edinabear Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Can anyone clarify the rules surrounding these 2 reserve sides in the SofS? Can they get promoted? Can they play any of their 1st team players? Are they mainly Under 20s? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 They can't be promoted. They can play whoever they like, AFAIA, as everyone is on senior registration. In practice they're basically U20s - perhaps anyone suspended/not in first-team squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks HibeeJibee, always helpful! So, in theory, say if Stranraer reserves are going for the title on the last game of the season they could play their first team?

HibeeJibee Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 You mean and play their U20s in SPFL1? I don't think the rulebook prevents it but I'd imagine both leagues having something to say about it. I don't follow SOSL as closely but in EOSL a couple of weeks ago Stirling Uni's first-team didn't have a game. I looked-up their EOSL team's game to see if they used any first-team players - not 1 of the previous weekend's first-team 18-man squad featured in that 18-man squad.

info Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Good thinking by them . Would be quite a slap in the face for the reserve plasyers if they had played their 1sts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue1870 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Why would stranraer fc play their spfl1 team in the south. We use our under 20s side in the spfl development league to field a few first teamers coming back from injury or not getting games and that tends to be only about 3-5 or whatever the rules state. Most senior teams have bounce matches in glasgow to get game time. Our under 20s side is an ayrshire, south glasgow and paisley side which makes sense in my opinion. While our south team is made up of wigtownshire boys coming up from the youth setup plus a few experienced older heids. How could a squad of under 20s from stranraer travel all over west central scotland every week to get gubbed then goto work or school the following day. The odd one if good enough i imagine will come through to senior level if good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguerooooo Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 A few good kids playing for Stranraer who could turn in to decent players but seen Annan once against Abbey Vale and they looked really young and not ready for this level of amateur league. U20 league same as Mid Annandale could be an option for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladywell bear Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 If Sanny gets time he will go close in this league great coach and knows the game and will knock the youngsters into a sold unit that will be hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense having the 2 different "reserve" squads for a side like Stranraer with one playing in the Glasgow area for the midweek games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Reserve teams usually don't last long. Now with speculation over Stranraer's finances, i wonder if their SoSFL team will be one and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue1870 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Stranraer FC get rid of some of the 1st team squad. Best striker at club Ryan Wallace to Arbroath, Tom Lang to Clyde and Danny Stoney to BSC. Liam Dick to Dumbarton. Steven Bell to Ayr. http://www.stranraerfc.org Chairman answers questions from the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
