Wouldn't be shocked if the age thingy is dropped long term. Plus a Lowland League 2 or LL East/West till the SFA/SPL get what they want. The plan was that SPL clubs could have B teams and that they could rise as high as the second tier in a similar way to what happens at the moment in Holland and Portugal. Bo'ness United, Kelty Hearts and others that are keen on pyramid involvement seem to think a big upheaval is coming soon that will change the structure of the game at LL sort of level and they want to be licensed to be ready for it. I have never seen anything concrete in writing but an influx of U-20 teams seems to me to be the most probable explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Wish teams would just use this guff as preparation for the Youth Cup for their youth teams. A predictably failed exercise. Obviously still hope we win, but any defeat will be met with a shrug of the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Pishing down and dreich as it gets in this bloody country at Forthbank. Not even any of the Saturday Specials, or whatever they were called, for the Irn Bru Firm to kick the shit out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add that to the 255 at Annan. A mighty 368 turning out to watch the Scottish Giants colts teams. Doncaster is a fucking weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Crowd of 274 at East Stirling v Ayr This tournament should be binned. Or opened up to the lowland league and highland league/juniors instead of colts etc. It's dying on its arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLichtie86 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So both Sevco and Celtic Colt teams were papped out in the first round....But i thought they wanted to have them in the league setup as they were too good for the development league.

Results in this competition will not change the ultimate goal of their introduction into the league system by the powers that be. The challenge cup was a good outlet for teams outwith the Premier League & gave teams that were not going to win a major cup the chance to possibly win a lesser one. The introduction of Colt teams should be seen as a threat to proper clubs places in the league eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
