Proved that last year at both finals, 2 to 1 Bonnyrigg fans who are arguably the biggest east junior club at the minute. Top 5 in the East at what? Number of managers they have gone through in last 5 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranent better supported than Linlithgow or Boness. Our avaerage gate is 300 plus we have 120 season ticket holders. Once in the SL Tranent will compete at the top comfortably. I’ve spoken to players at both clubs recently, scrapping about for training kit at both clubs. Our players want for nothing. Maybe that’s why we can attract big players. Time will tell! It’s all about opinions, difference is our manager could sign who he wanted. He’d be supported 100% only us and Kelty have that luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised about the average gate. When Musselburgh were at Tranent in October, there weren’t 300at that game and that was a derby match. When do you see Tranent being in the Super League? Last season, winning 2 cups was a great achievement for Tranent, and that should have kick-started a great season this year. But that hasn’t materialised. If your manager could sign who he wanted, was that the case at the start of the season. Players should have been clambering to sign for Tranent, given their cup success. Not sure that happened, but then, that is my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I've spoken to players who joined the rose this year and they have commented on what a step up in the level of organisation it is here. From training kit to having your boots looked after to the whole set up so perhaps your Intel was from over the other side of the flints?300? Maybe if we stopped counting at the half way line....

So Tranent are bankrolled by a sugar daddy and that's why they can pay for players like Ian Black? Stuff like that never ends well.300 is impressive.

Dipple burn Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Tranent had a good support when we visited twice in 1976. So much love spread about on those two meetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about opinions but people saying Tranent aren’t a big club!! Just check the history books not just the past decade when we have been a small club. Stick in chaps, hopefully see you in the SL in the next 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie n beans Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 To many drugs getting taken today Tranent are nowhere near a superleague team and for being in the top 2 or 3 for crowds in the east is a total fabrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate blackie as a player and a person but its got media attention on the juniors ( especially tranent ) so can only be a good thing. How long he lasts, only time will tell. He will be on a fair bit of coin id imagine. I don't think McCarthy ever played for Welfare in an official match (may have done in friendlies though). He had a connection with Welfare player John Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
