                P16  42pts       P15  39pts       P14  36pts       P14  30pts

Unless Linlithgow win both those Jeanfield matches, I don't think we'll win the conference, and I don't have a lot of confidence that we will. Our record against better opposition has not been at all good this season, because our defence is not good enough for this level. Against anyone weaker it hasn't mattered, they've generally been overwhelmed by a creative and energetic midfield and even when they do get forward they've lacked the skill and pace to do much harm. But against teams who can live with that, we cough up no end of opportunities. Thom is a good footballer with decent feet and reasonable pace, but he just does not have a feel for the centre half position and where he needs to be in relation to his partner. It's not working back there, and on top of that, the keeper has occasional calamities.

I haven't seen Jeanfield this season but if they're good enough to have that many points, they're presumably good enough to get something off Rose. If they do, I think Broxburn win it.

It's gonna be exciting.

Tbf - if you won your remaining games including Preston, but lost v Linlithgow... you'd have 32pts.

Preston lose v yourselves, Camelon + Jeanfield, and only beat either Heriot-Watt Uni or St Andrews (not both)... 30pts or 31pts.

Heriot-Watt Uni lose v Camelon + Jeanfield, win the rest except lose one (e.g. Preston)... 32pts.

St Andrews lose v Broxburn, Jeanfield and Linlithgow, win the rest... 30pts.


Slim chance - better if you held/beat Linlithgow.

It's not outlandish to think the "top 4" may win most or all of their games against the lower sides... to date only Jeanfield has so dropped points? Where you are probably struggling is the need, in that scenario, for Preston and Heriot-Watt to drop points in one of their other games: if they win them all, even you winning 3 of 4 isn't enough.

How much are they looking to raise?

£10,000

https://www.gofundme.com/broxburnathleticfc

They seem to be rejigging some of their social media which seems a bit backwards when trying to do a fundraiser. This is meant to be their new twitter with 3 followers https://twitter.com/BroxburnAthFC

Their old one had over 2,706 and was still posting yesterday https://twitter.com/BroxburnAth/

What do Broxburn need to do their ground to get a licence that amounts to £10k?? And more over, having been to SFA licensed Christie Gilles park a year or so ago (a very pleasant visit too i might add), what does it have that Albyn Park doesn't?

Unless i'm not getting a proper understanding of 'SFA licensed'......(entirely possible!)

The ground is only part of the licensing process. Albyn desperately needs the pitch relaid, but I would imagine BUSC would be in charge of this as the charity that owns the park?

It costs £2k to apply but don't know if that's already been paid going by their previous statement. They have cover, floodlights (don't know the lux but presumably they are ok for entry), and plenty of rooms in their building going by the planning application. Maybe disabled facilities need to be upgraded?

That's my take from the level they're asking for at the moment. Something manageable for them mid-long term. But they need it done now to get licensed this season.

£2k just to apply!! Wow - would like to see the breakdown of that figure. Seems astronomical, and thoroughly discouraging to teams looking to apply.

I still can't see what Civil Service Strollers have in place that Broxburn don't (granted I don't have an inside knowledge)
