Yes, the league will be a lot weaker without the team currently sitting bottom with 9 points and 2 wins from 14 games.

Didn't they finish well above Whitburn last season in the Premier?

These were all from before the Glenrothes announcement. Certainly seems like Thornton might miss them giving the fun they're having at their expense.

Was that a subliminal message?

20s would be signed to the parent side,  unlike now where they are separate entities (with a shared name) and player movement between teams having to be done on a delayed transfer basis.

Yes agreed but junior teams can't do this until they go senior then the correct paperwork submissions etc... for their development team to evolve and start in the development leagues.
There are a lot of academics the now and all at different levels, and with success rate.
 
There are academies operating the now but most teams in the academy are just sperate entity teams with lots of coaches thinking the team is their baby and they run it how they see fit.  Obviously, the academy will have to change and adapt once their parent first team join the seniors

The club's EoS youth development plans will enhance Glenrothes progression as a senior club. 

Yeah that's good to know
 
I don't get why people on here are slagging Glenrothes because they are bottom and they intend to apply to go to the senior ranks.
They may have investment waiting if they go senior, no one on here knows so they might have funds to go to a higher level than they are already at.
 
Hurlford was bottom of the olde Ayrshire second division for 7 seasons I think, then all of a sudden, people came in with big money and they progressed to a higher level in the junior ranks, the same could happen to any team in the junior ranks, North, East, West associations, especially if they join the senior ranks

Well whenever I have spoken to Thornton guys they say the move away from the old Fife league was a mistake and that they need more local games. The only way that's probably going to happen next season is if they switch leagues, if the North /South super/premier proposal gets passed its going to be them and Kennoway in the South Premier. Problem they have is the park isn't enclosed, if they were applying to get into the juniors now theres no way it would pass current standards.
That's surprising and interesting

Thornton joined the juniors in the 1930's, ground standards were different, grounds didn't have to be enclosed like they are now, half the Perth teams played on the Inches for example. Thornton play in a public park, anyone can watch them.
Ok thanks for clearing that up[emoji106]

Possibly being wooshed but it's because the train station (in Thornton) is called Glenrothes with Thornton despite being nowhere near Glenrothes (which has 2 train stations near it - the other is Markinch - but none in the new town itself). [/Portillo]

Think I'm on the 0.1 out of 10 on the rage. I've heard malow is a a bit babyish on being wound up.

I would agree with you there Talbot :D. He certainly is mate petted lip out just randomly red dotting everything in a silent rage :lol:

Inverkeithing get by with the orange mesh fencing around their running track. No reason why Thornton can't do the same whilst working on something more permanent.

Coldstream have made ground developments in recent years, sufficient to be licensed, despite  playing in a public park.  Peebles Rovers, longstanding EoS members, also play in a public park. 

Hence, no reason for Thornton to be rejected by the EoS.
