This was from the 15th April and the deadline to vote was noted as tomorrow (April 16th), so presumably we'll find out the new name soon. The choices listed in the video are: Alliance FC Black Falcons Caledonian Braves Copa FC Edusport Eagles Edusport Pheonix* FC Tribe FC Spero Pheonix FC* Lanarkshire Lynx Mondial FC Sporting Union FC FC Venom Not sure if there was also a write in option, but i'm guessing that's how they got come of those names in the first place. *That's how the video spells Phoenix. Let's see if they can do better than this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag Nation Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I've no connection to BSC, and no axe to grind. They seem to have broken no rules. Last time I looked, they were second in the legaue, ahead of long-established "real" clubs like East Stirlingshire, Bonnyrigg and Berwick. Do I detect the faint whiff of sour grapes? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born To Run Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 There’s a lot of snobbery about us given the lack of history. Doesn’t really bother myself or anyone at the club tbh. We are where we are in the pyramid on merit and ultimately all teams will find their level as things balance out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BSC are indeed a "sham", a "disgrace" or a "Mickey Mouse club", what does that say about the 15 clubs below them? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it's the lack of history that has led to the criticism. Notice how other new clubs largely avoid it except for BSC and Caledonian Braves. The common denominator between the two now are multiple grounds in different towns and now different names in the space of 8 years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not "snobbery given lack if history", it's a bewilderment at representing no community whatsoever and an anger at being the primary club who waved in the Colts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last everyone else checked BSC finished 2020-21 in 4th. On the rules front when it comes to 'Colts' which is where some of the current negativity to BSC stems from. No rules were broken, just explicitly rewritten to allow it to happen after BSC invited them. Of course others would go on to vote for it so it's not like BSC alone get stick for that decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Prior to this summer I felt the criticism was a bit harsh. Now it’s entirely justified, there actions are purely that of sell out rats. They deserve no good will. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often defended BSC on here. I definitely won't do that anymore. Yes, you have gone by the rules, but it has become a farce now. And the behaviour of BSC & people involved in the club around the colt team saga was awful. Without BSC it's unlikely we'd have these colt teams. Now we do and that can do major long-term damage to lower league football in Scotland. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
