You mean 1,258 right? (I am being whooshed here amn't I?)

Decent chance there will never be another Fort William match played there.

Where will we finish? 5th. Who will be our POTY? Shankland - until he leaves Who will be the young POTY? Chalmers Who will dissappear never to be seen again? Connolly The biggest disappointment? When Shankland leaves in January for £750k to a Forest or QPR type Biggest surprise? Tam Courts is actually a very good coach.

I mean as much as he is a Tory (and his political views are reprehensible), he was elected by people of Moray in Scotland.

It's something United have done for the last few seasons (since Robbie came in at least) and because it worked in 2019-20 with United making a good start to the league campaign, I think the club are just happy to continue doing it.

Its been discussed multiple times on here that it doesn't, but okay.

Just the Junior FA website I think, which isn't great either. Even the fixture list on SJFA website was really hard to read when first posted. Glad websites like Scottish Football Fixs exist. The whole build up to the League has been very poor imo, no dedicated social media accounts AFAIA and little in Tayside press as well. The East Region Twitter account didn't even post the results until 9pm. Chalk and Cheese compared to the WoSFL launch last season. Even the SoS and North Caley - which are much smaller leagues have done a better job on social media in promoting their divisions. I do think they missed a trick as well by allowing the games to be 2:30pm kick-offs as well and not 1pm for the opening weekend, as they are clashing with the League Cup games which probably put a few United, Arbroath, Brechin and Forfar fans off of watching their local non-league team and either gone to their club's game or watched a stream instead.

So what was the point in building a squad then? It's like the opposite of Kenny Miller at Livi

Just my opinion but I can't see them being any better than 5th or 6th tbh but they'll be top half imho, think they just need a season to re-adjust. I'm sure a bunch of Brechin fans will know better than me. Happy to be proven wrong.

Think a general thread of the HL Chatter is probably needed The League gets underway on 24th July with an 18 team division for the first time in a couple of seasons since Cove's promotion in 2019. Last season's winners Brora Rangers will be looking to continue their dominance of the the division, whilst Fraserburgh, Inverurie Loco Works and Formartine United will be challenging at the top end of the division. Brechin City have signed a number of ex-SPFL players as they look to bounce straight back into League 2, but probably will be in for an upper mid-table finish. At the bottom end of the table, perennial whipping boys Fort William will need to improve this season in order to avoid a dreaded relegation playoff against a Tier 6 side with any one of Clachnacuddin, Strathspey Thistle, Lossiemouth and Turriff United having to be careful that they don't find themselves near the bottom of the division. Opening Weekend Fixtures: Brechin City vs Turriff United Buckie Thistle vs Lossiemouth Deveronvale vs Brora Rangers Forres Mechanics vs Wick Academy Fraserburgh vs Formartine United Huntly vs Strathspey Thistle Inverurie Loco Works vs Clachnacuddin Keith vs Nairn County Rothes vs Fort William

11 Holograms would have been better than the 2020-21 Hamilton Accies side tbf

Emma Hayes is an excellent co-comms - she's talking about why something is happening on the park, not what is happening. The role of co-comms is to analyse and tell us something we don't already know. Funnily enough, I thought the two games yesterday were arguably the best commentated of the tournament, obviously it helps when you get two instant classics.

Not one ad but the fact Cantona is getting his face on loads of them right now is starting to grate with me

Surely it would be Team Skye?!
