Thought it was all about player development

Second thoughts at Shielfield possibly. Sadly I am not a member of any of those any longer, but fair dos to them for doing this https://berwickrangers.com/colts-proposal-call-confirmed/

Supporters Trust never even asked members for their views. So that's another few quid a month saved.

There's going to be some moaning when a key player suffers a serious injury against the Colts teams and is ruled out for a large chunk of the season. So even if the points don't count there's still huge potential for the games to have a major impact on the season. Still, it will all be worth it when we win the World Cup thanks to the experience some 18 year old had at Innerleithen one January day pumping a team that conceded on average eight goals a game.

Ah well it won't make much difference but they'll need nine extra fans at each of the colts games as there is 18 games I won't be at

Looks like being tight. I suspect my club may support it.

It was driven by a Braves fan so two consultations in one

To a certain degree he has a point. Other clubs, including my own, are 'consulting ' with fans which isn't the same a letting them make decisions. I have worked in jobs where we have 'consulted' with customers but the decisions have long been made. It's easy enough to say 'we consulted but we have the full facts at our finger tips and taking all things into consideration we appreciate the input of our fan base, however..........'. My experience also tells me that when you ask people to get in touch with their views they very rarely do and then complain afterwards when the decision isn't the one they like or want (guilty as charged), which is very different from holding public meetings, polls etc (I appreciate the time constraints on this). I suspect many of us voicing our outrage on the forums won't get in touch with the club to say no and it's interesting to note that many of the social media posters closest to the top are silent or neutral on the matter on the forums. It could be argued that the statement explaining the proposal issued by Berwick is geared very much to supporting it particularly because of the financial side. There is very little about costs or potential disadvantages. The Old Firm are smart enough to realise clubs are struggling post-COVID and the appeal of extra money may be enough to swing them behind the proposal.

Very true, my bad

Spot on. No doubt some Lowland and Highland chairmen will be bought off with the promise of two places for each league in the bottom tier - some because they think they'll be one of the two and others because they think it will give them a better chance in the future of getting into the league. Not even sure it will make that much difference to crowds as they don't exactly flock through the gates for the Colts' cup games

Doubling down in my admiration of your faith in them

Rearranged home game against BSC for next Saturday (brought forward from March) and Gala away for a week on Tuesday. Not hard to see the nosedive to the bottom four continuing after those games

I admire your faith in Berwick Rangers
