Not sure if they'll challenge for promotion, depends what league they end up in but they won't be cannon fodder in a first division when they are coming from Caley Premier League Don't think the will be cannon fodder , dont see them challenging for promotion either though. Granted only seen them a couple of times but they were mediocre at best in they performances. A club like that will never fold losing 1 player spot on with that.

NewBallsPlease Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 My post about Gartcosh possibly wasn't as clear as it should be. I'm not suggesting that losing their keeper will see them fold. They are brutal and just a gang. They won't compete as a football team in the CSAFL, they'll be involved in battles every other week and it will be their demise.A real shame because they are a decent Club with a good committee but they've made a big mistake with their coaching appointments and by bowing to their demand of a move to the CSAFL.

Who's the new manager? Don't understand your assertion that moving to The Central will be their demise. The Caley Premier is stronger than the Central 1st Division especially with Southside moving out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowing to what demand? Is it not just simple Gartcosh wanted a new challenge! Something to freshen things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosher135 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 We are all looking forward to the challenge the central league will bring , and are happy to announce our goalie (monk) is going nowhere and has signed again for us for the forthcoming season .

DavieGee16 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Looks like loads of leagues are getting smaller and some of them probably coming to an end. Amateur football clearly ain't what it used to be. Why do we think this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too many clubs for a region so small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we think this is? Players just aren't as keen as they use to be, the younger generation would rather get pished all weekend than play, the slightly older ones have families plus work commitments plus the fact it's corrupt as f**k, teams can deny it all they like but more and more paying players now than ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However why would any team allegedly pay players and what would they gain out of it and who has this so called endless pot of money just to give to guys for playing amateur football. I actually just don't see it happening. Senior clubs are struggling to generate any source of income to pay players a wage never mind amateur teams. I don't think it happens.

dumbarton82 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 It is becoming to common now for teams to fold. Will be a ton of reasons for it. From personal experience it was solely down to work commitments that I had to give up at 25. Regret doing it now and wish I had found way to carry on.

stanley Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 How many Saturday amateur leagues are left? I know the Dumfries & Galloway one finished a few years ago and seems like there's a real decline in general now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
