[emoji20]This is very sad but at least we are now seeing the true extent of the exodus. Interesting times so we shall wait and see what happens in the coming weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both 21s and U19s have played at different parks are far as im aware, mostly Donald Dewar, U21s have played at Harmony Rows ground which is down down govan, shieldhall way Edited March 5, 2019 by Bestsinceslicebread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, rushed was the wrong word, I'd say momentum is now speeding up. I believe Clydebank FC have an SFA quality mark and now the Academy is in the process of submission for a quality mark to come up to the level of Pollok soccer academy. I believe the Clydebank Academy has 9 teams of varying ages and just over 200 participants. I think all the U19s players are ages in their first year of U19s and I think the same for the U21s, most are in their first year. I know at Pollok the U19s players are in their final year so they will all move up to U21s and the U21 players which is running now are all in their first-year bar 2 players so the lok should have 2 u21 teams running next year. But the thing is as far as I'm aware any team that intends to go senior will look to have a development squad of players at U20s, so some teams could be looking to have 3 youth teams connected closely with their first team, and U19s, an U21 and a development squad. So not just Clydebank, Beith, Arthurlie, Port Glasgow etc... but all junior teams in the east and the north will probably be looking into arranging this or an academy if not already done so. This also means that if say Clydebank are in the seniors, then a first team player coming back from injury can play with the development team to get his fitness back, giving the young development players experience of playing beside seasoned pros and against seasoned pros Edited March 6, 2019 by Bestsinceslicebread 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first team to go puts you down to 16 teams in Fife a nd Lothians association if noone else goes and could more teams go.

These were all from before the Glenrothes announcement. Certainly seems like Thornton might miss them giving the fun they're having at their expense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
