Westhamich Albion Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Should've called yourselves the Auld Alliance FC. Will be interesting to see where this team goes, but 'Caledonian Braves' sounds like the most foreign idea of what a Scottish sports team would be named.A large proportion of members are from overseas....! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westhamich Albion Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 There was a dozen or more French players that played in the first team last season and there is a section on the website in French. There was a mixture last season of academy players and Scottish lads. Primarily Scottish players signed for the first team this year but will be no doubt supplemented by the academy players. Would assume the south of Scotland (reserve) team will have more of the french academy lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougir Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Does it really matter if the players come from France or Bellshill? This might not be a traditional club, but they should be saluted for the work. Also it would be good to lose the vaguely racist tone of a couple posters, in regards to France. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 They've set up their new twitter for Caledonian Braves https://twitter.com/JoinTheBrave/ Which also shows what i'm assuming to be the new club badge which erases all the Edusport Academy history by saying they were established in 2019 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I've parked up for tonight's opening home game v Gretna, and about to go for a wander around Strathclyde Park.First impressions are the stadium is very smart, but the noise from the motorway is absolutley incessant. It is rush hour so that will hopefully be less of a din by kick off.They have fenced off most of the ground so you will be able to access the standside up to the stand only, and behind half of one goal only. Meaning at least half of the perimeter is out of bounds.Burger Van parked out front and I can confirm the guy is industriously cleaning it right now. Floodlights working, PA system working, looks like they're all set to go. They have put their "Brave" branding all over the place but I found one stray Edusport image in the car park! Easy cut through from the car park to the Toby Carvery if you like jugs of gravy before the football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry’s Toffee Knees Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Looks as if they have worked hard to get things done. Sure they would have preferred a Saturday for their first new home game, but hey ho. Perhaps this thread could now be renamed, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly seem to have got rid of the Frenchmen at 1st team level - 100% Scots among the named players in both LL games thus far. Last season was heavily weighted towards Scots anyway but the defence was pretty much French. Very young team though - only 4 players 23+. David Winters helps raise the average though and I see Simon Mensing was named for the 2nd string. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards the end of last season a few lads from the U20 and amateur side did get a run-out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
