There remains the possibility of Bonnyrigg being dragged into the playoff fight, as their recent form hasn't been great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowenan Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Elgin and Clyde won today. Will be a tense finish, but Elgin and Forfar, both in a decent situation. Edited March 16 by lowenan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde’s result was huge today. Bonnyrigg are on a really bad run, and could be the most likely at this moment to finish bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sermani Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Could be Stranraer v Dalbeattie Star in the Lowland League next season. Unbelievable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Looking increasingly likely it'll be a LL area team in the play-off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do concede I’d rather be in the SPFL. However I still have a club to support and I’m still hoping things improve and we can get back up. As someone said it’s the hope that kills you. This is what supporting your team is all about, the bad times and the good times. The LL is a hard league and many games are actually enjoyable If the pyramid workings was right then we'd have teams having the highs of promotion and lows of relegation but everything is in each teams hands, run the correct and best way, they should be moving up, not run well and problems then they could go down. I'm sure it was hurting being relegated into the Lowland league after many years in the SPFL but it isnt that bad and there is always hope that one year, your team could get it together and move up divisions again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Months ago I genuinely thought that Clyde were a dead cert to go down but now, there’s a few who could finish last. Agreed think it will go right to the end and I just couldn’t call it -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always looked like he would bang in the goals at the lower levels. Unfortunately, when he was with Cowden, we had clueless Bollan in charge and Allan didn't get a proper chance. I think it's six goals in four games now for him. Clyde have what should be a couple of tough games coming up, but it looks like Spartans and Peterhead have already assumed they won't be caught. If Clyde gets some points from the next two matches they will be in with a decent chance of catching Stranraer or Bonnyrigg. The latter two play each other in a few weeks as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't need to bother about getting their ground up to bronze level if they went down so you never know. I imagine a few LL sides will be worried if Stranraer went down with the travelling costs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might open up some better players who can't manage their work around a League 2 calender but it find it easier to play LL, maybe on less money too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed think it will go right to the end and I just couldn’t call it When this thread started Clyde were 11 points behind Bonnyrigg and 8 points behind Stranraer, having played a game more than both. Since then Clyde have taken 9 points from 4 games while Stranraer have taken 4 from 5 and Bonnyrigg just 1 from 5. With Stranraer playing both of the other two in the next three weeks it's going to be compelling. And before the pyramid, these would all have been meaningless games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
