GNU_Linux Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Also with Tweedmouth & Eyemouth recruitment is difficult owing to geography, egg chasing being the dominant code in the Borders & finances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many pub teams training at the Oriam indoor pitch. Other team kilbowiebenches mentioned was Tweedmouth. Its fair to say they struggled last season and early this season but results are steadily improving and not many pub teams are preparing for new facilities like Tweedmouth are. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2052994841534688&id=113939345440257 Tweedmouth guys deserve a lot of credit for getting on with it after the rug was pulled from underneath them by Berwick Rangers just before the season started. As you say, them and Eyemouth and the other original EoS clubs deserve much credit for dealing with the "influx" of clubs and the sometimes harsh results that comes with it, but things will settle down again and they'll be in a much better place for it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Breadalbane FC (Aberfeldy) Are they seriously looking at either going junior or senior? Would be a guid day oot and a new frontier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they applied to the ERJFA a few seasons ago but got knocked back, apparently on facilities; although having been to Home Street, it certainly doesn't look far off, if at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume the floodlights requirement would scupper their licence application but their ground should be fine for the ERJFA. And if the best Tayside juniors joined with the top north sides, some more clubs would be no doubt be welcome so there's enough teams for a good Tayside division below.

A decade ago, it was rumoured that Alness United's application to join the Juniors, was also rejected by the SJFA and/or the NRJFA because of the club's geographical location. A club north of Inverness ? It's too far to travel ! AU is currently a well established NCL club, which also has an excellent development XI playing in the Highland Youth League.

So what if they get beat, lot of decent people involved in that club who opened their league up to bigger clubs in the spirit of openness and inclusivity. It was Burnieman that called the clubs that had applied for the ERJFA pub teams ffs Try and read posts in their proper context before spouting pish. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
