I may have missed this earlier in the thread but have Shire fans enjoyed their first lowland league season? New grounds, new league,new rival fans etc etc or has it been shite?

Lowland league has been very refreshing, for me Saturday's have became enjoyable again, looking forward to next season which if we had been promoted wouldn't have been the case.

Trying to organise a night out in Hawick next month and thought this place would be best to ask since you seemed to travel down in big numbers for an evening game recently. Are there many decent pubs or is it worth just going to Gala where I've been out before? Looking for something a bit different. Also glad to see you enjoying the season past and hope to see you back up in League 2 soon.

 Lewis Peddie and Simon White have signed for next season. Happy with that, was worried they might move on due to lack of playing time.

I would like to see us fielding a reserve side next year in order for our fringe players to keep match fit

Hawick Common riding is on from the 8th to the 10th of June. I think it's just a massive piss up and everybody's work closes early. It celebrates protecting the town and chasing English soldiers away 700 years ago or something along those lines

This would be a great development, I suppose the issue is where they would play? It wouldn't make much financial sense to rent out Ochilview for mid-week game

Couple of LL clubs have Amateur teams - plus Stirling Uni have their EOS XI for reasons dating back to LL formation - but most run U20s in LL & EOS U20 Development League. It's played on Friday nights with over-age players allowed and doesn't need any re-registering. Edinburgh City kept their U20s in it despite promotion. 'Shire scrapped theirs on relegation IIRC?

Apparently we're signing Colin Leiper from Lithgae Rose and a Gemmell from Bo'ness but I've never heard of him

Any time I have seen Leiper he has been very good. Gemmell is a useful player as well.
