Could be yet another ruling that gets made up though hasn't been a problem in the past but then again in the past there hasn't been any promotion to the SPFL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just yoursels the likes of edusport as well or is this another loophole the powers that be at LL towers haven't looked into.... Not too sure what Selkirks demise has to do with ground sharing? We currently play at an SPFL venue as does Edusport. So why wouldn't SPFL football be guaranteed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Macguire Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 56 minutes ago, come on shire said: I was at a Glasgow Warriors supporters event (I'm a season ticket holder) and noticed when we were leaving that BSC were training on the main side pitch. I can understand why it must be so frustrating to be connected with BSC but playing at Alloa. So, If Scotstoun isn't an option then why not just ring-fence the main side pitch then 'voila'... We did look at that but it came with strings attached that would have made it unworkable. The SFA Licencing Committee would never have sanctioned it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was confusion then. Yous are missing my point Just saying there may be confusion regarding groundshsharing with SPFL clubs. At present I don't think any SPFL clubs share? Surely the SPFL will need to know what ground you or anyone at that are using. Your post previously stated there's a closely guarded secret as if yer gonnae pull a rabbit oot the hat. Canny see a problem wi an SPFL groundshare but the SPFL are hardly helping the LL at present wi only one promotion and the difficulty of 4 game play offs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've not had a thorough look, but groundsharing looks to be allowed. I'm sure any candidate club will ensure to meet the specific requirements to allow it to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimmo's Notes Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've nothing against BSC and they have a solid squad of players but my point is, should they not be building solid foundations first, before flinging money at top players? It would be fantastic to see BSC getting a ground in their local area and attracting local support to give them a base to work from. The worry is that one day those businessmen won't have the cash to put into the side. It would be like the programme I watched last night about the RBS, how they became the biggest bank in the world but didn't have any spare cash......and then the financial collapse occurred. I don't know the ins and outs, however, I'm sure there will be a plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Seeing as BSC are an extension, of a sort, to the youth club... how many of their current squad/first team have came through their own youth system? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the current squad we have 2 players from our under 20s. In the 3 seasons we’ve had an under 20s squad another 5 or 6 players have been given the opportunity before moving on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlansHotBath Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I know it can difficult to judge in one game, but how did Bonnyrigg stand up against the usual LL opponents? Looks like they will be one of the favourites to come up this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
