cmontheloknow Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I see that Newburgh Thistle from the North Region have changed their name once again, reverting back to an old one (but still playing in Newburgh) - they must have the Guinness world record for most name changes in shortest period of time...? I Wilson's XI (2000-2006) Hillhead (Hillhead (2006-2011) Bridge of Don Thistle (2011-2016) Newburgh Thistle (2016-2018) Bridge of Don Thistle (2018- ?)

I was checking to see if they would be a Division One or Two team next year with reorganisation of the North Region. Hadn't realised they're in the Superleague.

Hadn't realised they're in the Superleague. They very nearly weren't - beat Sunnybank on pens in the play off to stay up. They have been in the upper division more often than not though in recent times. Also won the McLeman Cup this year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 They were Wilsons XI long before 2000, they were called that when I lived in Aberdeen and that was 19canteen (although they were Ams back then) - they've been dead to me since they ditched the Wilsons name.

Yeah only went from Juniors times in terms of timeline. I never had a formation date even back on NLS days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yeah only went from Juniors times in terms of timeline. I never had a formation date even back on NLS days. According to wikipedia it's 1983. NLS has the same date also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Makes sense. I was up in Newburgh at the beginning of last season and caught a game there. It's a well-to-do commuter village a good bit out of Aberdeen - it's not exactly ever going to be primo Junior territory. Maybe 25-30 through the gate on a blazing hot day, and the majority of those seemed to be there following Stonehaven who were the visitors.

Cyclizine Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Quote I'd've thought they could've come up with a new name, I mean, ASV isn't even in Bridge of Don... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
