Vale v Berwick Rangers attendance 151

This is definitely not a club post, whether it be fake or a fan post. Today’s game was played in a sporting fashion both on and off the pitch and the general opinion of most who attend was similar. To suggest that there is a bigotry faction within the club is total fantasy as the committee is made up of people with leanings towards Rangers, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs. The management and committee work hard for a small club like the Vale to survive and can do without this nonsense being spread about.

The Vale missing gates are as follows: Civil Service Strollers 98 Gals Fairydean 140 East Kilbride 85

Are all away teams who play at Forthbank allocated the open concourse, without heaters, to change pre/post games and at half time? I can understand not being allowed showers, but surely Active Stirling rules regarding covid are a lot stricter than other regions if this is the case. interesting to hear what teams who visited thought of it.

Post from the Vale Facebook page, good crowd expected Information……Saturday coming (6th), The BBC will be attending Victoria park to film our match vs East Stirlingshire,kick off 3pm.

To clarify the situation with the Vale, there is no chance of them folding. Club is in a fairly healthy situation with the new lights and the pitch treated to try and eliminate the drainage problems. Plus, good local sponsors. Everyone knows that the last few seasons have been hard and mistakes have been made, both on and off the park, but the committee and manager have been working hard recently behind the scenes to try and resolve the situation. The first stage in the recovery will be advertising the position of a first team coach to take charge of the team, any person with the relevant coaching badges can apply by contacting the Chairman, Stuart Robertson. The aim of the club is to start competing again in the LL for the rest of the season and hopefully getting a bit of respect back. Hopefully this explains where the club are at present, and also reassures PB members who have a soft spot for the Vale that we will still be about in future.

Well done to BSC, they might be a new club but have always been a decent side to watch in the last few seasons. They always have experienced pros and utilise them well. I’m sure that when they find a place and relocate back to the Glasgow area their fan base will improve. As for the continued snipping about them not having their own stadium, almost all the teams in the Lowland League rent/lease their stadiums. All the best for the next round, you deserve it.

Vale of Leithen does not transfer through from the LL site. The table is updated manually after every LL game that is played. The site has different categories which can be built, one being a league which is created at the start of the season in preparation of the league game commencing. Hope that helps

(Bonnyrigg Rose) Nice set up and a good attendance, will be a good addition to the LL.
