  1. Groundsharing ?- don't really have a problem with it. There are plenty of examples of where it has worked without too much of an issue. Certainly none that couldn't be overcome with a bit of goodwill on both sides. I can't believe you are seriously comparing what is suitable for the top flight leagues around the world with what clubs deem suitable for the fifth, sixth and lower tiers of Scottish football. To consider both Gala & Gretna as cage type grounds simply because they have a 4G or 3G pitch is not living in the real world.
  2. This is just a mishmash list that makes no sense in the real world !! No way is this a list of teams who play in cages. It has a small number of accurate info, total fabrications, prejudice against teams who share and also prejudice against plastic pitches. Gala, Gretna and Edinburgh uni not a cage in sight University of Stirling share with Stirling Albion & Cumbernald colts - they both rent Against the B teams - I get that prejudice but again, not a cage in sight I think this is simply spewing false bile for the sake of trying to make a point - I have no issue with that - if facts were used !!!
  3. That's been the working conditions of a train driver for a very very long time indeed. My faither was a train driver and it like that for him - and he retired 28years ago !!
  4. I have to say I find it amusing that the there is this notion that the LL is blocking promotion from the lower tiers. Since the Lowland league comprises the members within it, of course each and every one of its members will look out for what is best for themselves. Every single time. Just like every other club in this pyramid - from top to bottom. We only need to look at the recent attempt to foist a conference into the pyramid. Is anybody gonna claim that was not done to suit the wishes of certain clubs ??? Right now change is all just wishful thinking. Until the majority of LL members vote for change then that all it can be. For the absence of doubt - I am also firmly in favour of more relegation and promotion to and from the lower leagues.
  5. Tut Tut Tut Mr H !!! I have great difficulty dealing with the scenario where someone who decamped (maybe deported ?) from Cumbernauld and is now attempting to apply entry restrictions on anyone that wants to come to the lovely area that is D & G ! Lets be honest here - the bar has been set fairly low already with your acceptance !!
  6. What have Threave done to you that you need to be so disparaging about them ???? I agree about their great facilities, they are just what is needed and am sure provides a regular welcome boost to their coffers. I have been there quite a few times, from even before they upgraded their social club. and their committee has to commended for the way they run their club for the benefit of the community.
  7. We have constantly been told that any change to the HL/LL/club 42 playoff required the agreement of the 4 parties involved. Namely SFA, SPFL, HL, LL. So I would presume that if the HL or LL did not accept any change, how could a conference playoff be introduced ??
  8. I agree that the only other way for the conference to be killed is if enough vote against it at the AGM. I have no idea regarding Gretna's intentions on this matter.
  9. We can moan about the conference league all we want. We can demand that both the LL & HL have nothing to do with this league. And if that happened then the conference would be strangled at birth. The next obvious step would be for the SFA to then invite teams to join the conference. Would all clubs decline that invitation?? – not a hope in hell!! I am sure enough of them would jump at the chance. This is the reality of the situation we are now faced with.
  10. Having driven both the A71 & the A75 on a regular basis in recent times - give me the A75 any day of the week !!
  11. Gretna 2008 must be a bit of anomaly then, if what you said in bold is correct. Gretna 2008 have never played in the SOS league. Their application to join was rejected. That is why they played in the EoSFL and are still members of the EoSFA.
  12. On the website this morning https://slfl.co.uk/lowland-league-cup/
  13. Not quite right I am afraid. You can sign up to get email notifications from the LL, as I did a long time ago, and I received all the cup draw details earlier this morning.
  14. My main issue that I have with your one person crusade, as you chew on that bone - is that it's no' your bone in the first place ! That bone belongs tae all the teams in the SOS league, its fur them alone tae chew on, fur them decide their league future and fur them tae admit or reject anyone that applies ! It's not fur anyone tae tell them whit tae dae - unless it's the SFA !!
