newcastle broon Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Let's get the record straight here I'm no agreeing or disagreeing wi anybody, I have no affection for Edusport Academy whatsoever. They're at where they're at today, whether we like it or not thanks to a system put in place by the heads of Scottish fitba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I have nothing against Edusport at all. They are exactly where they are because established clubs steered clear of the pyramid. When they joined the SoSFL in 2014 when there were vacancies in both the Lowland League and SoSFL. Starting up in 2011 I doubt they would have had any idea they would be where they are now, but they've adapted their model to suit the opportunity. Chances are if there was no Lowland League created in 2013 they would still have sought out joining the likes of the SoSFL/EoSFL in order to gain an SFA License, a bit like East Kilbride's plan to join the SoSFL originally. So we still would of ended up here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 210 at Whitehill v Spartans today. That’s the biggest crowd we’ve had this season home and away. Spartans pushing for promotion, the international weekend and the sun shining all helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some groundhop games got 400+ to 500+ (including an all-ticket sell-out at EK).... there were similar New Year crowds at Spartans-Edinburgh City and Gala-Selkirk, in first couple of seasons.

Hoofhearted Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 The crowd announced at he New Year game between Spartans & Edinburgh City was 532. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieb Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 There were 652 last Saturday at Pollok for a very run-of-the-mill league fixture vs Cumnock. I wonder what sort of gate we'd get if e.g. playing Selkirk or Edusport in the LL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Landan Spiv Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I was at Edinburgh University v BSC Glasgow earlier. The crowd was around 30 max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 About 450 for Gala v Selkirk in January I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitsTheGoalieDain? Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Point? Suppose it would be there isn't a lot in it crowd wise. Likes of Pollok would probably out do a lot clubs with crowds if they were a couple leagues higher. Pollok out do every team in the LL week in week out crowd wise already [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what sort of gate we'd get if e.g. playing Selkirk or Edusport in the LL? Cmon Archie, plenty of teams come to Newlandsfield with zero support and far poorer onfield sides. I don't have much truck with that kind of point - some of the teams we've played this year (at home or otherwise) would be skudded by both teams you mention. I don't pick and choose my games by opposition, I'd say few among our core support do. Some of the teams in the upper reaches of the West set-up are badly supported and don't have fans that travel. It's also a fair assumption that by the time Lok actually win a top level league title again (it's been a while!) then some of the LL's lesser lights may have been relegated out of it in turn!

I thought a few more would be there though seeing as there were no other Edinburgh clubs playing last night. What I will say though is the Edinburgh uni chairman was very welcoming and the clubhouse was very cosy. That club are definitely worth a visit to a neutral or a fan of an Edinburgh club at a loose end one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Some photos from the recent Hawick v Vale of Leithen game on twitter, @Vikinghopper - from his pic of the stand then reverse of the grass across from it, it looked about 40-50 in the stand and no one outside.
