Stag Nation Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 4 hours ago, welshbairn said: A Buckie director told me last year that Peterhead and Cove directors warned him that visiting officials get lousy hospitality in the SPFL compared to the Highland League and he had no interest in promotion. It must be nice to know your directors' priorities ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave94 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 1 hour ago, Stag Nation said: The other half of the country seem to have even more reason to be fearful:. the four south clubs relegated to the LL so far have just finished 9th, 10th, 13th and 14th. The other side of it is that 3 promoted clubs finished in the top 8 in the LL and a further 2 are already in the SPFL. Clubs finding their level both up and down. But Brechin shouldn't fit, having spent much of the last 20 years yoyoing between level 2 and 3 before their hitting-every-branch-on-the-way-down nosedive into the HL quicksand. It's ironic that Cove Rangers are almost a like for like replacement so far in their short history in the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did their job and facilitated a HL champion in time for the play off date. Not their fault Buckie/SPFL made an arse of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edzellcityfan Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Still fail to see what the SPFL have done wrong also? They were quite clear all the way through. And believe me, I’m no fan of that organisation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishLoon Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) It's already been said but as farcical as this play off situation has ended up, I'm surprised people weren't more vocal about how likely this was going to happen considering nobody in the league not even Brechin would have even been able to go up since the new licence measures were brought in last year. Should also say I think the whole bronze licence requirements they've brought in are clearly too high if only east Kilbride and cumbernauld colts qualify for promotion from tier 5 and is very much more spfl gatekeeping bullshit.

welshbairn Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Bill Leckie has a story in the Sun today where I agree with the general gist about the SFA but misses the big point, Buckie could have got a "period of grace" to gain bronze status if they'd just put their paperwork in on time. It's pretty much like fielding an unregistered player, except this time it's the whole club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
