Presumably they mean getting the ground licensed so they can play LL games there?

Not sure tbh - it is just a cage just now and also owned by North Lanarkshire Council going by signage. The picture suggests buildings are going inside the perimeter, whereas the changing rooms just now are outwith, They've never been about people watching them so moving from Annan may not be connected to this?

By calling it their home ground for the 2019-20 season they must be trying to get up to standard for licensing.

Looks like it, as they applied for planning permission to add dugouts and two seated stands - doubt they are just for their U20s to use. There's also a building warrant for the pavilion - "Alteration to Changing Pavilion - Reconfiguration of Layout and Provision of Accessible Facilities".

So it's been pointed out in the Berwick Rangers thread that the Glasgow United plan has been scrapped.

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:

  1. Alliance FC
  2. Black Falcons
  3. Caledonian Braves
  4. Copa FC
  5. Edusport Eagles
  6. Edusport Pheonix*
  7. FC Tribe
  8. FC Spero
  9. Pheonix FC*
  10. Lanarkshire Lynx
  11. Mondial FC
  12. Sporting Union FC
  13. 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.

to repeat my shite joke Hamilton Educational or bust. Those names though are chronic and feel like something out of American Sports. Lanarkshire Lynx is the one that'd be the best move as it has geography in it therefore helps in attracting a supporter base.

Had to actually watch the video to realise these are genuine names they are proposing and not a list you've posted to take the piss.

They are all absolutely terrible in there own way.

Some delightfully embarrassing stuff in there. FC Venom sounds like a team of football playing baddies from a kids cartoon. Personally I'd go for the one that's misspelled.

Has there been any word from someone who bought shares in the club on how fucking stupid this whole thing is?

Must be doing alright somewhere though. This'll be worth a few quid. Very few teams have their own transport  ?

As horrific as they all sound to us, the old skool, we have all had our doubts (digs) at their lack of support and presence as a club. So why not go for a cheesy/catchy name to attract new support, even if it is all just a marketing gimmick...as long as it puts a few bums on seats, extra pennies and a sense of belonging for them.

It might all go tits up, but don’t knock them for doing something different, they might be on to something!

Having no fans >>>> having 'fans' who are attracted to watching Caledonian brave.

From the Berwick thread...

“Although they're going to be at Bothwellhaugh Park, they could be inspired by nearby Chatelherault in tribute to their origins!”

On this subject, does anyone actually know who the last team to play at Bothwellhaugh? There is a “football ground” marked in old maps but no mention of who...

I'm thinking maybe the Palace Colliery team... maybe Bellshill at some point (Douglas Park?)
