Looking for att or headcount for following games from yesterday 

Hawick Royal Albert v Arniston

Oakley Utd v Musselburgh 

Tynecastle v Sauchie 

Preston Ath v Broxburn Ath

Heriot Watt v Edinburgh Utd

Tweedmouth v Newtongrange 

Any help would be great thanks 

The feeling would seem to be 30 odd at Heriot-Watt v Edin United.

Why are certain clubs holding onto the juniors tag.

"Why not".

Whisper it but I'd heard Hamilton aren't schoolboys, Inverurie don't fix railway engines, Burntisland aren't unprofessional boatbuilders and Forres even field non-garagemen :unsure:...

Well after all the debating about juniors being called exactly that.and folk saying it can put folk off going to games because they associate it with kids football.junior clubs moving to the big boys leagues [emoji16] have the chance to get rid of the juniors tag.just a thought.

Why change the name of the club, its no different a moniker than Rovers, United or the Wee Rose.

Tbh I doubt many fans of Camelon or Tranent go around calling themselves "the Juniors", nor will that be a nickname the clubs would use in marketing themselves to prospective supporters - it would be "the Mariners" or "the Belters". If a couple of clubs want to keep the JFC tag for historical reasons - permanently or to begin with - I don't see an issue.

To give a serious example Burntisland Shipyard only dropped "Amateurs" for last season despite having joined senior football some 5yrs earlier.

From a practical point of view it also avoids the need to immediately replace so many bits of signage, kit, headed notepaper etc. although some have done this (e.g. Easthouses' ground's all rebranded - even EOSL logos etc.).

Didn’t do a full headcount but I’d reckon there was about 200 at Burntisland v Bo’ness on Saturday.

Chart has 178.


EDIT: Interesting at this early stage to compare league-only figures with SPFL. Kelty and Bonnyrigg have higher averages than Stranraer, Cowdenbeath, Edinburgh City and Albion Rovers... Tranent higher than Cowden, City and Albion... Bo'ness and Musselburgh higher than City and Albion... Camelon and Linlithgow higher than Albion.

However in some cases that's as they've only played a couple of home league games and one was a derby. If you widen it out to include cup-ties (which non-league clubs play more of especially "early on" in the season), then Spartans have a higher average than Stranraer, Cowdenbeath, Edinburgh City and Albion Rovers... Linlithgow and Bonnyrigg higher than Cowden, City and Albion... Kelty and Musselburgh higher than City or Albion... Bo'ness higher than Albion.

Some good company to be keeping, for now.
