the B teams this is actually a very impressive outcome. As an aside it is a poke in the eye to those who consistently demean the standard of our League. Today we drew 1-1 with Tranent in a very exciting and enjoyable game. We should be much more proactive in setting out our stall. The Lowland League is a very good and well run League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoofhearted Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Thanks to all who sent congratulations. I didn't want to come on last week and preempt anything. We have achieved 2 of 5 objectives. Play off - tick Lowland League- tick HL play off -tbc Club 42 play off - tbc South Challenge Cup tbc I suspect it will be the main squad on Tuesday v the Braves, but next Saturday lots of 20s will play v Berwick. Hopefully 10 days rest will help before the game on 29th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Congrats on the win. Am I right one saying if Brechin win midweek it’s a title decider on Saturday between Buckie and Brechin. What an end to the season, that 10 day break could really give you the advantage! Good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brechin win or draw on Wednesday and it is a title decider on Saturday. A draw would put Brechin 3 points behind Buckie with Brechin having the superior goal difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe good to give the players a rest, especially if there's niggling injuries, but sometimes you lose momentum. I have a vague memory of Gary arranging a friendly for City when we were between games going into the play-offs. Anyway get it up thae mutton molester league winners 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only need to beat Keith now to set that up but having to play that game means they won't be as fresh as Buckie for the big game next Saturday. Elgin winning yesterday was a big blow to Dalbeattie Star's possible lifeline on avoiding relegation. Albion Rovers need two results in three games to catch them now with probable champions Stirling Albion as their last fixture while Elgin will play Bonnyrigg Rose in their last game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Well done Spartans. Thought it was funny when all the kids ran out of the mini pitch cage behind the goals to celebrate with the players at the corner flag when Henderson scored and the young team all ran from the far end of the stand to join in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young team were sitting just along from me. It was quite funny when they just all started to run along to that end at the goal. As I’ve said many times before lots of clubs claim to be community clubs but Spartans are the real deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
