Some clubs have fans that’ll travel everywhere, others dont. tbf that's because Celtic make away fans feel about as welcome as a fox in a chicken coop so Motherwell fans tend to avoid it like the plague. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 There is as I would guess that Talbot wouldn’t have anywhere near the same travelling support at Elgin or Peterhead which is what the Talbot fan was saying! Its rubbish to suggest otherwise.So we should just do away with the pyramid because some people might not travel to an away game? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 update re: PWG meeting & licensing My info is yesterday’s meeting didn’t even last an hour. The next PWG meet will be 13/14th April with the next SFA Board meeting 18th April. Which is too late for clubs without licence getting promoted to Lowland League. No got any further detail for meeting but hopefully that will be available soon. Personal feeling is one of deflation and annoyance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are "their members with the most clout"? The Premier League? I suspect they know little, and care less, about non-league football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthurlie1981 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Look at their squads, generally all players that would have at one time dropped out of the SPFL into the Junior top level or players that would still be top level in the West - now they dont come to/stay at the likes of Pollok or Hurlford, they choose to stay Senior and weaker players drop into the top level junior leagues.I certainly know from 1st hand knowledge that for some of the East Kilbride players it had nothing to do with the level more to do with convenience for training and the money on offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it sound that its easy to win cups and leagues at our level, i can assure you its not, we play against very good teams week in week out and a very good Beith side pipped us for the league last season.If you mean the higher level to be the lowland league, its my opinion that teams in the west premiership juniors are better teams than whats currently in lowland and some in SPL 2. I agree with all your points and as I said Talbot deserve recognition. So go and prove you're a higher level than LL. The game as a whole will be better off for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no chance of us going to the EoSL once all the other clubs joined and it meant we’d be at tier 7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say this, but then why is Maxwell keen to drop 120+ Junior clubs and the SJFA into the Pyramid, opening the door wide open to many more applications? SFA politics eh..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
