Well done. How many times can the same point be addressed?? It comes up on here all the time, and no matter what's said, the same tired old replies come.

Where did I say it didn't interest me old chap?When someone has something new to add, or stops taking cheap shots, or stops handing out insults (ring any bells?)I may take more of an interest.

Now, every new club has to start somewhere of course, and establish themselves and a fan base, but that shouldn't be at the 5th tier of Scottish football. there are clubs with literally no fans with the only people watching parents and WAGS. It's entirely valid to debate this issue without it being called "pish". Clydebank have an established fan base equal or greater than anything in the LL. I don't get the Bournemouth analogy. This 250 fan base that clydebank have really does get the sporting juices flowing for a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastle broon Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The same guys that keep up the same patter are just bitter their teams are not part of the LL set up. It must hurt them that much seeing the progression of the LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 100/150 figure that you quote is more akin to our away following. As much chance of promotion to the SPFL as Whitehill Newky unless lights have gone up or your planning to play at Alloa if you went up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest what sort of crowds does your team get ? Probably aboot the same as mine I'd imagine but I don't go shouting from the rooftops demanding they shouldn't be in the LL because of it ?

I doubt anyone at the club pays much attention to the LL, and rightly so, if it was being done correctly it would be full of the best clubs non-league south of the Tay has to offer, so way above our level. It's supposed to be the 5th tier of Scottish football afterall, no place for three men or three dugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can hardly blame the sfa for the mindset of committee's in Ayrshire and west Lothian with there insular outlook and tribal attitude to football and there clubs.they opened up the closed shop to all,put in a criteria rule which is easily achieved. If clubs don't take advantage so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
