It will be a refreshing change for Rovers, and I suspect they'll be playing the HL winners given the relative strength they have. That will be a first then. Vast majority of the fans there today will probably never enter that ground ever again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unitedbino Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Congrats to Spartans, but sad to see Albion Rovers go. The SPFL will feel weird without them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume their income is going to take a serious hit. They're definitely losing Charlie Reiily, who either scored or assisted 36 of Rovers' 48 goals this season. They'll be vulnerable to losing a few more of their better players, like Sonkur and Bevan and without somone putting cash in, will the be able to replace them? I suspect we'll see a significantly different Albion Rovers team next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I've always had a lot of respect for Rovers fans, just for not jumping on the Celtic bandwagon like 99% of Coatbridge. Wanted them to win for that alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 5 League 2 clubs relegated, 4 to the LL and 1 to the HL. You finish bottom your down........ I think the stick the SPFL will always use to beat this logic is that there are 2 feeder leagues below. Part of why they are trying to weasel the conference bollocks in, I'd suspect, so they can kid on they care 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Surprised by that given how impressive Rovers have been when I've seen them at The Rock this season, but you don't finish bottom for nothing. I'm not thrilled at pro B team, sport centre stadium users Spartans replacing Albion Rovers, but someone has to come up and they've done it on merit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linlithgow Rose will cause a lot of damage to other LL teams next season plus the rivalry with Bo'ness United being there too will only fire them onward........ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True I did forget EK since they've been bottling it recent years, I'm sure they'll be a few up their just feel like the EOSL team always seem to challenge straight away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there is any clear favourite. EK appear to be about to splash the cash and Berwick got their act together in the second half of the season to name two examples of other clubs you can make a strong case for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big part of that is winning games and challenging for a title after half a decade of getting pumped rotten week after week though I'd imagine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
