This is the league we are in though…. We are a long way off even competing with the top half teams at the moment.

In all honesty we are a lowland league club. I don’t see us returning to the top 4 leagues any time soon, if ever. But it would be stupid to vote in favour of an additional league between us and league 2. That league will only make a poor pyramid system even worse.

From what I got tonight. There was a lot of uncertainty about how this new tier 5 would work. If implemented this year there was no guarantee lowland/highland clubs would have a way into it. voting to keep the B teams gives lowland league clubs another year to work this out. From the way the board spoke tonight they definitely aren’t fans of the B sides.

They mentioned they voted in favour of the B teams. From what the club described tonight it was either a case of vote against them and the spfl add the conference above lowland/highland now or keep B teams where they are for a season and delay this conference league. I think they mentioned 12 lowland teams voted in favour of keeping them.

Was at the meeting and it seemed pretty positive. The supporters trust makes sense and if successful you’d hope it would keep the club running at this level for the very least. For those asking on number probably around 40 including those on zoom. I’m sceptical it will be enough for a push back to league 2 or whatever league will be above this one next season. But it’s probably needed to make sure we have a team that can be competitive in any way next season. The next appointment of manager will be huge in getting people on board with this idea. going by the boards target we’ll need around 100 people to get involved.

Yeah just had a look and it was a very young Hearts side. We definitely looked a bit better than my last time watching but not sure how much of that is down to the opposition.

Not been in a while but decided to take this one. Mistake as it was freezing! thought the team put a good shift in the first half! Worked hard to put the Hearts back line under pressure but didn’t have the quality to put away the chances we got from it. Think we missed two 1 on 1s without hitting the target. was told the free kick to win it was a piece of quality but I missed it. Was good to see the lads get the points But not sure how strong that Hearts side is so can’t really judge much from it myself. also enjoyed finding out we now have “ultras” even if it’s just a rangers songbook with cowden added in

I’ll be honest I didn’t even know this cup was a thing until the club announced who they were playing!

You are spot on. I’ve not been for a while but crowds were definitely down from last season. at this point I’d be surprised to see us last more than 2/3 years

I wouldn’t say we’ll be relegated but if Ross stays I don’t see us moving much higher. We’ll sit in this 16th -12th position. The reality is the longer we sit like that the more chance of people not going. I’ve not been since Bo’ness away and others will be in a similar position. The football is poor, the league is boring. So there’s not much pull for those who have left to go back.

I think a big part of it is the league we are in. You put together a few wins and it doesn’t change anything. There’s very little to play for in this league unless you are at the top end of it. A lot of the fans I have spoken to haven’t been back since we went down. The initial novelty of playing different teams has worn off and most people can see the lowland league is boring.

I caught the first few of Bisland’s games and he looked nowhere near ready for this level. I’m sure Osborne was part of the early signings when we were announcing players every night. Was probably the worst of the bunch. glad to see the club moving them on quickly, hope they have players lined up to replace and improve on the squad.

Ah fair enough! Ref was hopeless the other night tbf

I thought he was shouting to our player? I heard him shouting “Andy” when he said that

I always thought it was a little bit more than that but you are right. Whatever we get this season we get half for next year.
