I'd prefer AR to retain their league status rather than BR or any more interlopers with their two men and a dog level of support but business has to be done on 30/3. Not sure if you are looking for a bite but I’ll have a nibble anyway. Our average attendance is almost double that of Albion’s this season and our average att. is around 450/500 isn’t so bad considering our season and our form over the past few years in fact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove still 3 ahead with a game in hand. In the Lowland League EK failed to win today drawing 0-0 with Cumbernauld Colts so the title party has been put on halt, EK's next chance to wrap it up is at home against Spartans on Tuesday. Wednesday: Fort William v. Cove Rangers. So long as the game gets played you can already call Cove 6 points clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 After a few false starts, is the inevitable EK - Clyde grudge match finally on for next season? This makes for quite the spicy picture. Has it really only been a couple of seasons since certain Berwick fans were calling out the Angus clubs for being useless? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Highly doubtful EK or Cove Rangers could beat a SFL2 team over two games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get to a SPFL2 game to see how wrong you are. Having seen plenty of Cove and beating them with a poorer team than we have this season,I don’t think he is. Brora are probably the better HL team anyway and we beat them in the cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden Cowboy Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The quality of the SPFL 2 is higher than the LL and the HL - the top teams in those other leagues quite often get an easy ride in some of their games. The same nonsense was quoted about the juniors for years. The decrying of the quality of L2 is just one of those tropes that are trotted out without any real justification by folks who watch too much Champions League 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some quite decent teams now with some pretty good players. But, over 2 games, would I put a bit of cash on Berwick, Rovers or even Cowden to beat Cove or EK, definitely not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The trapdoor is weighted in favour of the League 2 sides. It’s not straight promotion/relegation. It’s a trapdoor with a massive safety net. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Potato Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Think East Kilbride will be far too strong for Cove and also do us in the final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decrying of the quality of L2 is just one of those tropes that are trotted out without any real justification by folks who watch too much Champions League This is true.However any promoted team would have a summer(at least) to bridge the gap.Two different questions here.A) how would top end tier 5 clubs do vs league 2 opposition. AndB) how would top end tier 5 clubs compete in league 2 if promoted and receive the extra finance given to those clubs.This goes for the difference between most levels, you get the likes of Brechin who’ll massively struggle with the step up but you also have teams like livi and Ayr, it’s the beauty of a fluid divisional structure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
