Excellent news, and must be worth a visit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Would it be possible to have a UHI team enter the league in the future? We've seen other universities teams enter different leagues in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been great too, if city or athletic had found someone to play, in the east or south of the city. And tried to integrate into a community of the city. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bypass was an excellent chance to create all weather facilities for non league football, they blew the whole budget on rugby and golf though. Meanwhile Golspie are finally doing their bit for their SFA member status. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland ITFC Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 As things stand the NCL & other Juniors will I'm sure get some increased numbers watching them, given that many play on public parks with vantage points outside of the usual confines of the immediate pitch & sorrounding area, & folk obviously cant go & watch higher levels where actually getting into a ground is of course not possible. I know that Loch Ness playing at Highland Rugby Club have a ground mostly surrounded by open fencing, so they will be one. Which others offer good views? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pity that Bunillidh Thistle have gone into 'abeyance' for this season. It is however their intention to return in 2021/22, virus constraints permitting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were looking at selling it off for housing several years ago, from what I remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find a towel and change of clothes is perfectly adequate until I get home for a shower.

I thought the same, towel down and put on a spare track suit, but if you add on not sharing cars etc. it becomes hardly worth bothering with if you're working full time, quite apart from the isolation rules if someone else gets a positive test.

invergowrie arab Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 For clarity I did think the not wanting to contribute to spread and being self employed are genuinely good and noble reasons. Also when I played sport half the fun was the social side and a pint after. A solo drive 30 miles to play a game and a solo drive home sounds no fun at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
