Orkney copy Fort William by being unable to raise a team, for Golspie away in their case.

I’m seeing a few comments on Facebook just now about weather modifiction and ‘geoengineered weather’. I suspect it’s cause it’s been raining so often in Scotland.
What’s that all about?
Part of me wishes it was true. Then there would be a solution; kill the c***s.

Hunt describing Wragg as ‘courageous’ really is deflection that the MSM are only to happy to run with.
Aye, he only fessed up after the Times doorstepped him about it.

The SNP / Independence movement after the Salmond years has been a joke.
Lots of happy clappers sipping the kool-aid of mammy Sturgeon, believing she had a secret master plan that would outfox those dastardly Westminster Tories.
There will still be more SNP MPs after the next general election under Humza Yousaf than there ever were under cuddles Salmond.

I got an email from DB yesterday that looked like your standard promotional bumf, but when I translated it said that they were going to close down my account unless I logged in. Just a heads up, I just logged in and checked my reservations were still there.

These are being transported from Blenheim Palace to Normandy for some anniversary shite.
A similar display last year somewhere was visited by 10,000 people raising £25k for the poppiesz
£2.50 a head for are ladz. Minter.
Quite a wee business they've got going there, silhouettes for every occasion. Bit creepy mind.

Shed load of rain predicted tomorrow on top of already saturated ground, so not particularly hopeful for a game this coming Saturday.
At least I get a Wimpy if the Broch V Brechin game is somehow called off at 2:15.
It's usually the wind that does for games at Fraserburgh, spent nearly 5 hours getting there by train and bus one year and it was called off at 2.50.

The main problem is the HL's hard on for cup competitions (there is absolutely zero need for both the Aberdeenshire Shield and Aberdeenshire Cup anyway, get rid of one of them) and them taking priority over the league fixtures getting played. All available midweeks before the clocks go back at the end of October should have league fixtures prioritised so the season can be more advanced before the postponement bonanza from November to March.
It also means clubs who need 3/4G pitches (Buckie, Brora, Strathspey etc) aren't having to play 7 games in 3 weeks as we move into the spring.
Agree with most of that but Buckie and Brora have drained fine up until this season and just need a serious bit of work over the summer. Strathspey and Keith could probably do with plastic though.

Needing some help/guidance about the match day tickets, I bought three for me and three for my pal (who couldn't access a computer at the time), they are all in my ticket portal, It looks like they will all come to my email address which would mean both tickets on the one phone, I was hoping that I could have his sent to his email, any idea how I would go about this????

It's from a press release by some branding PR consultancy, and the full picture is far more mixed than the Daily Express presented it.

Seems some Israelis have taken against TVP, a Polish English language TV channel that interviewed their Ambassador.
Apart from accusing Poles who protested Israel's behaviour in Gaza of being anti-semites, he three times refused to answer whether the IDF would have bombed the convoy if they thought there might have been someone they suspected of being linked to Hamas onboard. That's what I think probably happened, collateral damage is no longer part of their calculations.

Does anyone know why religious views are ‘protected’ by this Act yet political views are not?
Religion is often used as code for race, so Muslim is often used interchangeably with South Asian. You often get racists claiming they can't be because Islam/Judaism/Catholicism isn't a race. Political opinion isn't used the same way.
P.S. The Act specifically rules out criticism of religious ideas and practices as an offence, it also abolishes the offense of blasphemy.

That all costs money, which clubs may not have, also it's highly unusual for a period of rain like this, so hopefully this may be a one off.

To be fair to them how often does a game get called off in April due to a waterlogged pitchI get that, but the reason for the backlog of games is because these specific clubs have been postponing games all season when in previous seasons they wouldn't have needed to.*
*except for Keith, they've always had trouble..

Brora v Vale moved to Golspie
Buckie v Strathspey postponed
Forres v Wick postponed
Keith v Brechin
1.30 pitch inspectionpostponedAll due to waterlogged pitches. All 4 clubs need to get serious in the summer about sorting the drainage out, this season has been embarrassing. Brora, Buckie and Forres have been some of the more reliable grounds till this year.

Easter is unusually early this year, and for many years NCL has always ended in mid-April... league wasn't extended, and as you say it's not a recently rearranged game. Looks more like Fort just couldn't raise an XI on a holiday weekend.
The clubs had 2 fewer fixtures this year and Fort William would have finished their fixtures by March 23rd if the Halkirk game hadn't been postponed. It's poor that they couldn't raise a team despite having reserves available, and it was daft to book holidays so soon after the scheduled season given our weather, but plenty other teams have struggled for players at the end or beginning of the season, particularly before the end of the Summer amateur leagues which are more popular than the North Caley in some parts of the region. The difference is they always manage to put some kind of team together, I hope and expect Fort William will start next season with serious negative points, it's not like they had an outbreak of the plague.

I’ve not been able to find hard figures but there have been a number of references to the fact that trading has been at a very low volume. It seems to have been mainly speculators buying then cashing in.
Average daily number of shares traded has been 6.74 million, total number of shares being around 112 million. They only went public last week so I don't really know what that means. I agree that nearly all the volatility will be down to speculators, the mad trumpets responsible for the massive over valuation of the failing company won't be selling.

Early indications of today's trading would suggest that the share price has hit its floor pending more shares coming on the market, hovering around the $50 mark after peaking at $79.38 last week.
