The away support is still good. Compared to a few years ago, Kilwinning, Kilbirnie and Meadow being replaced by Gartcairn, Drumchapel and St Cadocs in the top flight is a bit of a hit to the match day incomes of some clubs. There must have been about 150-odd Kilwinning supporters at Hurlford at the tail end of last season for example, now replaced by approximately zero. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, some of these clubs aren't attracting any kind of numbers, some with next to no travelling support. The Buffs may well be struggling at present, but opposition treasurers are still happy when we visit town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Cambuslang drew 3-3 with Peasy, but even if they had won they would have been relegated anyway as Maybole had a shock 1-0 win at Drumchapel. Ashfield had come back from behind twice to lead 3-2 against Whitletts, but went 4-3 down before equalising late on. The draw means Ashfield can no longer go up and the final promotion spot is now between Shotts and Glencairn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were punching when in the prem but it’s a massive blow going down again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying any cash at gate means supporters have less money to spend at kiosk and bar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) All over, and I don't even think there'll be much shouting in the remaining games. I'll be celebrating the last home game in Corfu on Saturday, so St Rochs will be my swansong for the season. We'll be leaving a great division, given the teams coming down, but looking forward to a few big games next season. It was tough to be best of the rest and I think finances played a big part in the places as they stand now. Second would be good, but no big deal. Well done everybody.

glensmad Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 2 hours ago, Mine Man said: Yes next years division will be very difficult to get out of even more than than this years in my opinion The three teams coming up from Division Two will be looking to challenge at the top again, they'll need to strengthen of course but I expect them to do that. The three teams coming down from the Premier will be under pressure from their support to challenge for promotion straight back up, but (as I've mentioned before) none of last year's relegated teams from the Premier have made it back up this year, and one of them has suffered another relegation. It'll be interesting to see who is in the mix this time next year. If we can hang onto the players we want to keep in our squad and add a few reinforcements, then I hope we will be challenging again. Ashfield will be an unknown quantity at the moment given their change of managerial situation. Petershill will be expected to be up there again, and you only need to read the Kilwinning thread to see their expectations as well. Blantyre are always a tough nut to crack and were up near the top for most of the season despite having a negative goal difference for most of the time. I know from having spoken to him that David Gormley has high hopes for his Thorniewood side next season as well, and Kilbirnie Ladeside are a big club who will have demands placed on them by their supporters. So you're probably correct, it'll be another crazy mad cut-throat league next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Shotts 0 St Rochs 0. It's been as good as it reads. Bonny Ultras stealing a Palestinian flag has provided any entertainment there's been. Edited May 15 by Sergeant Wilson -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The flag and it's owner have been re-united after a short chase. Shotts won 2-0. Candy sub keeper got sent off with a few minutes to go, but the resultant penalty nearly cleared the club, never mind the bar. Second half was better than the first and there was a decent travelling support given their was nothing at stake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
