It's an absolute truth that removing the two teams who have dominated top place in the league over the last 4 seasons means that it's a much poorer league. And whoever wins it will just need to accept that it's a completely hollow victory. Bonnyrigg have won the East Superleague the most times (level with a couple of other teams on three titles), and are likely to move out on their own with 4 titles come the seasons end. Throw in that they also have the most 2nd place finishes in the Superleague, have won more games than any other Superleague team in the last 16 seasons and have scored more goals in the superleague era than any other team and combined with 2 time Superleague winners Kelty moving on already then it is a blow to the competition BUT you can only beat what is in front of you and next season whilst the quality at the bottom of the Superleague will be poorer and that more and more of the top players will continue to gravitate to wards the LL but still the top of the table could be very interesting.

It's only really the university sides that have virtually no following in the EoS - otherwise it's not all that different. I actually considered Kirrie yesterday now the WW season is finished. Went to Tweedmouth v Eyemouth instead though, at Old Shielfield. 6-2 and pretty entertaining even if the standard is poor with two of the worst sides in the EOS. About 40 there I would say. A bonus is you can wander around Shielfield if the game is boring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bonus is you can wander around Shielfield if the game is boring I've only been to Tweedmouth once - same day as the Eyemouth game I mentioned which had been brought forward on account of the groundhop and allowed plenty of scope for a double-dunt of new grounds. The Kirrie game was decent (4-2 Haddington) although I'm not sure how much the attendance was impacted by the local festival commemorating Bon Scott of AC/DC on in the town this weekend - he was born there - which seemed to have taken over the place.

Whitburn Vale Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 P.s popped into the Whitburn v Bathgate derby game in the East Premier yesterday,competitive game,not a lot of football being played and a crowd of about 150. When i was a lad there would hav been at least double that there,heard a few folk saying how shite junior fitba had become. Most of the people there were all plus 50 too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energyzone Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 You also have to bear in mind that Hurlford finished bottom of the Ayrshire leagues with 0 points a few years running in mid 1990s - they've punched above their weight due to their sponsorship arrangements and there hasn't been a huge boost of interest running alongside that investment. It should also be borne in mind that Hurlford were promoted to the Premier League before the current main backer was installed, and they did so with the bulk of a squad which had to rely on a last match win to preserve their Super First status against Scottish champions Shotts the year before. They had been in the Super First for 4 or 5 years before that. They do not bad crowd-wise considering the issues they've had with the pitch and the fact they're only a mile from Kilmarnock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
