welshbairn Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I'd go for a close battle between Banks o Dee and Brechin but you can't rule out Fraserburgh spoiling the party. I doubt Buckie will be in the mix this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsmart Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Banks O' Dee and Brechin are the only teams in the league to hold the relevant licence to enable them to take part in the play off at the end of the season. I think Brechin will win the league 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other club could apply to the SPFL for a waiver to still take part and potentially get promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edzellcityfan Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I think Fraserburgh will win the league, unless we sign a striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm_1982 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Brechin are definitely a good striker short otherwise I think we are in decent enough shape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1993 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Think Brora are dark horses. Fraserburgh, Brechin, BOD and Formartine in the running. The bottom teams appear stronger so could be close with a few surprise results along the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 No bookies are taking bets on league champions anymore, not after losing a bundle on Brora being given it after 3 games during Covid. Same with the Lowland League having B-teams skewing the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought there would have been a lot more money on Breach and the others in total than on Brora. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was before Brechin got demoted and Brora were favourites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Mongo del Fantastico Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Based on yesterday, I can seen Nairn having a similar looking goal difference to last season. Creating chances, but also allowing a lot of chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Main Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Went to the Buckie game at Stenny on Saturday. Based on that alone, I'd say they will be a mile off it this year. Stenny are decent and should be looking forward to their Year in Div 1 after going up, but Buckie looked like a team who'd just met each other tbh... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) See it's reported Deveronvale - and also Fort William in NCL? - will be operating without floodlights this season. 'Vale haven't had working lights since late last year. Is this true and if so - how is that compatible with their club licensing and Scottish Cup participations? Berwick have just been upgrading our lights and I'm aware of a club in EOSL First Division who have accrued considerable costs completing repairs in time for start of season. Also won't 'Vale have to play midweek games? P&J article but it's behind a paywall. Keen northerners may know more.

Deveronvale have been given the go-ahead to continue playing at Princess Royal Park this season. The Banffers have been without floodlights at their ground since December after one of their pylons blew down. With new floodlights still to be installed there had been concern Deveronvale may have had to play elsewhere. However, at a meeting of all 18 Breedon Highland League clubs on Thursday night the unanimous decision was taken to allow Vale to continue playing at home when the season gets under way later this month. At present for Saturday games there is enough daylight to play matches without the need for floodlights. Deveronvale chairman Aaron Lorimer revealed they hope to have new lights installed for the winter months. Deveronvale chairman Aaron Lorimer. He said: “I’d like to thank all the Highland League clubs for reaching the decision they have. “I also wish to thank Inverurie Locos chairman Mike Macaulay and Turriff United chairman Gairn Ritchie for offering us the use of their facilities should we need it. “We hope to have new floodlights by the time they’re needed in November. “At the moment there is no grant funding available to us so we are still trying to get the funding in place, but we’re working hard to get that in place.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Clach and Strathspey have improved if so then we will definitely be in relegation battle going by what I’ve seen in friendly matches. Hope I’m proved totally wrong, hope the new striker we have signed can bang them in for us and get us further up the table, will see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav nan Gael Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) Defo nervous about the coming season.......Strathy hav signed players that will improve them greatly. Defo think Lochee United will win the Midland league too. Can only hope the guys we've signed see us through and we keep our SHFL status. New floodlights hopefully up in PRP,sometime before November.
