LongTimeLurker Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Definitely seemed weird that the Bens weren't part of the mix and think this was always a Glasgow team using Upper Annandale as a flag of convenience? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't be further from the truth, Longtimelurker People will always make up their own minds even if the truth is right in front of them. I know for a FACT the Bens never used Upper Annadale, it was Annadale who wanted to use the Bens park and negotiated a deal to hire the park for the development league on Friday evenings. Your not from the area, well I don't think you are, I don't expect you to know the workings of the Bens and how they have been operating. if you did you would then know the bens did not use the Upper as a flag of convenience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it became known that Upper Annandale had a development team playing out of New Tinto Park there was a rumour that an unknown'youth club from the Glasgow area were using the Upper Annandale name to access the Lowland Development League. Since it seems strange for a team from the D&G area to have their u20s operate in Glasgow. The rumour had nothing to do with Benburb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I get ya I still would find this funny that a youth team is using the senior team for the youth team to operate under their name in a different area. The first team of every development squad, remember can fold the team at any time and every first team is to take responsibility of the development team so I find that a bit hard to take in. if that was true then Upper Annadale are very guidable indeed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 @Bestsinceslicebread this was the best explanation I ever saw how it came to be: On 28/06/2019 at 23:20, Brother Grimm said: The Upper Annandale thing is bizarre, the club previously played as Queen of the South Colts in one of the West youth leagues and now have changed to Uppers. They were called something else before the name change to Queens as well, Queens signed one boy from them and he didn’t last long and now plays for Stirling Uni I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the list on wikipedia taken from this article http://www.youthfootballscotland.co.uk/component/k2/item/21225-lowlands-development-teams-confirmed-as-league-set-up-is-revealed.html which either has been given a list from the league or just worked out who has been accepted from public statements of those who applied. Looks correct though. The article also mentions this: "There will be two league conferences in the East, with a 16-14 split, and three conferences in the West, with a split of 14-12-12." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its just as i have not had enough coffee yet this morning, but that article seems to be all over the place and get confused between the LL development league, the main LL League, where the WoSFL league fits into that in the pyramid, implies that the LL development league in itself will be a tier in the pyramid, and refers to the LL development league as "new" which as we know its not.
