Are you saying that in hope or do you mean there are genuine plans to install a 3g in time for next season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our club are hoping to submit an application in January . We are heavily involved with our local community clubs and will be looking to share with them as well as being available for general public use. With my greenkeeping background it took a lot of persuasion to sway my opinion away from our grass pitch but it makes more sense both financially and playability wise to go down this route . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab news overall for the club. Always sad to see another grass pitch go, but at non league level (and even above) it just makes sense. The near guarantee of games going ahead (a rarity in the HFL) combined with the extra revenue from renting it out just makes sense. And arguably the most important aspect is the community element - being able to bring is so many local sports teams/clubs under the one umbrella to create a pathway. Best of luck - hope the application goes well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav nan Gael Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Only one game on today,in Banff,finished Vale 0 Clach 0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vale Vale Vale Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Draw was a fair result. Was amazed the game went ahead, was horrible conditions for both teams. We had good chance cleared off the line first half and Clach had a good chance 2nd half which the clach player fluffed. Was not many chances in the game.

They are already timed alongside the equivalent playoffs in the tiers above the week before the Scottish Cup Final... Unless whoever finishes bottom of SPFL2 is prepared to sit about for 1 or 2 weeks twiddling their thumbs they can start no later. Of course if there was automatic promotion there'd be no need; even automatic relegation with playoff for promotion could buy 2+ weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking more about missing out on a few sunny days and evenings of football after a long winter than the logistics of getting the pyramid up and running. I'd rather club 42 paid the price of inconvenience rather than every club in tiers 5 and 6 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs in tier 5 and 6 can set up their league and 14 different diddy cups fixture list in any way they wish to maximise 'a few sunny days and evenings' of football. They just have to conclude their league campaign in time to contest a play-off in line with the SPFL, who play two extra league games as it is.

Brechin played the last 5 midweeks to get finished last season, from Wed 22nd Mar to Wed 19th Apr, having also played Wed 22nd Feb (and been due to play Wed 8th Mar but got postponed). Had any game after Sat 18th Mar been postponed... or they reached League Cup Final... they'd have needed a Monday somewhere.

Objective facts apply to the Highland League as much as any other level of Scottish football. Thanks for playing anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
