Hampden Diehard Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 13 hours ago, Jacksgranda said: In the highly unlikely event of Clyde, East Fife and Dumbarton all being relegated in the next 3 years - not necessarily in that order - then the national league will have lost teams who have won 2 league titles, 5 Scottish Cups and 3 League Cups between them. Quite the haul. I'm convinced that QP (ten Scottish Cups) would have headed to the LL, having been kicked out of Hampden and still amateurs , which is why I voted to take Willie Haughey's offer of financial support. Looking to the potential afterlife, I couldn't see us being better in the LL than some of the well run and well supported teams circling like vultures. A proud past means hee haw. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, but if the club is relegated to the Joey's leagues within a couple of generations it doesn't matter. Pre-2008ish I'd say we had a proud history, but the past few years have tarnished that beyond belief both on the pitch and off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see many Chairmen in L2 or L1 losing sleep over it. It’s a mess of our own doing and one that was completely avoidable. We can probably count ourselves extremely fortunate that we still have a chance of pulling off the great escape, even though Saturday really is last chance saloon. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it does in your case as the present day Queens is a different club from the one that preceded Lord Haugh Haugh's money. I've often wondered what attracted him.

I've often wondered what attracted him. For many of the rest of us our past is about all we've got. That was sort of my point. (It's about all that most of us have got...) With no disrespect to those that have already exited the SPFL - East Strilingshire, Berwick Rangers, Brechin City, Cowdenbeath and Albion Rovers - they were looked upon - rightly or wrongly - as very diddy clubs who were perennially struggling - again rightly or wrongly (wrongly in at least 2 cases) - and meant nothing to the League historically and wouldn't be missed. (I'm not saying I advocate that stance.) Clyde, Dumbarton and East Fife have a bit more history about them and all feature on the winners board of top Scottish honours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) 21 hours ago, PossilYM said: A Clyde drop would spread terror through a whole host of clubs. That terror probably already exists for all of the part time teams in Scotland , as you are showing even in league 1 you are only 2 seasons away from the trap door. Perhaps its time that those in the league made it easier to come back with a 2 up 2 down or 1 up one down and a play off arrangement for the second promotion/relegation spot. 20 hours ago, Jacksgranda said: In the highly unlikely event of Clyde, East Fife and Dumbarton all being relegated in the next 3 years - not necessarily in that order - then the national league will have lost teams who have won 2 league titles, 5 Scottish Cups and 3 League Cups between them. Quite the haul. All of which was as Kenny MacIntyre would say "a long long long time ago" and is of little relevance now to fans of other clubs, while obviously being very important to the history of each of the clubs concerned, the number of people who go to games now and actually witnessed these events in all 3 clubs must be very small.

support the underdog Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I hope I don't jinx thinks but going to the Bonnyrig game on Saturday- my fifth game (or fourth live). Still not seen Clyde lose this season! The Spartans draw , which should have been a win, away, Jeanfield and Bonnyrigg with the latter performance pretty decent at home and and then a pretty average performance v Musselburgh on TV. Pretty confidernt for another fine performance on Saturday I would say! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be well into your 70s to remember Clyde winning the Scottish Cup. And the Boomer generation are leaving us fast.

To be fair the club have came out fighting but as sad as it is its to late. Has no-one picked up that despite resigning as chair at season end....he is magnanimously staying on the Board to "advise and help the incoming Chair".......how lucky are we?

A new team would need to apply along with everyone else, if the replacement team in the lowland came from the East of South there would be no space in the West and the new team would be locked out. Now if only that system was in place just over a decade ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
