Less than evens on average. Are you going today? I wonder if charging for NCL games will catch on? Seems fair enough to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Aye. Gonna get pished in the Highlands anyway but hoping to catch a game. Was sunny all the way up but pushing it down now we're in GlencoeJust parked up. Looks like game may indeed be ON but if you see any DIY shops in town would you mind bringing along a wee flymo? The grass is like the rough on the 8th at Royal Troon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly think the emergence of the Midland League helped kick the North Juniors into action, though I think some clubs were already up for change. The NCL seemed to be up for it already.

LongTimeLurker Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 What I was pointing out was more that FW and Golspie would be the only licensed clubs at tier 6 right now with neither a sure thing to take out Strathspey Thistle or whoever even if they did win the NCL title. In other words there may be an element of truth to that suggestion even if it isn't the full story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted rid of Fort they could have just kicked them out when they didn't bother telling the league their pitch was a pile of rubble days before the start of last season. Instead they bent over backwards to keep them in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Fort William 0 Golspie Sutherland 1 HT.Enjoyable game here at a sun drenched Claggan Park. Fort had much the better of the first half, with some eye catching players, in particular the No.11 who looks like a tricky winger who is very comfortable on the ball.Golspie made only a couple of ventures up through the verdant grasslands of the Fort William half but managed to nick a goal just before half time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the pitch is fine but there's these mad clumps of jungle around the placeIt's really boggy behind each goals. Like walking on a sponge. Not sure whether the actual pitch is like that. The Flymo would have blown up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
