You didn't seem to have many for ypur first team when we played you. Any I spoke to had relatives in the team and would go elsewhere if their relatives moved on. Its obviously been difficult in terms of that playing in Alloa, however I have to say Alloa have been tremendous with us. In an ideal World we love more people there, but we are realistic and not getting hung up on it. the key to everything is getting back to Glasgow, something that we work on every day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still won't have any fans. Which was the problem with your cobbled together LL. You don't want spfl colt teams yet you are happy to have glorified youth clubs in the fith tier of pro football.

Hillonearth Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 2 minutes ago, Patches O'Houlihan said: BSC would like to have a range of teams across all levels of football, meaning a place for everyone to play dependant on their level. It has always seemed to us that the next logical step in the Pyramid was a West League. West teams who want a shot at the pyramid have to travel to Dumfries etc every second week? It doesn’t make financial sense. I am also sure the well run teams in the current SOS league would welcome not having to travel up to Glasgow etc. Christmas obviously must be the time for coming together as you'll get no arguments there... I find it slightly worrying that the concept is being floated by a club - any club, lest you think I'm fixating (!)- rather than the organisations involved though. It suggests there may not actually be appetite for change at Hampden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, it will take a seismic shift at HQ to get this through, but if you don’t try you’ll never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not the way to build teams, from within? I don’t know if you’ve noticed but there isn’t a lot of money in Scottish football, so why not produce your own players? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with it but teqms like your own are youth clubs and should stick to it. You don't have the ground or fanbase to be a pro team. Stick to what you are good at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is people are up in arms about colt teams yet are happy to have clubs from youth setups with no ground and no fans in tier 5. Anyway merry xmas we'll agree to disagree.
