But it's still up there and I'm sure all things aside if it came down it, you wouldn't be upset winning it
If we were interested in it we’d have entered.
We’re not in it because we don’t want anything to do with the SJFA.We’ve moved on.

What does that say for the Strathclyde Demolition Cup?
It’s not claiming to be a national competition which the Junior Cup certainly isn’t.

Yep-I think that the easiest decision for the SJFA here is to put both clubs out as there is no way even with video evidence they will spend time working out who did what first and to whom with a view to establishing who behaved the worst!
Mickey Mouse tournament that needs put to sleep.
It’s just another West Cup(with some missing) a few tayside clubs and North diddies.It’s hardly a national competition now.

Thats unlikely given the game v Dalkeith had a bigger crowd but I've no idea how that's relevant to your argument with Bankies Alive
Just ignore the Junior diddies Bill.

Ah I see. Bit of a joke club in all honesty.
They want progression but can't be arsed to build it on solid foundations like having a home in the area they come from.
They did enquire about land in Victoria Park beside Broomhill but AFAIK they got knocked back.There was opposition and there were people who wanted to turn the land into an orchard

what's the script with Broomhill being at Alloa?
there are umpteen examples of successful ground-shares in the greater Glasgow area but they end up in Alloa rather than secure something closer to home.
It’s because of the requirement for them to play at a licensed ground.If they were relegated I’m sure they’d get a ground share somewhere nearer.

Yeah, I'm surprised at @craigkillie take on them being a different club. It makes no sense to me. As far as I can recall they have always purported to be the same club. The only difference between them and Clyde was Clyde didn't change name when they moved to Cumbernauld (and that Meadowbank moved directly to Livingston without bouncing around a few years of shared grounds first). They are the same company, retained Meadowbank's membership of the SFL, didn't go bust first, retained some or all of the same directors, staff and players, etc. I'm not aware of any conscious effort to shake off Meadowbank or Ferranti's history either unlike both Airdrie and Gretna 2008. Far closer to the Clyde case than Airdrie / Clydebank where a bankruptcy and an absolute change of everything involved with the club ensued. Even that one is technically the same club but from a practical point of view it makes sense to count it as a different one.
There was no bankruptcy or liquidation involved with us.League membership was transferred and everything else was given back to the supporters trust.The gap was only because it happened so close to the start of the season that we had nowhere to play!!

Cracking day for us on Saturday beating Dalkeith 7-0 in front of 820 paying fans.
Decent draw getting Elgin at home even though we’ll be underdogs.
Didn’t fancy playing you anyway,you’re going too well!!

Huge day for us at the Bankies tomorrow when we take on Dalkeith in the 1st Round of the Scottish Cup.
One step closer to the return of our local derby hopefully

To fill the void where the earlier excitement was, let's discuss the fact that this cup is happening at all, at least this season. Surely something could have been done about alleviating the pressure on some Premier clubs. For example, Hurlford and Glenafton have been drawn in a prelim round when they are involved in the Scottish Junior Cup as well. And before someone (probably from Clydebank) pipes up with "That's their choice. The Joonyurs are died!", it wasn't their choice to be involved in a 38 match league.
At least until this horrendous season of fixtures is out the way, this cup could/should have been either scrapped, seeded or just played out within the Conference clubs. The fact that sponsorship has been allocated should mean the latter would have been the best option. With all due respect, this is the least of the cup competitions in kudos and, I suspect, could be seen far enough by most Premier Clubs. At a quick calculation, Talbot could potentially be involved in 56 competitive matches this season and that's before counting the William Hill Scottish Cup. All this from semi professional lads who have day jobs. Crazy stuff.
This is an SFA registered cup competition now,it can’t just be scrapped! It’s mandatory for WoSFL clubs to play in it.
If clubs want to play in other optional minor cup competitions then they can’t complain about fixture congestion.

Why not bring in professional to do the twitter account and website rather than a committee guy at a conference team. We are after all in a bright new era of pyramid football.
Why don’t you volunteer to do it?
You’ve obviously got a lot of time on your hands as you’re never off of here.

Just popping in before I forget to wish the Bankies good luck for the Scottish Cup tie which is this weekend if I'm not mistaken?
It'd be great to get through to draw a match against us (Dumbarton) in the next rounds.
Yes,this Saturday home to Dalkeith.
Would love to have the Sons visit us in a competitive fixture.
A lot of hard work has gone into making this happen,it’s been a long journey but The Bankies are back!0

Some people need to lighten up.
