HibeeJibee Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) If pedantry's being deployed... Dundee is in the county of Angus - previously known as Forfarshire. It isn't in the unitary authority of Angus - but that isn't a county. Dundee was for a period its own 'city county'. Between 1975 and 1996 Angus and Dundee were, with Perth-Kinross, districts of the Tayside region. If you want to put a football spin on it the Dundee clubs play in the Forfarshire Cup.

YupDundee isn't in the council area of Angus but it's in the county, well the old one, doesn't belong to a new one either, it's just Dundee City, a council area now. So technically not wrong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that was only a supplementary point. In any case St Johnstone have only joined the Forfarshire Cup comparatively recently - for most of history they played in the Perthshire Cup (or in a separate tie against the Perthshire Cup winner, to avoid a series of gubbings, to decide Dewar Shield entry). Similar situation with Alloa and Dumbaton in the Stirlingshire Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Dumbarton are in the North but surely that's a step too far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOFOREVER Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Arbmonforchin United has a certain ring to it maybe? Just think, if we merged a lot of clubs who are close together we could reduce the number of SPFL clubs considerably and maybe Berwick would then have to be in the Premier League 'cos there's nobody close enough for them to merge with unless they go the other way and merge with Blyth Spartans. Maybe Airdrie and Albion Rovers merger? Motherwell and Hamilton? Clyde and their good friends QP (well they used to be very close and obviously still get on well with each other!) Any more candidates? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 We're thinking about this all too literally and geographically. Have to think outside the box. We could merge with Rangers, Brora, Cove, Cambuslang, Kilsyth, Kilwinning, Arniston and Tweedmouth to form the super-team Rangers United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLADES MAN Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Instead of merging clubs, why not get rid of the ones who have been in administration? That would please Ann Budge and get rid of a fair few clubs. Next get rid of the ones who are not in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this thinking outside the box as an opportunity of Angus United getting shot of Brechin and having them , Elgin and Edinburgh (thus putting them out of their misery) forming a Shitty City outfit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Straight forward lucky draw. All names in the hat and alternate between "in" and "out" of the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
