Been ages since I was at a Candy Rock's home game and good to hear that the crowds are over 100. Non-league footy is where it's at ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no happened as yet, crowd v ww was very poor but it was a pissin doon freezing midweek night when a Saturday fixture would've probably attracted a lot more. Success on the park attracts fans?

When Shire were there in October the crowd was around 150 with at least 50 away Shire fans. Thought like you this is a club that could have a decent fan base and compared to the previous season it looked like this was beginning to happen but it was unclear if it was was just people with connections to the club through the various teams they run or from locals. Hopefully we will see a number of the Colts fans at Ochilview next Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 [emoji38] is that the best you can come up wi. For every Edu there's always a Shire, for every Lithgierose Rose there's always a Rossvale [emoji6] Difference is that the Rose are top tier in the East and Rossvale are third tier in the West. Edusport and the Shire share a league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanley Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 It's the fault of the system rather than the club. If they are allowed a licence playing in Annan with no ground of their own (or even a town to represent) then I don't think it's their fault for taking advantage of that. They are hardly going to suddenly say "lots of people have a problem with our set-up so let's withdraw from the Lowland League". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdenbeath Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Just now, newcastle broon said: No saying Kelty have zero fans but are they no doing the same thing....... Aye both have done the same thing. Difference is Kelty have been an asset to to the EOSL and will easily be the biggest supported club there. They also represent a community and looking at their website are doing a good few things in that community. Edusport represent no one, Glasgow based and playing in Annan. Apart from Annan fans who don't do away games and away fans who goes to watch them? I was at their game at the Shire a few Sunday's back and you could hear a hankie drop when they scored - no one there supporting them. For the pyramid to evolve to its full potential you need more Kelty's and other junior sides to be involved that's where the crowds are at the top end of non league football.

Well I know all that, the talk has been going roond and circles on here for a few seasons now but whether we like it or not it's still no Edusports fault where they're at.

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on our thoughts about them. I'm maybe too much of a traditionalist believing there's no point in a football club without fans but obviously someone at the SFA thinks different.

JakeSAFC Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Edusport should be nowhere near our pyramid. Get them into the amateurs where they belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
