No-one has ever managed to explain this. It has a special atmosphere dispite as stated before there was nothing different when we played any ex junior team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will mean the 4 games a day saddos won't touch it with a barge pole. Perfect. Of course the turkeys who voted for Christmas and who gush about the spotter fests will be able to have their annual anorak invasion. The love in with the anoraked hordes from those whose teams don't even play on the juniors, yet linger here is bordering on the pornographic. Is there nowhere for your 'superior' football to be discussed? That's you sorted then if a Juniors Groundhop happens. Inverkeithing v Heriot-Watt kicked off at 14.15 as part of the groundhop and other clubs not participating kicked off at 14.30. You'd have plenty of options.

Ginaro Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Renfrew and Ardrossan moved their games to Friday 28th December so they avoided the Old Firm match, presumably because they thought they'd get more people than the following day. If you said to them you're going to get an extra 200-250 spectators for doing the same thing again at the end of March as part of a groundhop weekend they'd probably do it again.

Somewhere north of the Tay, if they're going to descend on the West would do me fine...but I have that luxury.Clubs' supporters aren't so lucky and THEY are what matters, not me (I fit in with normal kick off times.) Naturally, the spin will be that loyal supporters 'don't mind, as it's one off' or some such tosh. regardless whether it's true or not ( Not ALL involve themselves in internet forums. focus groups or trendy initiatives, they just turn up at 2 ( pedant alert), pay their way in, watch and go home.)

Moving a game for those reasons is entirely different to doing so to be a part of a circus though, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Gold Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 You'd be better beating ter bawz with a cricket bat on here Froggie. It's like the other thread where they circle somebody who doesn't agree and hound them off the thread. I think you will find there is very few Junior fans partake in their shitfests.

In both cases you're moving a game so that people who wouldn't otherwise be there can come and watch your game. Different reasons but end result is the same.

Ginaro Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Quote It had been a worry, we were beginning to run out of clubs to visit in the old East of Scotland League’s set-up and I’d found myself thinking about my attempts to bring in the Juniors. Back in 2016 I’d rather enjoyed myself in presenting the Groundhop concept to the West Region Juniors at Hampden. The clubs were in favour back then, but one member of that region’s committee made absolutely sure it didn’t happen (He refused to answer his phone or answer his emails!).
