Tell me there biggest rivals this season? Two different teams. One already had there own pavilion, own set up, successfull season getting promoted and now have a new manager same with CP United lothian vale on the other hand had to start for scratch which is ALOT harder than Lauriston have had it. Both very good teams but Lothian vale have the harder route Harder route to what? The only time I see both teams mentioned is when people say there are good teams in leagues below the premier and not comparing the teams. I also don’t get what you mean by having it ALOT harder than Lauriston. Having what a lot harder? We both have home parks, we both have to work equally as hard to get players in and signing for us, getting sponsors etc which I know Phildo puts a lot into . Iv brung in almost an entirely new team this summer. I’d also argue that by maintaining our own facilities, we have to work harder than clubs that don’t? More hours needed during the week to keep things running so I think that one is flawed. Edited August 19, 2019 by Dinsey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really an entirely new team though is it it's all the St Bernards team you had before !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickyRFC Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 No need to bite, I’m just stating facts that you took over a successful team on the back off promotion, with own pitch/pavilion and people running the twitter and chairman etc and are already in the championship and Phildo started completely from scratch but yes both the best teams outwith the Premier 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with less leagues now, it’s only really 2 seasons and you’re In the prem. There is already talk of only having 3 divisions in LEAFA next year due to lack of teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraz_1311 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I think there is a lot of bitterness or jealousy for a better word on here phildo and dinsy should be congratulated for keeping the amateur game going who cares if it’s an existing or new team both are putting a lot of time and effort into keeping the game going and trying to make the leafa association stronger well done guys 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandysafc Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 I think a lot of people are reading too much into Laurieston and Lothian Vales start. One thing is sure, They are nowhere near Sandy's or Tollcross. I haven't seen CP United but I've seen everyone else and if they think they will get any joy from Sandy's or tollcross in cup competitions I thing they are mistaken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandysafc Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 I agree with you about the league. I just think laurieston and Lothian are facing a completely different animal if they get Sandy's or tollcross from what they have been used to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
