lookinforgoals Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 On 20/01/2019 at 15:56, The real Dembele said: Not at all mate just being realistic, optimistic if anything. Glensmad said he expected Bens to score a similar amount to the 9 they got against Girvan and we're in the habit of losing 9, title challengers at home to the bottom team who haven't got a single point. I'm not a player but if you offered me 3-0 I'd bite your hand off, a respectable score and realistically as much as we can hope for. And for the record, the players have done anything but throw the towel in in any of their games this season. Their attitude has been brilliant and they've kept going even in the face of repeated pumpings, the problem is ability and experience at this level, not their attitude. Wasn't having a dig just disappointed if that the attitude coming out the club. Had some great away days at larkhall and always found them a well run outfit. Hit hard times but with a good support and the right people in charge I'm sure you'll be back up the leagues soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team that has its own ground in a sellable location is vulnerable to a possible ground buyout, albeit with some of the replacement grounds being at least a bit better than the rest (Carluke, Petershill for example) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team that has its own ground in a sellable location is vulnerable to a possible ground buyout, albeit with some of the replacement grounds being at least a bit better than the rest (Carluke, Petershill for example) Rossvale never owned Huntershill, which was always owned by the Council, and like most new Clubs we can't afford to purchase the land, then build a pitch and suitable changing faciliities/stand, as itis well outwith most new junior clubs budgets. At a million pounds an acre in Bishopbriggs, and a new astro pitch alone costing £500,000, then the days of Clubs having their own facilities have long gone. Even laying a good quality grass is in the six figure range after drainage and good enough turf. Most Clubs have to rely on councils, otherwise there would be no new teams in the league. The decision by the Juniors committee was to build a team to put pressure on the Council to allow the Club to look at putting the facilities in ourselves. That however takes time. Rossvale Juniors are only eight years old, and in a town of 25,000 people, surrounded by Glasgow, we are not in a small area where we can argue easily that we are the focal point of the community. We are in Bishopbriggs with Allan Glens, St Mungos, Glasgow Harp, West Park, Edfc, Springburn Harriers, Bishopbriggs Tennis Club etc, so the Council can't be seen to favour one club making progress difficult. We face many challenges but haven't done that bad after the short existence, and would ask that people be a bit sympathetic considering a lot of the Clubs we are competing against have 40 year, 50 year, and longer head start than is. If we are still in the same position in 10 years then people have every right to comment. Its harder to start a junior team now and put in appropriate facilities due to health and safety, and numerous other regulations, which weren't around when most Juniors were starting. This makes it difficult to set up a pie stall etc due to council regulations. When we were at Petershill, cordia ran the pie stall and we got no revenue. We had to give a cut of the gate over and above hiring the facility to the council for no extra benefits. We had to buy cordials hospitality as we weren't allowed to bring anything in. We weren't allowed to put banners up for advertising. Every barrier to raise money was blocked. This isn't about people at the Club not wanting it, it's simply not a feasible prospect when others are holding us back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically it's one or two deep for the spectators at the side of the pitch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Oh joy! So basically it's one or two deep for the spectators at the side of the pitch?It's not a very big spectating area, and there is no cover at all. If you're bringing any form of sizeable support, tell them to come early as there is only so much room in the spectator section. The rest would need to watch through the fence. That's not meant as a criticism in any way, just describing how it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
