Already there, but we need to add a urinal to each dressing room which will cost £50k each. You can come along and officially open them with an inaugural pish if you like? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with a guy who plays for their under 19s and be playing in their under 20s next season and the move seems positive with the way he talks. To the point I wish ours was as positive 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason King Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 You haven't tried a single jot beyond the "its the juniors" refrain, which isn't in any way a reasonable response to the question that has repeatedly been put to you. I'm beginning to think you know there aren't any positives to staying Junior. ...and there are 160 clubs in the Juniors, that may have something to do with why its so busy compared to say the LL which has 16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auchinleck Talbot would be one of the clubs who have the potential to achieve this. Let's not get carried away. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League One is a more realistic pinnacle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) The town of Ayr has continually failed to put a credible senior team together for over 100 years; quite why anyone expects one of their county's bumpkin villages to do any better from tier 7 or 8 is a mystery.

I don't think most Talbot fans think it, which is one of the reasons why most on this thread prefer to stay Junior. Everyone else simply looks at them as being one of the best part-time teams in the country. That's enough to get them to League One, possibly the Championship. Then all you have to do is throw some money at it like a Ross County or Gretna. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Those talking about how a club like Talbot, or one of the traditional top Junior clubs, would do if they joined a pyramid. Based on what? They’d maybe have the potential to do that, Stranraer/Cowden and Brechin have had very good squads with shitey crowds and same goes for Alloa at the moment. I hope you aren’t talking about their current squad though, it looks absolutely horrendous. Full of ex jobbers from clubs like Albion, Montrose, East Stirling and Ayr under 20s. Lyle was a decent L2 full back a few year ago at Stenny but other than that I don’t see what would make you think they’d be better than any side currently in L2 never mind one of the top sides in League One 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my meaning was only intended about the club due to the support and existing infrastructure. I would never assume a club gaining promotion from a lower league would be able to compete without significant turnover in squad. Especially multiple leagues that Talbot would have to go through. Even if I was daft enough to think the current squad was capable of such a feat as being competitive in League One, there would have to be the awareness of at best 4-5 years just to get there which would mean turnover in the squad as you can't beat time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLad Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 How is generally the feeling at the club about this step? Obviously, your position is well known, but are there many people who are against it? Blackburn are not my home town team but I for one applaud them for their bold step and look forward to getting to some of the games next season as it's something new for the area and quite exciting. I don't think I'll be the only one who is curious to see how it goes and it might just add some numbers through the gate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
